I hold a significant portion in US treasuries as part of safety for passive income. I used to think US treasuries would be safe and if they defaulted the world will end anyway.

But now I can really see them defaulting and the world would still carry on. America seems to be losing it in record time. All the big countries are reducing their ownership now. They know whats up.

Maybe its time for me to reallocate?

Why not invest in stocks. Cause I find them better than bonds after bond markets became dumb money due to quantitative easing. Trump might go after Powell and that is very risky.

Zelensky sure now get the useless puppet treatment. Should study the case of Ngo Dinh Diem. Most dangerous for his life and his family is from CIA. Which means no Boeing plane, no US embassy, no close circle general or colonel.

The CIA rarely does the dirty work themselves in such cases. No need to avoid Boeing aircraft or the US embassy.

Odds are someone looking to replace Zelensky will sort things out with Uncle Sam's sanction, which may be communicated by the CIA, the US ambassador to Ukraine, or even Elon Musk at this point . . .

The possibility of a reverse Nixon was always pure fantasy, especially with how much Russia had to integrate with the Chinese economy for the past few years its been isolated from the EU and probably will continue to be so in the future. However, depending on how far this normalization goes, I personally don't think it'll go very far, but if it does come to pass that the US and Russia fully normalize all economic, diplomatic, and cultural relations, then I could definately see a future where Russia will pivot away from its "no-limits partnership" with China and be more open to playing the two powers against eachother. One sticking point nobody can deny is that China has been fully taking advantage of the war to gobble up real estate in Central Asia, real estate Russia will probably want back since it still sees Central Asia as its backyard.

Like I said, everything is predicated on how far the normalization goes, but this is why even if just on principle of being anti-West some here think China should tell the EU to shove it, it is imperative China take advantage of the trans-Atlantic rift to bolster its ties with the bloc. The age of ideaologically based competition is over and the world has fully swung back to the good ol-fashioned 19th Century age of realpolitk and alliances among strange bedfellows. China should thus continue doing what it has always done best and make sure every party has some incentive to continue working with it.

Goes to show too, how even if some were annoyed Chinese foreign policy was always defined by non-aligned mercantalism rather than actually promoting an ideaology, the leadership was really once again ahead of the curve in terms of its diplomatic strategy on the global stage.

With the end of Russia US hostility, China should keep the door of EU open, in case Russia move westward. Although Russia is the prefered ally and has no reason to betray, I have seen stranger things by Europeans.

Trump 2.0 official thread

People are cheering the collapse of the US too early. The imperial core might be in trouble, but the fact is, the US still has a lot of power, influence, and control around the world. Trump is just more willing to make use of that power than Biden was - he's the sort of president to abuse it to...

I am shocked. Is Trump crazy? He has turned into a real dictators-loving politician. USA should maintain weapons flow to Ukraine until after Russia withdraws. Giving into dictators and imperialists has never been an American thing. I hope Mr Trump and his team know something that we don't know and USA will never make concessions to Russia.

Unless you’re the Saudies, Isreal, UAE etc. The number one supporter of dictators and human rights abusers has always been USA.

, which will be inflationary and perhaps even a step towards UBI, you'll probably want to consider allocations in inflation resistant asset classes.

There are obviously a number of options, but they all tend to be less liquid than equity or bonds.

How was she recruited? (I remember a Shanghai marathon protestors seem to be indoctrinated by a US based Chinese name woman who use translation jobs as way, cant remember the twtr name of that woman) curious abt her background story....

Most likely digitally, or while abroad. Due to the insane counter-intelligence environment inside China, the CIA tends to recruit most of their Chinese HUMINT assets outside of China.

One of the top posts there, smh.

Some Chinese netizens dug some prophetic passages from chancellor of West Germany Helmut Schmidt's book Men and Powers: A Political Retrospective which contained his recollections of conversation with Chairman Mao.
