If Putin is no longer the leader of Russia, then having wealth outside of Russia is very useful. That can be because he had to flee or for his family. Obviously it has to be hidden, so the assets are not seized by other countries due to sanctions against Russia. So it has to have a financial manager, so sign necessary paperwork at least. Epstein can be easily blackmailed, making him easy to control. However he is certainly not the only one. Putin has the wealth of Russia, so stacking away some millions is pretty easy.

Great! He can enter the US and be thrown into prison!

The main issue is Dassault and not the French in general. The other parts of the project like the combat cloud and engine development are working out well. So yeah probably multiple aircraft sharing parts and software.

Germany had 29% workshare on Eurofighter and Spain 14%. It is not like there is no capability to work on fighter jets.

A $75k bet that Trump would loosing the election makes me doubt that it is insider info. It can just be a rich guy gambling.

France Dassault wants 80% of the workshare on FCAS. Germany and Spain absolutly do not like that idea, as they themself want significant shares in the project, including leadership on subsystems. So it currently looks like the entire project breaks up and Airbus builts a plane for Germany and Spain and France goes solo. However Airbus has never fully built a fighter jet(they have been part of Eurofighter though), so it might take time. Obviously buying American F35 is also on the table, as they are the only actually working 5th Gen fighter jets Germany might buy.

It has to be said, that FCAS might still be saved and the F35 purchase is being talked about and nothing more atm.

And that is why rich countries genuinly want to help poor ones with containing disesas of any kind. Unless they are run by morons.

It probably is more like: “Government forces the people to take some evil vaccines due to those scientists, who lie to you. Also those evil scientists are telling the government to stop us emitting greenhouse gases, dump chemical waste and so forth. Also the shut downs during Covid were pushed for by those evil scientists.”

So less wanting to actually spread the disesas and more following science hurts our bottom line.

It depends on the sanctions. Banning arms sales to say Sudan is a form of sanction and in many cases helps the people.

It is already hitting hard and not just Western countries. The fertility rate is below replacement on every continent besides Africa already. Countries like China and Thailand have shrinking populations today. The global fertility rate was at 2.3 in 2023 according to the UN.

2/3 of global trade is done in US dollars. However a lot of that has currency risk, like say Chinese companies paying their Chinese workers in yuan. So if the dollar looses value compared to other currencies, the old contracts can lead to exporters selling their products for less then they are worth. That is not a good situation to be in for a lot of companies.

In other words Northern Rock would be a joke compared to this.

She is a hardcore Communist. Her father was a guerilla leader in the Venezuelan jungle. It was obvious to anybody, that she would betray Trump at the first oppurtunity. However being able to sell oil to the US and pay some money to Trump directly via some Qatari payment scheme is still much better then having full blown sanctions on Venezuela. Rodriguez is also a realists and understands that this is actually an oppurtunity to strengthen the country, if it is played smartly.

The Danes arrived on Greenland before the Inuit. They then settled and left after a few centuries, but indigenous is a problematic argument for Greenland being independent.

Europe is not looking at China too much. The entire “no-limits friendship” with Russia is hurting that relationship pretty badly.

If he got Greenland enough time, until the US invades Iran, then it would be fine. Btw Iran war is coming soo. Trump is already moving military assets for it.

The main purpose of the board is to oversee the Gaza ceasefire. So this will probably lead to a bunch of Muslim leaders openly supporting Israel in some votes. To be fair they do not care and many openly do very similar things themself or even took part in it like Egypt. Still the population of the countries does care and mostly supports Palestine.

The ‘board of peace’ so far:

The funny part is that there is a Muslim majority…

Sure, but there are a lot of countries, which are either cheap enough to retire to or are willing to accept qualified US workers. Also a lot of Americans have some relatively recent migrant background and might apply for citizenship by decent from some countries.

Especially being an IT professional and going to the Netherlands. DAFT visas, which are for entrepreneurs seem to be one of the most common ways to get into the EU.
