Government bonds’ yields aren’t just market data points; in some circumstances they became tools of discipline. Markets have the power to force the hand of entire governments. They don’t just react; they call for clear and sustainable actions. It doesn’t matter how large a country’s GDP was, how modern its institutions, how strong its military, or how charismatic its leadership. If the market’s confidence is lost, the consequences are immediate and brutal.
According to the UN there were 14000 civilians killed in the Donbass following the U.S. coup in 2014 and its arming of the Ukrainian Nazis. Putin should have gone in sooner. And I’m not aware of China invading anyone. But here’s me telling you what the whole world already knows 🤔
i've maintained since it happened that leaving Afghanistan was biden's biggest mistake-of course,the process was begun by trump-from what i understand,the monetary costs were relatively modest,personnel losses were minimal,we weren't on the front lines,and we were maintaining the status quo-not a bad thing-with gains in women's rights-and we had boots on the ground and a listening post in a dangerous part of the world-2 huge rivals,4 countries with nuclear weapons,many terrorists who want them-would russia have invaded ukraine had we been in the neighborhood?would india and pakistan be fighting,both with nukes,as has russia-withdrawal from a world that needs a policeman is a bad idea-pax americana is burdensome,but would you rather china,russia,or anyone else be the policeman
