this adds fire to the fear that the us is going to decline into a regional power w latin america as its region.

i’m guessing there are a lot more pro-american venezuelans than vietnamese due to cultural and historical ties.

i use them and they keep holding out on me. lol

i need to find this feature before i see another post reminding everyone about donations.

where else can the rich park their money?

the us used to be the answer; but things have changed and i wonder if they’ll just park it in europe anyways.

this is going to turn into another vietnam or afghanistan.

it’ll run for decades while the american public forget that it’s happening (like everything else) and there’ll be a few sensational stories when the us leaves w it’s collective tail tucked between its legs.

While Russian courts have little power to force the handover of Euroclear’s euro or dollar assets held in Belgium, they do have the power to take retaliatory action against Euroclear balances held in Russian financial institutions.

However, in 2024 the European Commission introduced a legal mechanism to compensate Euroclear for losses incurred in Russia due to its compliance with Western sanctions — effectively neutralizing the economic effects of Russia’s retaliation.

it looks like euroclear following through on their promise of legal action is the only thing that will carry any weight.

I just wish we had Democrats that were actually better at opposing this shit to make it even harder.

i too wish to believe in unicorns and santa claus

so too is birthright citizenship, but the supreme court is going to consider it anyways.

gotta make microsoft happy to help you survive as the world embraces ai for the same reasons they used to embrace your content.

Euroclear warned that without clear legal ownership structures and enforceable rights, investor confidence could be undermined, potentially disrupting broader European capital flows.

both euroclear and russia have promised to bring up legal action ensuring that this economic nightmare comes to pass and this combined w their recent capitulations to trump goes to show how much the eu will cut off its nose to spite its face to the detriment of its future.

i wish i could believe that the us/isreali hegemony was imminently collapsing like most marxists/leninists do; but this makes it feel like it’s centuries away at the sooonest

finally, some good news today.

thanks, i needed the uplift.

which of the stories are you referring to?

throw a big rock and wait for the yelp to find out.

what about those who believe that we should give trump another chance to “figure it out and make it right”?

for the freedom! lol

it’s a tangent on this post and it’s me wondering why UN officials from delegations like the americans block humanitarian resolutions while turning around an insisting on humanitarian goals.

it would make sense if they’re two-faced politicians, but they’re lifelong diplomats.

china has already proven that it won’t step in to save venezuela and the tanker they seize this tanker because it’s part of the black fleet that has been keeping russia’s economy going despite the sanctions.

i wonder what drives people to join the UN only to enable asshattery like this and i think it’s too simplistic to just label them as ideological zealots; but what else could it be?

i stopped trusting them when their ceo voiced support for trump.
