Careful, try not to cut yourself on that edge!

It was already publicly known that Iran warned about their strikes in advance, so it seemed clear they weren’t trying to escalate. I think the markets took that measured response as a good sign.

Probably trying to flatter him into pressuring Russia.

I know that’s what they are saying, I guess I think they’ll blink when a large percentage of users don’t buy a whole new computer just for a new Windows version.

I’ll believe that they’ll stop shipping security patches when they actually do it. It would obviously be a terrible idea for the reason you stated.

In a normal world, “more erratic, less effective” is what you would expect to happen. Now that he’s packed his administration with ass kissing sycophants, they’ll just keep pretending that every crazy thing he says is 5D chess or whatever and follow his orders.

The chaos is the point, and he’s very effective at that.

Or possibly just more drugs

Hey! I’m not 50 yet!

Oh ok so you never had a point that you were capable of defending, lost the plot a couple posts ago, and have now decided that it’s everyone else’s fault.

Welcome to the internet! First time?

Ok but that’s not some universally recognized term, and is more ambiguous than what you objected to. Try again?

OK smart guy, which word would have been better?

No, it’s higher than a full squat, and you aren’t really leaning on anything. If you want to be super fucking pedantic you could call it a half stand I guess, but the point is your butt is off the seat.

There’s no good word for that position, and you’re doing your best to point out perceived flaws in wording rather than trying to understand.

And then the tariffs go away and boom! Rug pull!

Some banks, like HSBC, will allow you to hold foreign currency accounts. There are also things like Wise, but I haven’t looked much in to it.

I don’t see the point of holding EUR though as you can’t spend them here. You’d be better off investing in a currency ETF, or just international stocks/funds if your goal is to diversify from the US.

It brings fear, it’s terrorism plain and simple. The goal is to demoralize the enemy population in general, not to gain any tactical advantage.

Pretty sure he is exactly that though, venal and stupid. Putin bought a president on the cheap.

Well we do have laws against fraud, deceptive marketing, etc. It’s hard for me to imagine what we would be arresting someone for unless it were one of those already illegal acts.

It’s nice to say it should be illegal to take advantage of someone, but who decides if that happened, and by what criteria?

Just another opportunity for the oligarchs to buy more of our country at a discount!
