Indeed. Why them.

How about a man-made famine. How about supporting illegal settlements. How about cutting off any hope of an independent state.

If any country did what they are doing to Palestinians, we’d call it a holocaust.

Yeah, you’re right. This isn’t the only reason to “fuck Israel”. There are a lot of reasons. It’s lost the right to be a country.

If true, fuck Israel.

What pressure? Wasn’t the whole thing pretty much planned for years?

Putin went there with an agenda. Trump blew hot air about sanctions if there wasn’t a ceasefire, and 3 hours in, he’s parroting the Putin line. Trump has dementia- he shouldn’t be in charge of an ice cream van.

He always caves under pressure. Totally clueless

Wow, I had to look that one up. Had never heard of it.

This looks promising. I’m in Ireland - we’re always the last to get these (too small a country!)

One to keep an eye on - thanks for that.

I wish Europe had its own payment system (that’s widely accepted). There are a few, but tend to be only at a national level.

But it’s even worse than that. The US has to rollover about 9 trillion of debt in 2025. Someone has to buy these bonds and if Japan or China are reluctant, it likely means higher interest rates to be offered in order to secure the sale.
