If you genuinely believe the Bitcoin network can't be hacked or doesn't potentially have a backdoor entry then you are being naive.

There is nothing on this planet that can't be hacked. Don't confuse perceived difficulty for impossibility.

Didn't someone explain this to Sunak?

Clearly he didn't comprehend the blindingly obvious.

So Europe sets a price cap on Russian oil at $60 even though they won't be in receipt of Russian oil as Moscow keeps repeating. So less supply in market so Europe will end up paying more than they would have done so from Russia.

Clown show is going to get much worse.

US is a millstone around the neck of Europe.

The US jobs report today looks like they have finally admitted they have been utter nonsense for years and that they don't care anymore if we know.

The rally in gold and silver relates to structural problems in the paper markets.

We are not yet at the point were physical supply and demand, meaning true price discovery has been achieved.

Westerners are bemused because they have seen that even relatively small protests in China have led to policy changes wrt covid. Unlike of course their own nations.

It is making them have to rightly reassess what they perceive China as a nation to be.

Ongoing visible fracture of EU and US relations. Atlanticists in Brussels are alarmed.

We are now in the window for a potential Russian offensive. This was an established fact weeks ago.

There is no mystery or privileged information associated with this.

Another example of west looking for a way out of the war.

Macron stated if Putin agrees to negotiations ending the war, the West should consider giving Russia guarantees in the future security architecture.

Defense Secretary Austin says US 'will not let' China reshape Indo-Pacific region

If China continues to not succumb to US provocation wrt Taiwan then Washington's erratic impulse behaviour will be exposed to the Global South, as we see here.

As ever, to all the attention seeking children masquerading as adults, you are wasting your time. Your tantrums are less than irrelevant. Resolve the issues that cause your obvious unhappiness in the real world.

As we keep saying, Europe itself is increasingly becoming fractured.

So @MarinSanna genuinely believes in what she says. Whatever your perspective, you can't fault that.

It is what has led her to believe things that are so far removed from the reality of geopolitics, which is the real issue here.

According to the World Bank, by the end of 2022, 8 million people in Ukraine will be below the poverty line. Those in poverty will have increased from 2% to 25%.

So EU gets no Russian oil and the rest of the world continues buying it as they have been.

The price cap for Russian oil will not effect the oil imported by Japan from the Sakhalin-2 project.

Because #fintwit believes there has to be another WRC to replace $, they are lulled into totally false sense of security about its future and relative longevity. When there is realisation that there is no need to have WRC in future, assumptions about $ are turned on their head.

History is littered with ideologues, who believed they were/are doing the right thing only to destroy everything in their wake. That is precisely what is now happening in west as the empire continues its collapse.
