Uh, Israel and USA are already bombing core infra in Iran. Iran is retaliating against Israel as your point 2 states, and against the Gulf countries on their critical monetary assets - because that's where it hurts either party. Target

It's ridiculously funny that if I were to graduate from HBS today with an MBA, I would have a lower chance of securing my first job as an analyst at a private equity fund, as a fresh graduate. The numbers for graduates are even more te

The Times has never been left-wing. It has always played enlightened moderate centrist, choosing to vibe with whatever flavour was in vogue in the political climate. When Obama was President, they swung sufficiently left in terms of policy

For starters, actual spy stations away from the US, inside the borders of a friendly country? Mar-a-Lago is just next door to Cuba. Setting up reliable and fully controlled spy networks within the borders of a hostile country is hard. Like

China is most definitely going to be spending that in a tit-for-tat arrangement, as hinted at by the spy stations.

You'd be surprised at the benefits of something as mundane as proximity in espionage. Especially for a country like China or Russia which is very far away from mainland USA. Tracking troop movements at lower latency, tracking comms on

While Blackstone and other PE firms are involved in buying those assets directly (part of my old job), Blackrock is also indirectly involved by buying up massive portions of the REITs listed by these firms, which validated the business in t

It's China, Cuba needs $8-10 billion USD, money that China isn't that eager to put into Cuba, but Trump's constant warmongering against Cuba has given China the opportunity to put a bunch of spy stations on the island. #saved

Would be nice if Blackrock weren't outbidding first time homebuyers to purchase residential properties to rent out at inflated rates.

Iran already knows his bluff. Abbas Aragchi even explicitly mentioned this in an interview, stating that negotiating with the US is a pointless exercise, but it tells the Iranians whether Dump is planning a major strike. So there's def

Non-zionist Jews have been leaving Israel whenever the opportunity rose. This war was just an accelerant for further emigration. The only ones who choose to stay back are folks fresh into Aliyah, who might've received a lot of incentiv

25-33% of the electorate is no small fraction. There's a group of people who have been consistently supportive of this government's policies since 2016. Take any policy survey, and the fraction that supports the right-wing side of

Since when did Germany victimize itself into emerging market category? I would be even more worried by the fact that it resembles Keeta, a delivery brand owned by Meituan, which actually operates in a bunch of large emerging markets.

No, you're right. China, and even India and Russia, also do not have the same talent problem of the West, in that there is an undersupply of engineers, especially in the geological, processing and chemical sectors. In the US, the avera

Well newsflash, the Israeli socialists and left wing have lost all influence for the most part. The only way you can form a government in the Knesset today is by a coalition of parties, most of which lean right-wing to far-right or ultra-Or
