What do you think their interests are? Mostly their job is to buy all the stocks. If Twitter goes down, you think someone is going to say "oh no, you shouldn't have bought all the stocks"? Well, probably, because people will

How about looking at the longer term performance of both currencies in terms of Swiss Francs, on xe.com. It looks to me quite clearly the opposite of your view. That doesn't tell us what precisely you are mistaken about, and clearly ma

Literally in this same thread people are referencing a well-known case of sabotage on an American ship not that long ago. Said to have caused severe damage. On a Russian ship, though, it's as absurd an idea as space aliens? I don'

What stood out to me about this article, which I saw several days ago, is how it names but then basically says nothing about his partner, nor a single quote. They live on board with him and "played a key role", that seems to be it

If a tactical nuke is used, then it is proof that escalation to nuclear weapons does not imply the global nuclear holocaust that has been acting as a deterrent. It eliminates the logic of not going to war. Not that "logic" has a
