Just give Ukraine a little more time, bro! They will take a few hamlets in Belgorod that they can trade to push Russia back to 1991 borders!

Rumor is that US Hedge Funds are already asking the federal government to prepare for a bailout. The last time that the US government bailed out hedge funds was when they bailed out basis trades. Basically, hedge funds are getting reliable profits from tiny differences between Treasuries and derivatives, but this is only profitable as long as the government bails you out when you would be taking a loss. Last time a government bailout of this sector happened was 2019/2020. Imagine playing in a casino and when you lose, the government covers that, but you are free to walk away with any winnings.

MILEI BROKE A WORLD RECORD: We (Argentina) are the country with the largest industrial decline on the planet.

A report by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO in Latin America and the Caribbean) indicates that Argentina, with a 9.4% decline, was the country that suffered the largest industrial decline in the world in 2024, the first year of Javier Milei's administration.

I was checking Wikipedia's page on Ukranian political parties, and for some parties they added this "Oligarch association" to them.

Pro-Western sources have criticised Ukraine’s lack of political reform or action against corruption, and the influence of Ukrainian oligarchs on domestic and regional politics, particularly their links to Russia.

Oligarchs were usually defined as businessmen with direct influence on both politics and the economy. During the 1990s, oligarchs emerged in Ukraine as politically-connected nouveau riche whose wealth came through ties to the corrupt — but democratically elected — government of Ukraine in its transition to a market economy. Later, numerous Ukrainian business people took control of a political party. The Party of Greens of Ukraine, Labour Ukraine and Social Democratic Party of Ukraine (united) are examples of this, while other oligarchs started new parties to gain seats and influence in the Verkhovna Rada (Ukrainian parliament).

Various Western nations have raised national security concerns over the oligarchic kleptocracy since the early 2000s but these gained greater salience after the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine raised the national security implications of a great deal of money—sourced from Ukraine or Russia but spent in the West—finding its way into matters of national security.

The oligarchs' influence on the Ukrainian government was extreme. In 2011 some analysts and Ukrainian politicians believed that some Ukrainian businesses tycoons with "lucrative relations" with Russia were deliberately hindering Ukraine's European Union integration.

Zelensky's Servant of the People has no "Oligarch association" tag, even though the page says Ukrainian oligarch Ihor Kolomoyskyi supported the party.
