I was reading today about Russia planning to send troops to Venezuela ahead of dt's designs to tap into their oil, perhaps?

Then I read about Armenia and Azerbaijan fighting over territory for many years now, but now because of the war in Ukraine depleting Russian resources, Russia is no longer supporting Armenia as an ally to keep Azerbaijan at bay... so, now Armenia is looking to ally itself with Ukraine, and that will of course infuriate Russia...

And in other news, we should look for cuts to SS benefits sooner than later because of the treasury bond market demanding higher yields because of higher risk and interest rates, and because the GOP keeps driving the deficits up higher with their tax cuts for the rich. And then there is all this AI business and cryptocurrency and on and on and on it goes.....

Who is to say that these keepers of the money system don't just decide to print money for their own pockets????? And the rest of us are just the 'none-joke-getters'?
