The most ignorant response ever.

Musk already over hypes the range of his EV's by double. He wants access to the Russian market as well as to buy aluminum from Rusal (a major low cost producer) so he is about making money.

Trump is campaigning for office and like anyone campaigning wants to capture all the voting factions he can. He always leaves an out for himself with campaign rhetoric. Only idiots believe everything he says won't be moved. He did back Mike Johnson.

Assange is a whole different can of worms. His first releases were to out a biz friend OUT OF CONTEXT regarding Daffy Duck (Qaddafi) and embarrass the GOP. My Dutch friend died a few years ago. It also helped cause me to lose a shitton of profit in relocation of a refinery to Libya from Yabucoa, PR which was about to be demolished. So Assange can phuck the phuck off in my book. While Wikileaks may have truth in it, it's half truths and that has been Russia's Modus Operandi since the time of the Tsars. It's all about making people distrust government enough to create chaos.

I'm sure that the Russian economy is booming with the interest rate from its central bank at 16%. That is public knowledge. Everyone is bitching about the Fed being at 5.5% here and how it makes funding projects too expensive.

So anyone who thinks that Russia is doing well economically is clueless as phuck. It's wrecked like a mofo.

I've always been interested in the WikiLeaks thing. Could you provide some examples of the half truths stuff? Sorry to go off topic

Not saying this is the case, but higher rates in a cheaper economy in terms of raw dollars can be better than lower rates when shite is super expensive.

Kind of the inverse of this is like a high earner getting a 3.5% "cost of living' raise can actually be a significant amount of money, whereas its barely any money on a smaller paycheck.

I guess thats a lot of texts to say inflation %'s require more context that just comparing the numbers side by side

Assange is an anarchist... he wants to destroy Western civilization and governments, which makes him useful to Putin, who wants to destroy Democracy and International law.

but no more off-topic asides.

you sound just like the far-left "tankies (neo-Communists)" I argue with all the time.

That doesn't give you pause?

I guess that you know more than investment bankers and businesses, with the business experience of signing the backs of paychecks, never the front.

Any business which doesn't include cost of money will not likely survive. Major company operating expenses are with borrowed money, even EXXON. Heck oil fields are developed with borrowed money, usually with SEC compliant securities for each development project.

Assange's only agenda is to watch everything crash down and burn.

An Anarchist people selectively, willfully misunderstood for a Leftist then a Right Libertarian when it suited them.

Huge protests in Georgia against the new "foreign agents" law that the Russian-backed government put in place.

The foreign agent law is designed to handicap Langley.

We're doing our best to push back.

Those are both Ukrainian Telegram channels, that’s why I made a point of sharing posts from them.
