They dont need to be MAGA to get tired of war. At the 3yrs mark and the war at like a stalemate with no side gaining significantly only killing more people

How many more years of it can most EU countries take
Those Russia neighbours, Poland, and Baltic and Scandinavian States are peppering even more. In Europe, if it pain somebody wella, Germany and France don't just bully them to accept. Germany can give up their wellbeing for any small country, that's what they've been doing for those Soviet countries for 25 years to bring them up to standard. The money Germany pays into the union yearly is in the tens of billions to help out those people Soviet Union impoverished

Gains are slow that is why we have just 20%, Drones are targeting human and other infrastructure, the fight has been largely on "Ukraine soil" and what do you think another 3yrs of this type of attrition war will bring

The best case is for both of them to calm down, not achieve their pre war goals, Ukraine cannot go to pre 2014 borders and Russia cannot take the whole of Ukraine too

Russia has shown he can pull troops from friendly nations that have human being to throw away in wars, Ukraine does not have that luxury, Western Europe and US are not willing to put troops on ground. They are all easy going and fun loving people they are not for warfare.
If this war drags on. It might just tilt in Russian direction and the war weariness will get in

February 2021, 3yrs ago I was seeing many Ukrainian flags all over, every city every big tower you see Ukrainian flags and almost unanimous support, Now many people think of their immediate problems and dont send Ukraine, Soon people in Western Europe will start going that way when they have to send money, ammunition and men to Ukraine. By the tme they show British kids dying in war, Your MPs will hear am

All Americans of all sides of the political divide have reduced their support for a long drawn out war and prefer a quick end to the war. Even if it means losing territories to Russia. I wonder how much longer Western Europe have to hold out
Trust me, we don't have a maga party anti Ukraine here to sway things. Public opinion may seek a compromise, everyone gets tired of war eventually but the ones in support of Russia are very tiny minority, usually immigrants

Still arguing with himself grin grin grin
Foreign AffairsRe: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by Ibime(m):
Nigga demented and arguing with himself in his own head

You would think Valerie Zaluzhny is pro-Russian and not even as anti-Russian as Zelensky or even worse, and led the fightback against Russia

A sane mind would have seen that that invalidates his central argument that Ukrainian leadership is a plant and not the will of the people

It doesn't matter to democracies who is leader as long as their wishes are respected. Whether Zelensky, Klitschko, Zaluzhny or someone else, they all speak with the same voice on the matter. Nigga would think he's discovered gold while deluding himself. Zaluzhny is loved by the Ukrainian people, including most of the same people who love Zelensky. They are soldiers of the same struggle.

A neo-communist lover of authoritarianism and idol worshipper with no political grounding can never understand that, that's why they have seething hatred of opponents of their idol even within his own party. That's why they think we care about Biden, Boris Johnson, Rishi Sunak or whoever as they do to their God. Centrists are not idol worshippers, they only care about systems and shared values. Soldier come, soldier go, barracks remain.

China is already aligning with Russia on this war. Russia was even able to pull some men from North Korea to join their frontier. How many Western European nations that are used to soft life want to go on battle fronts? Some EU cities are already protesting that they are not going to join Ukraine war

Ukraine is now forcing young men to join in wars, a problem which Russian aligned nations dont have. China, NKorea, Iran Russia their men dont have that choice to opt out unlike Western Europeans

With the current momentum, Russia will capture more. In the past 3yrs with NATO and US full support, Ukraine has lost 20% of its territories, Now imagine with less

Dont worry when they start asking for enlistment from UK, thats when you and Buda will remember that Tinubu is your president and your anthem is "Nigeria we hail thee"
On the contrary, Russia already captured most of Ukraine to the gates of Kiev within the first 2 weeks with surprise attack. They simply withdrew to what they hold now and have not made great progress percentage wise for the last 3 years. Ukraine has made more km2 progress after the first month of the war than Russia has. Also Russia already held 10% before the war either themselves or via rebels

This is a drone war. Na drone dey kill man, and progress is slow. No be Panza dash across open fields. Russian soldiers at present are moving with horses in some instance. Don't think Russia is winning bigly because that's what Maga world wants you to think. Gains are excruciatingly slow. You fit use one month capture one small village. This is man against drone.

Ukraine can only collapse if US withdraw intelligence, Starlink and air-defence of its vital industries. Ukraine is already the foremost country in the Western world in small drone production.

2-3% mortgage rates will not happen IMO is we see lower 4% sef make we thank God. Na covid bring those 2% rates and will never happen. I have a friend who was able to get 1.5% in Jan 2021 peak covid
2008 crash saw feds drop rate to 0-0.25%. It can happen again easily with market crash. I saw 2% rate in 2011.

It can and will happen again, infact the wealthy class have come to rely on it. It's the only reason why we have people like Musk and Zuckerberg today who are products of zero interest rate environment. These are guys wey suppose worth $20-30 bln if not for QE and cheap credit. Who want hammer now need low interest rate and Trump, (especially Eric Trump wey dey run the parole) want hammer.

In this war, Both sides will have to take some Ls and find way to leave with their dignity still intact

The was has been going on for 3yrs, 1m people dead with NATO and US throwing a lot of resources into it

Do you want to do another 3yrs and lose another 1m plus men?

Both sides need a soft landing where they can go home and claim some moral victory

Russia being a nuclear power will not be defeated militarily without it resorting to his nuclear option which is essentially WW3
It's not about defeat. Russia is also exhausted of manpower, logistics and have been under strict Capital controls for too long with crazy interest rates.

At this point a wise leader will play the game so Russia takes Crimea, and even Donetsk and Luhansk but give back their part of Zaporizhia and Kherson while holding back their $300bln for Ukraine reparations. They will also bring in China to apply pressure from the other side.

Putin can sell that to his people since his stated aim was taking Donetsk, Luhansk and "denazification" which means regime change. He can spin denazification however he likes and come out with his head held high.

What Trump is doing is setting them up to take all 4 regions by weakening Ukraine, not pay any reparations and resume normal trading relationships with the West. That is unconscionable to Europeans and the message has been that they will not resume normal relationship with Russia under those circumstances, nor will they return the seized money. So it is up to Trump now as to whether he is willing to sanction European countries for holding Russian money, let's see how much he loves Russia. This matter done serious pass wetin you imagine.

I am not seeing any profit at 7%, even my 5.9% are just barely breaking even without considering repairs and maintenance but I have some 3-4% which are keeping me afloat. Plus some airbnb which is yielding beyond the normal rentals

The 7% I am running them at a loss the goal was always to get them at a low sales price high interest and then refi later to a lower interest rate

Wait you mean we might see 2--3% interest rate OR we might see 2-3% shave on current rate?
We might see 2-3% mortgage rates and 0-1% Fed rate

Trump is well known for ignoring Fed advice on overheating economy and insisting on 0% interest rate. He is pushing Powell for it, but Powell is resisting for now until water pass garri. He has done the same to Powell in 2018 before, forcing him into low interest rates when Powell was trying to apply the brakes.

I have properties on >7% rates, Last week I was just told rates has hit 6.5% I am waiting to see if it reaches 5.5 so I can refi.

I am all for whatever Trump is cooking
You might still see 2-3% from what Trump is cooking. At that point, you will just flip them for the profit cos price go shoot up

I surprise say you dey see profit at 7%, you guys yield must be crazy over there. You can't see profit above 5-6% at most in UK

Which NATO? The countries with 15,000 soldiers or the ones that are more concerned with dancing than actual military work?

Without US, lets see NATO tackle any of Russia or China. Not even combined
Poland and those countries near Russia is enough manpower we need. Allow us to chop life.

Lookup Victoria Nuland . That's all you need to know about Maidan Revolution.
Presence of foreign actors is not proof against the will of a people. There are foreign actors in every internal conflict.

That's like saying Americans didn't want independence from Britain because of the help they got from France, or Biafrans didn't want independence because France was helping them. The proof is in the pudding. If they had no will, they would have collapsed during the invasion in weeks.

Foreign AffairsRe: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by Ibime(m):
My thesis (and it's only a thesis) is that Trump wants to engineer a small crash to bring down interest rates

Serves the purpose of achieving lower rates on USA $9 trillion debt due for refinancing later this year. At current yields circa 4.5%, thats $400bln in interest payments alone which could be cut in half by lowering interest rates, but requires a crash to do so

It also suits he and his cronies personal agenda of gaming the markets (shorting and longing on insider info) everytime he makes unpredictable trade policy statements which they have been doing wotoporiously on Crypto which is beyond SEC oversight. In addition, there is little upside for them buying assets at these prices, a pullback will suit them fine. They have used crypto manipulations to raise capital (which should be approaching $1bln gained by now) and it's time to invest for generational gains at a good entry.

if my hunch is correct, which is only a thesis, a good strategy would be to keep powder dry and buy assets as soon as we get firmer messaging on deep interest rates cuts, or as soon as there is a black swan event, as cuts will surely follow. Keeping powder dry means your money on exchanges in dollar form. Every asset will go up from there. Tech sector for stocks and Crypto (Solana in particular) will have the biggest Delta from any crash. If you are in property, buy and lock away your interest rate for a long time. The game is to be sold, not told.
