This spambot is really annoying.

Nawa for this bot. Just banning things up and down. Who has time to be typing long things again and again?

Why don't you just use intelligence in either live or preview mode for all users, alert users to potential system violations before posting, instead of an outright ban?

Capaldi:
Amazing IQ assist from Wirtz. I need this gem at Chelsea, push Palmer with his boring style of play to the wings.

Funny enough, there was a big consideration to buy Writz instead of Enzo at the time. They ducked due to wages, then went on to spend 100m on Enzo. I believe Writz was valued at £40m or thereabout at the time.

One of the worst uses of 100m ever.

It's done. What a shame. Now we have to win the last two games.

It's over.

Oh my goodness. That could have been it.

lordfalcao:
Half spaces with the aim to get shooting opportunities

Exactly. He's playing at the left side 8. Not on the left wing.

Cucu contending consistently with fellas twice his size.

Gucciboy:
But you said Enzo is the best coach in the world,what happened?

Guy. Please stop. First of all, I never said that.

Second, I was talking about Enzo F.

lordfalcao:
i am not seeing Enzo at left wing

He was never on the left wing.

Well done Cucu

James in for 5 mins and he's already bullying everyone off the ball.

Ibime:
It's debatable. You can't blame ref for either yellow or red in that circumstance. Jackson should know better, the werey even looked at the defender before jumping in with his forearm out

Looking at the defender was what done him there. If he didn't look at the defender, he gets away with it.

BlewMahn:
Please where the hell is Marc Guiu?

Marc Guiu has been injured.

Well done Neto

Fucking idiot!

He's off!

Jackson, wtf was that?

This is a game for Sancho. Neto and Madueke cannot operate without space.

We badly need an alternative to Enzo walahi.

Newcastle is playing wing backs who are literally standing on Madueke and Neto in defensive play. They recognise the threat in our wing play.

Our wingers are nullified at this moment.

How na?

Isn’t amazing? I have a kid around that age. Imagine excusing a grown adult calling kids that age hateful words. Just so I can score some internet talking points? Lord have mercy.

Just imagine that. Excusing a grown adult for using such hateful words against a child.

Then there's the crowd funding. All the white people supporting her by coming to her financial aid, as though she's the victim. These people are coming out of the closet. These are the people America are putting in power unfortunately.

They got a point.

That freekick.

Why would UK dump the debt, was my question. It doesn't have good returns or to punish Trump?
If it's about bad returns who will buy a massive $800B of debt knowing the dollar will crash any time.
In other words ,you hold America debt. You are stuck with it, you not selling it to noone.
The UK earns around 4.42% yield from the 10 year US Treasury Bonds . That works out to $36B annually.
The UK will just dump this golden goose to spite Trump.

Now you are engaging facts. I don't mind people being on the other side of the debate, as long as you engage facts. Good question, who will buy $800bn worth of bonds if the UK dumps it? Nobody!!! And this is why I said in my response "for argument sake"

I am not advocating for the UK to do this. There would be huge economic repercussions of we were to try. But Dayo is saying that we could if we wanted to. And that's just nonsense talk.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But let's say Trump wants to strong-arm the UK, Japan, and Luxembourg (notice I keep excluding China from this discussion) into a devaluation of the dollar, that is essentially a default. Meaning, sorry your $800bn is now worth less than it was, and your annual $36bn is now worth less than it was.

Apart from what the US will do itself by even going near this topic (yields going up), I don't expect Kier Starmer to sit back and take it. He needs to fight back, and use every tool at his disposal, including threatening to dump it all, even if it means the UK will suffer for it. Because,

1. Eroded trust...... You cannot trust Trump and his cronies (or another Trump in the future) to not want to devalue further.
2. We don't want to end up like Japan after the Plaza accord with a massively devalued Pound, and a lost decade of growth.
3. Why should we accept a default at all?

So yes, threaten to dump it, even if to spite Trump. If you want rational dialogue, then ask nicely, like Regan did at the time.


In the larger debate, there's far more to consider about the consequence of such, and what the likes of Japan and China will do, if the UK were to get the balls to want to dump all. It signifies to everyone that US bonds are now worth phuck all, and that's the end of US borrowing. Do you understand what it means if the US can no longer sell its bonds to anyone?

But you guys think this is inconsequential analysis, and even worse, that 77.3m ** thought this completely through in their support for Trump even before voting. That's abject fallacy!


** Cococandy Correction.

Goal!

raumdeuter:
Adepase you are a peak deluded analyst who thinks your opinion and choices in a country you do not live are superior to those 78m who live in it work there and chose Trump

You are the one with no understanding of what you are posting

Those holding US dollar debt are not forced to do it and can decide to hold any currency they want. Some BRICS nation are already debating going for a different currency beside the Dollar and no one is begging them to do otherwise

The level of self delusion to think your country runs its economic policy to favor America and not its citizens is ludacris

You are the one who keeps coming back with the 78m talk. You want to inject a huge number to the discourse to bolster your position. If 78m voted, surely they are all not dumb. This is your pattern of thinking. A huge percentage of those 78m are conservatives. Mostly conservatives vote on ideology, not on facts. So yes, 78m people could be largely wrong on many issues. But I digress, as that's not the centre of this debate.


My problem was with you. You particularly. You casually said any country can choose leave the dollar as reserve currency. You said that with the lack of knowledge that the strength of the dollar is underpinned by the number of countries that buy US bonds. This is the same currency you hold a huge portfolio in. A few weeks ago, you were spelling PROSPERITY in caps. But it is now apparent, that you don't understanding what makes this prosperity even possible.

You called countries that sustain US borrowing, which in turn keeps your internal interest rates steady "inconsequential" ..... but you invest in property. This means you don't understand that if (for argument sake), the UK, Luxembourg and Japan were to dump all their US dollar debts (as you proposed), your interest rates are immediately affected, which immediately bumps up the cost of credit in the US, which immediately affects you.

So the question is, is the UK really inconsequential as you claimed... or are you just regurgitating the nonsense you heard at the Trump rallies? Did you know that the actions of the so-called inconsequential can have a direct impact on inflation and interest rates in the US? No you didn't. Because if you did, you will shut your MAGA brain down and engage FACTS!


On the other hand, if my country were to be forced by the US into a situation where they had to dump US debt, that affects me personally as a business man. So you have little understanding of what your talk about, when you tell me that I have no interests in following and commenting passionately about the issues.

I haven't even mentioned the effects on Oil, Gas, or geo-political concerns.


The summary of this is that only an uninformed voter will come to the conclusion that some countries are inconsequential to the US, when said countries are directly responsible for the strength of the dollar that builds your wealth. Only an uninformed voter.
