@DanielDiMartino This analysis is so bad it’s comical. The UK government would defend the Falkland’s for sure and still has the capability to do so. Argentinas military today is a shadow of what it was in the 1980s when it was able to engage the UK in a peer to peer conflict.
BREAKING: The Netherlands has moved 86 tonnes of its gold stock, worth $12 billion, out of the US, citing Trump's unpredictability over the Iran war and "increasing geopolitical unrest," per Daily Mail.
The move follows senior officials warning that the gold is “no longer safe” in Trump’s hands, which prompted the Netherlands to immediately begin removing its gold from the US.
"[What] made LatAm today’s most unequal region is not what happened in 3 centuries of colonialism, 50 years of early independence or the belle époque commodity boom. [What] mattered is the anti-globalization epoch 1913-70. LatAm [missed] the ubiquitous Great Egalitarian Leveling"
National debt in 2007 was £527bn, a 36% debt to GDP ratio. Today national debt is £3 trillion, a 94% debt to GDP ratio. We’ve added £2.5 trillion in under 20 years. Whatever you call this - madness? - it certainly isn’t “austerity”
BREAKING: Russia is secretly helping Iran develop advanced supersonic cruise missiles capable of directly striking US aircraft carriers and other warships in the Middle East, in one of the most significant known transfers of strategic military technology from Moscow to Tehran, per FT.
Senior Russian engineers have traveled to Iran and Russian manufacturers have worked closely with Iranian developers sharing key design and testing data. The main purpose is to help Iran develop a ramjet propulsion system. The multiyear covert program is codenamed C430L.
This comes as Putin himself directly confirmed today that Russia will help Iran deal with the US naval blockade, saying "we admire the courage of Iranians in this war. We are trying to provide you with the necessary assistance. We have discussed this and will provide you with the necessary goods."

A billionaire once told me: When you feel stuck, go sit in the most expensive hotel in your city.
Order a coffee. It works every time.
Here's what that room does to you:
In 2025, the UK collected £331bn in income tax, and it spent £333bn on welfare.
The state now spends more on those not working than it raises from those who are.
This is an unsustainable mess and it won’t be fixed by adding more and more people who don’t contribute.
The average man is too honest in places where he should be strategic, and too dishonest in places where he should be accountable. He reveals his plans to strangers, but lies to himself about his habits. Power begins when you reverse this. Be private with the world. Be mercilessly honest with yourself.
