Head of strategy at Slovak central bank looking at things dispassionately. Ex-Reuters corro with personal opinions/re.tweets not being an endorsement

[ian bremmer @ianbremmer]

i thought hunter biden’s corruption was unacceptable and said so at the time.

nothing remotely like what we see from trump today and republicans should not stand for it

[ian bremmer @ianbremmer]

davos wasn’t about trump’s speech.
it was about allies concluding they can’t rely on the united states anymore.

that’s not anti-american.
it’s strategic reality.

The ECB and other European and international central banks stand in full solidarity with the Federal Reserve System and its Chair Jerome H. Powell.

The independence of central banks is in the interest of the people we serve.

There's nothing quite so terrified as a politician staring at an independent Central Bank. It's a limit to their whims.
​To erode that independence is to lie to future to pay for present. It's corruption born of fear. We need to stop mistaking political survival for governance.

It's decided.

Europe is closing the tap on Russian fossil fuels once and for all.

Perhaps question is better rephrased — Why do you keep suggesting that you would seek to remain in office for a third term despite the Constitution’s clear ban? Why are you misleading your supporters and the American public that this is a possibility?

Včera sme boli doma (5-poschodový rodinný dom v centre San Francisca, 360-stupňový výhľad z vyhliadkovej veže na najvyššom poschodí) u 30-ročného chalana, ktorý v jednom momente povedal vetu (len trochu skrátené) "Sam Altman mi povedal, nech nerobím žiadnu prezentáciu a idem rovno za Larry Pagom, ten mi dal nejaké otázky a dostali sme 100 miliónov dolárov".
Dávam to sem ako praktickú radu pre ľudí, ktorí sa neustále len na niečo sťažujú namiesto toho, aby sa skrátka viac snažili.

Podporujeme cestu Ukrajiny k dlouhodobému míru. Svým konstruktivním přístupem jasně ukázala, že je na něj připravena. Jakákoli mírová dohoda ale musí být dohodou, ve které nedojde ke zpochybnění mezinárodního práva a které lze věřit. Česko k takov�� dohodě bude i ve vlastním zájmu přispívat. I proto stále podporujeme členství Ukrajiny v EU a NATO a připravujeme se na její poválečnou rekonstrukci, kde už teď například v oblasti zdravotnictví hrajeme důležitou roli. Vítejte v Praze, pane prezidente. @ZelenskyyUa

Pred Starou tržnicou je od dnes vystavená sanitka, ktorú v novembri 2024 odviezli zo Slovenska a odovzdali ukrajinským vojačkám. Krátko na to sa stala terčom ruského útoku, pri ktorom zahynuli aj ľudia v sanitke.

Repeat after me: The VAT is not a tariff. The VAT is not a tariff. It levels the playing field by making sure that domestic and foreign firms face the same tax when selling on the domestic market.

The world's democracies must stand with @ZelenskyyUA and the brave people of Ukraine.

But we must do more than talk. We must act. Ukraine needs European security guarantees—now.
