>Population means nothing. You want India to have a larger percentage just because they have a lot of people? Russia just because they have a lot of land? Never said land or people. I was talking about GDP. Germany has higher GDP than Japan. India and UK both > 3%. France almost 3. So if Japan has 20% why doesn't Germany. And by that metric, India UK and France should have 15 each. So we're already at 85% then. We didn't even look at Italy, Brasil, Canada, Russia, Mexico, Australia, South Korea and Spain who have each more than 1.5% What I'm saying is that if you remove 26.11% of the global economy (US), you cannot just x4 other countries. It would be more like x1.35.
IMO, if the consumer understands crypto/stablecoins at a basic level, they will appreciate the move, which as mentioned before me, is a lot lower than you think.

These are just ways to excuse having the parade on Trump's birthday. The UK just had a much better parade for the King's birthday, zero tanks or machines. Marines could have a great parade if they wanted. The Navy that's stationed in US bases could also easily manage 1 day with no disruption to world trade.
Yeah. We’ve got some similarly minded idiots here as well in the form “Reform UK”.
ChatGPT literally estimated 20 hits on high end range of interceptions, and given Iran fired them in sequential waves it makes sense April 2024 Iran Attack Example: In the unprecedented April 13, 2024 Iranian missile and drone attack on Israel: Iran launched more than 300 projectiles (including ballistic and cruise missiles, and drones). Israel, with help from the U.S., UK, and Jordan, intercepted around 99% of the inbound threats. Of over 100 ballistic missiles, only a few reached Israeli territory, most were shot down by Arrow systems. Conservative Estimate: If 200 ballistic missiles were fired in a large-scale coordinated attack without foreign assistance, a realistic interception rate would likely be: 70–90%, depending on: How many missiles came at once (saturation tactics reduce defense effectiveness). Quality of Iranian missiles (older Shahab vs. newer Kheibar or Emad types). Whether Israeli defenses were fully deployed and coordinated. Estimated Interception Outcome: Low-end scenario (70%): ~140 missiles intercepted, 60 get through. High-end scenario (90%): ~180 intercepted, 20 get through. Let me know if you want a breakdown by missile type or systems used.

Iran to ChatGPT: How do I win a war with the US, France, and the UK? ChatGPT: **Mexican laugh emoji**
Yeah, it matters. He has no power to dictate how UK citizens run their government.
Which key ally? Canada? The UK? Japan?
Israeli attack on Iran isn't surprising, it's Iran's retaliation that is. The current agreed upon consensus is that Iran will just hold it in and attack non-important target with drones to appease their people and stall till Oct when the UN sanctions are set to expire. Once sanction lifts, their funds get unfrozen and they're back to trading like a regular country. US can't force other countries to comply with US' own sanctions against Iran when majority of the countries including EU(Minus France) are anti what's happening in Middle East. US will have to reapply for UN sanctions that will 100% be rejected, then at least stalled because Russia will be holding presidency of UN Security Council in Oct, then 3 Russia & China allied countries(Sierra Leone, Slovenia, Somalia) gets the monthly presidency seat until start of February 2027 when UK takes over for the month.
The military industrial complex doesn’t function like that. It doesn’t stop. The EU can build up their capacity to produce defense and supporting technology and then you get other countries buying it. Every time a country like Australia or Canada places a large order, there will be added profit. Every time a large collaboration project like [that undertaken by Japan, England, and Italy](https://asia.nikkei.com/Editor-s-Picks/Interview/Japan-s-next-gen-fighter-progressing-on-time-Italy-UK-defense-execs)…There will be profit. When Russia expands its front, when Europe increases its support of Ukraine, this sector will continue to increase. It’s not static, it’s growing. There is so much yet to be priced in.
That's because the UK gave away all of their colonies and is now just a pathetic shell of what it once was. It's like a girl who used to be a 10/10 at age 18, but now she's 50 and fat and a 3/10. Of course you're not going to be arrogant if that's what your life has come to.
Google died in 2020 when they tried to control the narrative with their leftwing biased algorithms that favoured the woke leftwing masses. The first deathstroke for Google involved a mass migration of conservatives across the globe to DUCK DUCK GO and other less woke search engines. Also, Google search doesn't deliver the search results as desired without first tinkering and only posting leftwing articles. For instance a simple search for "Donald Trump 250th army parade" can give absurd Google results like "Obama travels to UK to celebrate..." or "Protests in L.A for a 7th straight..." or whatever the woke people who run Google search have deemed good enough for the 'googler'. Sometimes you might get slapped with the infamous, "the results are changing too fast..." which is a simple way of the Google woke mobs telling you to füçƙ õff in not so many words.

What is Iran going to do about it? They cant even effectively strike back at Israel nevermind US or UK. They start trying to attack US bases or ships in the ME their regime will no longer exist for long.
That's never going to happen. They are fully aware that involving the US in this war would inevitably lead to the collapse of their regime, which would come even more quickly if UK and France were to join.
Iran wants to spout rhetoric, but pragmatically speaking it has zero desire of dragging the US/UK or any other European partners directly into the fray. And while Iran claims to hold a handful of US bases at risk, the US holds that entire country by the balls. We simply out-stick them. A single SSGN can empty its cells and lob 140+ TLAMs into the country and there's absolutely nothing Iran can do to stop it. That's to say nothing of the carrier strike group sitting in the region... Add in a second carrier strike group and the US could cyclically strike Iran 24/7 without relent and still be able to reload and gas up at sea. Nobody wants that smoke.

The US must get its fiscal house in order, but that's quite a claim that you can't count on the USD anymore. So what currency are you counting on? Gold could drop like a rock tomorrow with a new news cycle. The public debt to GDP ratio in the US is about 97%. Not good and must slowly come down over time. The Treasury markets might push Congress/Presidents to do this even if they have no political will to do so. This happened in the UK just a few short years ago with Liz Truss. But if you look at US public debt as a percentage of total US assets, we're actually relatively low compared to historical values. So we're not on the verge of collapse here, but must move in the direction of better fiscal policy no doubt.

I think there are actually a few decent actively managed funds, but the problem that I have with "futuristic" funds is that they are often too indiscriminate or just not very good or the volatility is not worth the returns. I mean, take ARKK for example. ARKK did very well in 2020/21 because it was a broader "disruptive growth" bubble and that fund was in the very right investment place at the very right investment time. When 2022 happened, she stuck with "2020's greatest hits" all the way down. She missed the AI theme, selling NVDA near the bottom before it took off. She missed the obesity drug theme. Eventually, the Ark funds took a collective $22 billion dollars in realized losses. All the stuff she thought was "the future" in 2020 eventually lead to enormous realized losses, including 1.5B on TDOC. At least one ARK holding I can recall was a 0. In the UK, Scottish Mortgage (despite the name, a very aggressive public/private growth fund) took giant losses on Moderna (at one point its top holding) and held battery co Northvolt into bankruptcy. That fund is still well under 2021 highs. In terms of mutual funds, Nancy Zevenbergen's most aggressive fund (ZVGNX) is still off 2021 highs too, but closer than the other two. I'll say that that is probably the most aggressive growth mutual fund around and she's a better investor than Cathie is (and that fund's portfolio is better quality than ARKK's) but people go to stuff like this when the market is going up every day, then the moment that turns and the market stops going up every day they don't want to hold a fund like this. This fund is up 74% in the last 5 years, ARKK is just about back to flat. Too many things that are entirely speculative/early stage crater when the market turns like in 2021/22 and then when it comes back it's revealed that a lot of what they owned isn't great but "might have been exciting at the time in a bubble" (see ARKK.) I also have yet to see an aggressive growth mutual fund that has the ability to dial back even slightly. Look at a ZVGNX and you have a massive gain in 2020, craters in 2021/22, bounces back considerably in 2023/24 and yet... over a 5 year period if you had invested in the SPY you'd have done better with far less volatility. If you invested in Walmart you'd have done better over the last 5 years than "disruptive growth" ARKK. To me, the best option would be a more standard growth fund that would be able to make selective investments in more speculative/early stage growth - and that's really kind of how I invest. I don't know that I''ve found that with a fund.
Hypothetically and practically you would have a greater chance of making money by betting on the UK going to shit. Russia is the worlds 4th largest economy by GDP PPP, has the ~third largest gold reserve, the ruble has strengthened by 20% this year, making it the worlds best-performing currency and no one outside of NATO states and a few other nations is joining in on any economic embargoes. The vast majority of Russia's budget is sourced from internal tax revenue, rather than tariffs or export duties on oil, gas and minerals. Politically, China will never let Russia collapse, as it is a buffer zone and resource basket for Beijing. As an investor, you could have researched all of this in 10 minutes.
All currencies are "FIAT", which translates as trust. It is thus the trust in a currency which makes it valuable. With Trump, Thiel and Musk at the helm can anyone really trust any news and data? I don't think so. This is reflected in the US rating by the 3 rating agencies (downgrade), the bond market and the US $ exchange rate. It was called the "mighty" dollar because the issuer was mighty. The US are no longer mighty: rich? Yes armed? Yes but no more soft power, too many enemies and loosing the technological leadership. 2 Danish cities just got rid of Microsoft, the same will happen to Google, Amazon/AWS, Uber, Apple. US tech companies will be seen as trojan horses and presenting the highest security risks. Boeing will loose marketshare abroad and US carmakers will loose to Chinese and European companies. Look at the UK now after the loss of its empire and Brexit: the £ was at 1.40+ yo the € in 2010, it now oscillates around 1.12.
I like Interactive Brokers. It's a professional-grade tool, though the interface might be confusing for new investors. IBKR has commission-free stock trades in the US; not sure about the UK.
It was the fuckers who threw a coup on a democratically elected leader and then gave weapons and support to a bunch of terrorists to a bunch of radicals so they could take over someone else's land and rule it with an iron fist so, the UK and the USA

Israel / UK / US couldn’t stop the Houthi’s from targeting ships in the Bab-el-mandeb.
Huh? At first glance this shows both Japan and UK dropping holdings ytd.
They can’t shut down the strait - Israel just wiped all their AA systems (again) and they are down a bunch of senior commanders. Them trying would probably be resolved in a week by US/UK/Israeli air forces /navies.
The UK and German news anchor are ecstatic about this strike! They think it's the best thing that could happen. Iran is in such a bad spot and Israel had even 3d models of all their infrastructure to completely disable their military. Once in a century opportunity to push for a regime change there. Anyway, puts at open.
I’m from the UK. But yeah, they do like their litigation over there lol
That's nothing compared to what trump voters think about other first world countries. They genuinely believe (and say so) that Canada and Europe and Australia and The UK are all hellscapes where women are afraid to go outside because there's Muslim gangs everywhere. When you show them footage of women in other first world countries going outside and enjoying the nightlife, they insist it be fake AI footage.
Forgotten in the fog of culture war is that during the Assange leaks it was revealed that Israel had direct access to the NSA firehose, something not even allies like the UK and Canada had. I'm sure their rapid advances in military and surveillance tech in the last 15 years or so are pure coincidence.
why did the UK put israel in the middle of muslims settlements in 1947? It’s as if they knew it would cause tension and escalate to another war.
No wonder USA have been pulling out staff from various Arab countries, no soft revenge targets. Looks like US is joining Israel on this one. They will getting no help from other countries UK, Europe, Canada etc.

My UK-based company is currently working out how to compete with Chinese competitors dumping products at even lower prices than usual, while simultaneously getting it's first ever inquiries from American business customers, who will be paying far higher prices for our imports than they ever did before from Chinese importa
idk why this is downvoted, they own like 3% of all bonds. They used to be the biggest foreign holder, but foreign holders only hold 30%. And now they aren't the biggest, Japan is, and not even the 2nd which is the UK. Since 2015 they downsized, since 2018 faster.
Depends on who is saying it and where they are from. Here in the UK we have a stocks and shares ISA which is completely free of tax and we can add £20k every tax year from outside the ISA to invest.
Nah. But we're even dumber to be on Israel's. And the least we could do is acknowledge that we (and the UK) are the ones that fucked over Iran by throwing a coup on their democratically elected leader in order to try to get cheap oil.
Lad, Russia has threatened to nuke the US and the UK on numerous occasions within the past few years.
My girl got there first sorry, and the UK the equality act 2010 has done some very heavy lifting for me
if the US and the UK didn't remove their democratically elected leader to try to get cheap oil their women would still be wearing whatever the fuck they wanted
I agree with your take on this. And it seems like we have seen this movie before. I guess it all depends on the next 3-4 days. We know a big counter attack will be launched against Israel. Last time there wasn’t much damage. The UK and US both helped shoot down many missiles and drones. Will there be escalation to include oil exports? Will the US get sucked in? But we could come out with Iran’s nuclear capabilities destroyed and not much else affected. And in that case the market will not suffer greatly.
The entire point of this operation is to double oil prices to create hyperinflation to devalue debt. Long bonds not selling is historically the trigger. Do your DD. Oil is going to 120 like Jamie Dimon said.

An America is Israel’s lapdog. Crazy how much they’ve penetrated US politics. Same with the UK.
Israel starts this shit and no doubt the UK, USA and France will shoot down Iranian missiles when they’re fired in response, like the cucks we are
>You don't need me to tell you this is a problem unless they get it under control either via austerity, inflating away the debt, defaulting on the debt or growing so rapidly that it makes the debt level manageable again. There is actually another solution: raising taxes. If the US raised taxes to UK levels there would be a budget surplus with enough money to pay for Social Security and Medicare in perpetuity. I'm not saying that we should or will do that. I'm just saying that the math works out.
Japan sold because their yen is in a very bad spot and has been for awhile. UK actually increased US treasury holdings by 29B recently
Yeah, as a UK investor I dialled my USD exposure right back in Feb, when it became clear DT was serious about his devaluation mission. It means Reddit is basically unusable for stocks because it's all Americans investing domestically so currency risk doesn't matter to them. But for us foreigners, US equities look pretty unattractive even if they are nominally going up.
Boiz, the situation seems similar to UK after WWI: yields were at 5-6%, debt to GDP was ~130%. This is a fucking carbon copy of what’s happening now with US.
The US military has plans to invade everything. They're a planning agency, that's what they do. This has been the case since just after WW2. We didn't just make up the Afghanistan invasion, or the Iraq invasion. They had a series of war plans that had been created and updated annually since forever ago. I am 100% certain we have plans to invade Canada, Mexico, Venezuela, Haiti, Taiwan and everyone else you could think of. They most likely have plans to invade our allies, like France. France almost certainly has their own plans to defend against invasion from the UK, Germany and the US. It may not be likely, but if a President comes to the Pentagon and asks for a plan, they're going to get it almost immediately.
> where several countries (like the UK) have made commitments to phase out the sale of ICEs within the next decade and shift to EVs. saying they'll do it and actually doing it are completely different things. just look at the track record that various countries have for hitting their emissions targets, or going to fully renewable energy. (or america's track record on switching to the metric system). when push comes to shove, the electrical infrastructure to support what these states/countries are mandating isn't there, so they're going to ultimately be forced to push them back decades.
Probably the UK. If not it’ll be very similar here.
From 75, 90, 200 done. The truth only 1 trade deal was done with UK. Who can trust this corrupted insider trading administration?
It's not just China selling US treasuries. I think Japan, Canada and the UK are also selling. Japan alone has over 1T.
I cashed out all US stocks 6 years ago and closed all my US accounts and opened EU and UK ones.
Holy reflexive partisan, Batman! I need you to put on your reading cap and give what I said another go-over. The point wasn't blaming anyone, the point is that the UK's fiscal crisis was exacerbated by one party. Contrast that to America's, which has been almost equally caused by both parties. I'm not *not* blaming Democrats. I'm saying the party that *runs* on fiscal responsibility, calls the other side tax-and-spenders, and constantly holds the debt ceiling hostage won't have credibility in suddenly demanding austerity; there will be a political price to pay that the UK Tories did not have to pay.
I'd say planes crashing on their own leads to change but we had a ton of people die in the US and nothing happened about it either. And the whistleblowers. I hope the UK loves the planes we forced on them bwahahahhaha
I think I am up from liberation day but I am down like 50% since November still. I am big into Bitcoin miners and despite BTC being near ATH, miners have not fully recovered. I am also from the UK and the dollar weakening and the pound strengthening has also hurt me a lot.

Yellen has no choice in the matter. Congress spent money, she just manages the debt terms. She can't set rate, she can only sell bonds to cover deficit. It's an auction and the world isn't buying them because Trump is an asshole. This is what happens when you don't honor commitments. The debt we accumulate goes to auction, the yield rises until you find buyers - if no one buys, the Fed Reserve prints money to buy them at a rate they want to see (eg if the rate would go to 7% and they want 5% the Central bank eats the Governments ass to shave 2% off with a straight print into government spending, inflation ensues). The short term rates during the pandemic were artificially dropped by JPowell. That drop floods money into buying in stocks, meaning Janets bond yields go up and interest payments get worse. Trumps actions in his first term also reduced foreign trade (killing nafta and all that), and therefore foreign buyers of bonds don't show up so much at auction - yields rise again. Now we are doing it again, this time speed run. Janet's response was to push out more short term bonds at these higher rates, because the long bonds are locking us into higher debt bills for longer,. It's what you would expect, make the pain short, in the hopes that you can turn it around to lower rates in the future and then drop the long bonds. The Don idiot will not get lower rates, he's doing everything to alienate the world and as such forcing the debt to be higher rates and/or dollar devaluation and if import dependent buying continues it will be inflationary, if domestic, the cost to build that manufacturing/farming/whatever will also be inflationary. If you go it alone, without the world buying our debt (Don's plan it seems), then you MUST balance your budget or suffer immediate currency declines. UK did this with Liz Truss and the effect on the market was immediate - because they (UK) are not selling bonds to the world as a reserve currency like the USA is/was able to. I have my issues with Janet (FDIC cover for SVB) but the policy she pursued with bond auctions is textbook normal. You do your best to keep the deficit limited to the current problem, the belief the pandemic is a blip you must solve for today, and get the long bonds out the door at lower rates in the future.
And austerity isn’t an option in the US. Look at the UK; the Tories were able to implement austerity because they successfully blamed Labour for the deficit and the changes didn’t affect their voters all that much, Bush put two wars on a credit card and Trump is on his second unfunded tax cut, so the argument that Democrats are the drunken spenders won’t play. And there’s not enough money in the budget you can cut to get serious savings without shredding Medicare or Social Security: the GOP’s beloved elderly voters. The hot potato will continue to pass until it blows up on someone’s watch
Homie on UK radio saying pilot error, stalled cos not going fast enough
He died. Vijay Rupani. Was going to see his daughter in UK.
Today at 13:45pm IST Air India (AI171) \[Ahmedabad-London Gatwick\] (Boeing 787 Dreamliner) crashed 1 minute after take-off into a Medical college in Ahmedabad City. All passengers and crew have died in the crash. The flight has onboard 169 Indians, 53 UK Citizens, 1 Canadian Citizen, 7 Portuguese Citizens, along with 12 crew members. Preliminary reports suggest Pilot has declared a MayDay, just 30 seconds before the crash, giving no time for ATC to respond. The flight crashed onto a hostel mess, killing 55+ Students of Byramjee Jeejeebhoy Medical College, Ahmedabad City. This is latest info i got on this,
you are correct, edited. i saw 170 fatalities on one source, but as yet unconfirmed. highly likely but unconfirmed that all on board perished. massive fire, plane was loaded with fuel for a long haul flight from India to the UK.
Pretty much every trade deal that had been ‘completed’ has had or resulted in a large sale of Boeing announced with it and even said to be contingent on it. UK, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, all made new orders. Chinas trade pause was contingent on them removing their ban on the max olane.

Vassals like the UK or Japan (their central banks, pension funds, etc.)? Those don't necessarily count as sane (or sovereign), though.
Sounds like they are more UK based? Probably why I never flew with them.
Broader market also jittery. UK economy shrank and biggest drop on record for exports to US.
Theres just been an airplane tragedy on flight from India to UK, over 200+ casualties
No. Once he is done with the Romania cases he will be deported to UK for for a half dozen cases, after that he will be deported to the US for cases there. He voluntarily turned himself into a hoe being passed around the world.
Yeah… subject to approval… like the UK deal…. Curious what Xi says.
Can’t trade ETFs on Robinhood in the UK so gay
UK economy down and exports down, and they are pumping US futes now
UK being run over by migrants, Canada being run over by Indians, USA being run over by mexicans and immigrants but to a lesser degree than the former. It might be time to move away from these countries in the next decade or so. I'm thinking of moving to southeast Asia in the future. I'm a kid of an immigrant also but it's getting ridiculous now. Shame on those governments for selling out their countries to those globalists
Why are they flooding immigrants into all of the countries that were great decades ago like Canada, UK, USA
Immigration will be the #1 issue in politics for the UK, Australia, Canada, and the United States for the next decade. Yup
Today was Day 65 since “90 Deals in 90 Days” and unless I’m miscounting it’s currently “1 kinda/sorta deal with the UK and this unholy mess with China”. Clowns.
Some of the leading universities in regards to Ai are outside of the US. Singapore, China and you guessed it Australia. Not to mention the top universities in the UK. Just because the USA is big in regards to Ai companies doesn't mean that the US has a monopoly on stellar education in that field
What deals are even in writing at this point? UK? That's 1
What are the sides for WW3? Iran, Russia, Belarus, ??? vs Israel, USA, UK, & friends?
The UK one was a Framework, and the most recent one was a Framework as well. The US still has a 55% tariff on China at this point, so we are back at the Handshake agreement in Switzerland.
Bullshit, more theatrics. In fact it is just a framework for a deal, there is no deal, not with China, not with the UK, not with Canada, nor with the 87 other countries needed to have “90 deals in 90 days”. Don the Con is just that.
Probably just gonna slowly build up my investment in Rolls Royce. Might get dunked on but I’m fairly bullish on the UK market right now.
I can assure you: put on those in the UK.
Oh shit UK handing over Gibraltar access to Spain they’ll have to show their passports just to travel to another part of their country lol
The US embassy in Baghdad is being "partially evacuated" and the UK issued a travel warning to ships in the Persian Gulf, Strait of Oman, and Strait of Hormuz. Certainly sounds like strikes are incoming.
