And what is the purpose of building more Nuclear Weapons? USA has 3000 warheads which is more than enough to destroy the planet many times over.

Russia has 9000 warheads.

How is a Nuclear Arms race going to stabilize the planet?

Many people said that a Hitler wasn't possible? We are cutting it mighty fine these days with pootin, who has invaded and annexed territories from 2 sovereign States and there are question marks over the motivations of Trump too. Too early to gauge I grant you, but the warning signs are there.

At least in the USA there are multiple checks and balances still, but the leadership in Russia is a hell of a lot more authoritarian. All this uncertainty is going to embolden many rogues.

And for the first time, the USA has given Israel a blanket licence to continue with the illegal Jewish settlements in the West Bank. What effect will that have on the Middle East?

You have been a critic of the USA, but this is the first US Administration which has basically told Israel to continue breaking International Law. No other US President ever did that in my living memory.

The USA has always opposed the settlements and supported a 2 State Solution, until now.

BREXIT is the least of our problems.

The Jews are never happier than when they are at the centre of a good 'Schemozzle', the current situation in the realm of 'Politics' is like an early staging of the 'Grand National' where (at the moment) all the runners are heading for the 'Water Jump'.

Many will fall BUT, you may be sure that the Jews (and Trump) will still be in the running the first time round, it is not a really safe bet and it's certainly not easy to predict a winner although, MY guess is that ultimately the Jews will probably win...by a 'Nose'.., they usually do. 8)

Yep! Zerohedge and Wolfstreet no less. Couldn't be anymore diabolical.

Let's just use Anarchist sources and fear mongerers as credible sources.

There is no point trying to reason with such people Tim.

It also sadly misses the point because this is not what is meant by 'moving into cash' in the context of stock market investment, as any financial expert should know. Somebody else previously tried to explain this, too. Sheesht!

I only look at the links Tim. I saw zerohedge and Wolfstreet.

Both extremely dubious sites with an agenda. I do not open these links nor am I interested in understanding any context.

If I want financial information I look at The Financial Review, Bloomberg or CNBC if I want to know anything about money and what the markets are doing and to gauge sentiment. There are also hundreds of sites that can teach the interested about Finance, Bonds, Banks, how money is made, how stocks rise and fall, and you can also find out about corporations, the good and the bad and the absolute corrupt and scandalous because there is also plenty of that as well.

Zerohedge and Wolfstreet (name says is all) is not where I or any sensible person will get any information from.

Speaking of scandals, Trump is no stranger to scandals, bankruptcy and corporate collapses. He was lucky to survive in the 90s with his Socratic on his arse when the Banks fortunately decided to keep him trading as the brand name of TRUMP was more valuable to them in business than it was to liquidate his dwindled balance sheet. The Banks were effectively running the show and paying trump a wage.

Which is why he won't release his tax returns. His tax returns show accrued losses of Billions, which he has been rolling over for nearly 3 decades because his recent profits are still in deficit to all the accrued losses and hence he hasn't paid a cent in tax for years.

Few people know that Trump even owned an airline which was bankrupted. The Banks kept his casinos and resorts going as a going concern but very nearly shut him down.

His business exploits are interesting and he wouldn't want all the dirt getting out or the fact he pays less tax than a minimum wage worker. That would not be very good for the Office of the POTUS.

Any bets that it will be leaked from inside?

It is fact ..... it is happening in several countries. Even in Cyprus; try walking into your bank and depositing a bundle of €100 notes! The Manager will be called over to grill you, same if you try to withdraw a large amount of cash. In Sweden ..... if you tried to pay for goods with cash .... they call the police.

Live in ignorance you are as big a fool as Paphitis!

BTW: The 'zerohedge' link has the full European Union proposals paper on the subject. :roll:
