I'm amazed that anybody would think that Russian strength is so weak. If NATO is so strong, why don't they just invade Russia and put an end to all the fighting? They can't. Russia is too strong.

Russia just might become the future for all of us.

Zelensky was elected in 2019.

But this was not a feasible solution for many reasons other than calendar. Donbas is not Zelensky's to give - Ukraine is not a kingdom where the king owns the country. He (like other government officials) is constitutionally obligated to protect territorial integrity of Ukraine and to do otherwise would be treason. Also giving in to blackmail never works. You give Donbas to Putin today, he'll want Lviv, Poland, Germany, Portugal, and the state of Oregon next.

Instead of trying to appease murderous dictators we should be grateful to Ukrainians for trying to stop one.

By adopting the same method of analysis, America and the West did not win any war either. The Afghanistan war, the Korean war, and even the invasion of Iraq and the Syrian war, which both sides fought by proxy on Syrian territory.

At least, Russia can be compared to its American counterpart in that neither of them fought a war on their own soil. During World War II Russia was facing German enemy forces on its soil.

The wars you all mentioned were not during the last century, but during the previous century.

Not all of the Russian people support Putin's policy, so you can't describe the Russian people as an evil people. There are Russian people who reject war and reject Putin's policy, so it's a mistake to generalize.
As for the expulsion of Russia from the United Nations, I do not think that this will solve the problem. On the contrary, it may complicate the problem because there will be no place for dialogue. In addition to all that, the United Nations is an empty organization that does not have any influence on powerful countries. It affects poor and weak countries but it cannot have any effect on strong countries.
Perhaps the solution is to sit at the negotiating table and try to find a solution that satisfies both parties without external interventions that further complicate the problem.

There are the rules and regulations in every country about corruption but devils never stop to gain it. And these are the people which are destroying the system. Every government should make the strict rules about corruption. And should punish the culprits.

Money is just everything.  Money can bring you power , with money power can be earned . I don't think it is possible to have power without having money . Money is powerful than can give birth to power and everything.

Money is never enough for human. The richest man in the world is still striving harder to get more money for any one not to get more than what he has.  The truth is that their is no point that one can consider money to be enough.

The quest for money has to do with what people think money is. Is money those little pieces of paper people stick in their wallets? Is money those little coins people stick in their change pockets... and often into parking meters? Or are these mediums of exchange simply the easy way to do value and property transfers?

There isn't a lot one can do with the stuff we call money, except to trade it for things that have value. Can you eat a dollar bill if you are hungry? Perhaps. But is there as much nutritional value in it as there is in a dollar's worth of bread? Money doesn't really have any value in itself. All the value that money has is perceived value. Money doesn't really have more value than the tiny bit you can get from the paper and ink that make it up.

I would suggest that real money is anything of value... real value. I would say that real money is all the things that you use to make your life easier to live... or livable at all in the first place. Why? Because everything we do in life is a medium of exchange. If we eat food, we change the food into aspects of living. And there is part of the food that our bodies naturally discharge as unfit for the purpose of life. In other words, there is exchange involved, and food is the medium.

A person can only live so much. A billionaire can't live in all his homes at the same time. He can't drive all his cars and trucks at the same time. He can't fly in all of his airplanes at the same time. Having/owning multiple homes and vehicles might be an advantage for him in certain situations or circumstances. But they might wind up being excuses for him to actually set up circumstances or situations so that it looks like he has a need for all these homes and vehicles.

Much money is a form of advancement. At least, many people think that it is. So, for them (most of us) basic money is so that we can live - food, clothing, shelter, etc. Anything beyond basic money is so that we can be praised for having more than somebody else, and for being able to manipulate life so that we can advance beyond others. It's a pride and success thing.

The banker said, "That is how it works."

The whole death of Q. Elizabeth has been made into a marketing campaign for this anachronic institution that maintains a number of privileges to a particular family in a country that, otherwise, is democratic. An absolutely disgusting 24h cycle of news showing how "most British"  loved the Queen and how "deeply affected" are about it.

It is really sad to see how even the tax law has been modified so that the Kings and Queens do not have to pay a tax, that BTW is 40% for anyone else above a threshold.

China often imposes a "house arrest" on political dissidents. This is a way to make it appear the person is not being imprisoned, while still restricting their freedoms, and being able to monitor their communications with others (so these people can be "kept in line").

I don't think there is any kind of Coup going on in China right now, as this is not being reported by any reputable news sources. However, if this were happening, I think Xi being under "house arrest" would likely be a first step.

I also know that Xi has a very tight grip on the CCP and the Chinese government. His loyalists are in positions of authority.

I don't know which country you are from, but freelancers in the country where I live will also be taxed if the amount of income can be very large and is known by the local government, as well as youtubers who are now also subject to taxes and other things the same goes for crypto traders who often use local exchanges to trade, they are also taxed here.

I agree about choosing BTC and ETH. But ADA seems not a really good choice for long-term holding. In my own view, ADA price doesn't increase very significantly, the price move of this coin looks rather slow. I think it is better to exclude ADA and choose BNB coin, BNB seems more convincing to buy and hold long term. BNB is the coin from the biggest exchange in the world (Binance) that has many functions, and it also has a burning program. Burning program will decrease the number of BNB supply and increase the value significantly.

Anyone can become an entrepreneur, they don't have to be big financially, they all come from small, which will later grow to be big, that's why there are many processes that occur, so I think even though we are financially supportive, but our expertise in the field we are living, we don't understand, then it won't work. well, all entrepreneurs will prefer where they have mastered everything, so they can do it without having big financial capital.

Working in an office does have a salary, it depends on the place where we work, but what is certain is that the salary of an office will not exceed the income of an entrepreneur because he is the boss and he will get all his income.

Anyone can do it myself. I work in an office that is still running, while entrepreneurship is still in the process stage to show that I can become a successful entrepreneur.

I see the difference there coz I've seen people like these too.
I have seen people who has been actively participating business seminars and other stuff like that and dressed formally. While the other are just selling fruits and vegetables in the market. In comparison, the person who's actually doing business in the market selling fruits and vegetables made a significant and noticeable achievements.
There's a difference between "trying to become successful" than "doing the actual work to become successful".

Wikipedia says that nuclear power generation in France has decreased from 379.5 TWh in 2018 to 290 TWh in 2022, since a number of plants closed down due to maintenance to stress corrosion (32 out of a total of 56 nuclear reactors are not in operation now). Électricité de France (EDF) owns the nuclear power plants in France and manages them, and is 85% owned by the French government. Even then, it is not a fully government owned entity, they can't insist on selling all the electricity that is generated within France.

For sure it has an impact, specially countries that are not prone to flood and suddenly there is a heavy rain so they don't know how to react.

And then the whole farming industries is the first one to get him and then everything will trickle down, prices increases around the world. But there could be solution for government, to import commodities, but it the end if could harm them too. So it's like everything is connected right now, floods destroying crops, businesses stop, houses destroys, people will have to lived in the street, food shortages.

Hello, the community I am a person asking how I can fetch better improvements in the country's economy.

Curious that the title talks about the European real estate market, when the article talks about the UK, which is physically in Europe but has never been characterized by a Europeanist sentiment.

The 50-year mortgage is crazy, we agree, 15 or 20 years at the most is the most financially sound, because as the article explains, you spend the first years paying interest and not amortizing at all. The longer the term of the mortgage, the longer it gets.

But I don't think this is widespread in Europe. I have no news. The maximum is 40 years depending on age and after the 2008 crisis the banks learned their lesson and no longer give you 100% mortgages. So if you sign a mortgage of 200.000€ you have to put down at least 20.000€, depending on the bank and your situation. Some will ask you for €30,000 or €40,000, so you are already starting with equity and even if you amortize little at the beginning, you are adding equity.

If I can believe that there will be a crash, I think it will be due to the general economic situation. If due to inflation people consume less, companies start to have problems and lay off workers, obviously people will have less money or access to credit to buy a house, and some of those who pay mortgages will not be able to meet their payments.

We know that savings arent really just for the means or investment but rather for emergencies and other means or simply people do only just love to have more fiat into their bank accounts that had been saved.

Rich mindset will really be always prefer on making more money via investment and since they are financially capable then they do always have the advantage since they could really make those actions
since they do have money to be spent unlike into those poor ones who doesnt have or limited which it would really be a difference but being poor doesnt mean that it would really be
a hindrance on making yourself improved.Its up on personal choice!
