….The geopolitical reality is that Russia cannot continue the war given its military limits, the state of the economy and the emerging opposition to Putin. At the same time, the relationship between Europe (specifically, NATO) and the U.S. has deteriorated to a point where a new geopolitical system must emerge. Russia’s becoming, to whatever degree, a part of the European system would give Europe access to Russian natural resources and would give Russia access to European capital. What is clear is that Putin has little choice but to seek an end to the war on the best terms he can get, which necessarily involves Europe…..

Savo: jokes apart: if you have no EU source income, and spend less than 6 months a year in the EU, what is the problem you fear?
Within the EU itself.. there is tax competition, competition in attracting HNWIs, and competition in offering privacy. |

| SPAL: the purpose of free electronic transfers is precisely to gather data. It is a deliberate policy to induce people to prefer electronic cash to paper cash. Governments have no interest in slowing the speed of circulation of money but rather the opposite. The hidden tax on money.. is called INFLATION. |

| Yeah - let's see if it is sustained. But any amount is frictional. They also use the information. I do as well. There are tradeoffs. But I am certain that banks and credit card companies are the ones pushing for a cashless economy. I guess we can also say we collectively save labor. Again there are tradeoffs. |

Carib, his privacy is over, "comes with the job" as he would say.
He has the money to continue with his life after W/H.
Me refer to those that arrive to public service with $100K in the bank, me ok with additional controls as long as the trap works on them, AI will check all contracts, bank/crypto movements, and yes, also cash. |

PS: I remember when I was in Brasil and unable to open a local bank account, I paid a new car in cash (that I got from my "doleiro"). the car shop owner did not show any surprise...
The issue was not crime or tax evasion, but just bureaucratic red tape and a non fully convertible currency.. |

Savo: cash payments above a certain amount have already been "illegal" in several european countries for many years. In practice, cash transfers between consenting adults have continued to happen, and have no consequences unless it's a "sting operation". But depositing large amounts of cash into bank accounts require proof of origin. How many times in your life did you make a cash payment for large amounts which were not germane to tax evasion by one of the parties? I guess very few, so life goes on unchanged for 99% of people.
Cryptos offer an alternative, if stored in "cold wallets" and cashed in offshore centres that do not track.
The USA remain an active "launderette", BTW. |

Starting July 2027 cash payments above €10,000 are illegal across all 27 EU member states.
Every transaction above €3,000 requires ID. Splitting payments to avoid the cap is also illegal. Crypto is government verified. The digital euro pilot starts the same year. Fully traceable. Issued and monitored by the central bank.
They say it is about money laundering. It is always about control.

bloodthirsty NetanDracula delighted at this opportunity to bomb schools, nursing homes, hospitals and civilian infrastructure... and in the process assassinate a few government officials and a few thousand civilians.
Let's see what the old fool says. |

Israel has submitted to the US a plan for new strikes on Iran lasting one to two weeks with possible extension ... including the assassination of IRGC Commander-in-Chief Ahmad Vahidi ... and other senior IRGC commanders, per a source from the Israeli Ministry of Defense. This was also part of the substance in today's urgent Netanyahu-Trump call.
No surprises here. |

the merry round started again... buy futures... DT says unacceptable.. oil up... in a few days.. take profit and sell futures... DT says deal close... take profit...and so on so forth...
how many time have they done the round trip already and made a few hundred millions in the process?
Meanwhile the usual DoJ farce to make people believe in the US there are laws.
