Don’t like cryptocurrencies, don’t like CBDC, huh? You may be a westerner

Trump on the road to capitulation
Rostislav Ishchenko
First, comments by Larchmonter

China’s mediation in Cambodia-Thailand conflict

🇺🇸😱 Earlier this year, Donald Trump openly threatened 100% tariffs on BRICS nations —… Continue reading
