Trump Attacks Powell, Calls Him "Loser" as Foreign Investors Dump $750 Billion in US Equities
US Economy is IMPLODING: Economic Collapse Has Begun as Foreign Investors Begin Dumping US Assets
DJ, To decrease US inflation trump wanted the US central bank to decrease interest. Only he does not run the central bank...Foreign investors (a.o. Japan) pull away investments from the US. To finance US spending-more and more on interest over its insane level of debts- the US NEEDS foreign finance...
But the trade war trumpf started did destabilize the global market. The US still is a major player-but the trade wars is further speeding up de-$-ization and lots of countries want a partner they can trust..
The US made deals to break deals...The Obama-Iran deal now again is on the table because trumpf ended it...For UKraine the US comes up with old/insane ideas...The US is NOT seen as a "neutral dealmaker"-in general most of the world blames the US for starting yet again another war...
UKraine followed Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Libya, Yugoslavia, Georgia etc. WHY NATO needs to move east ? Most of the world does see that as a major unwelcome risk...Yet it was the US pushing NATO east since 1991..
"Europe" as always very divided-may be seen as a much smaller risk. At present the EU political fools try to unite Europe with-again- "the Russians are coming"...A lot of European leaders did have parents who supported/had to support hitler...

For Russia (and several other BRICS+ members) World War Two is still living history...with millions of lives lost. A lot of the "west elite" did rewrite their family history...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FSB_Border_Service_of_Russia or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FSB_Border_Service_of_Russia Soviet NKVD/KGB may have a lot of info not welcomed by that west elite...
DJ-hitler did NOT come out of the blue...Time-1938 man-of-the-year had a lot of support from the west...(in part because stalin was not a good alternative...). One can not de-link the rise of hitler and the 1917 Russian revolution...hitler came to power in a reaction to that (German made) revolution...
