Reply to comment by ZZAABB1122 in Macron flies to Africa to counter waning French influence by HRJafael

The minimum rate of 0.75% was set in 2012. And interest rates have been below 1 and close to 0 for the better part of the last decade. Either way I have no horse in this debate. CFA monetary policy is a very complex issue, and France is cooperating in trying to reform it. France has offered to hand over the reserves to the member countries, but the members were not able to agree. Fact is many of the African elites profit from the CFA system and they're not keen on letting go of it. It's a fascinating subject worth of PHd like research with a wide range of variables. Sadly to get back to what I was originally lamenting, Shirvan from the Caspian Report failed to research/mention. Instead painting his video using very black and white brushes.

Reply to comment by canadave_nyc in Putin casts war as a battle for Russias survival by R1ckCrypto

It makes sense why the west and Russia fail to see eye to eye on foreign policies when you look at these things. There’s a really good Youtuber, a Russian citizen who interviews folk from all demographics about their opinions on literally anything related to current events. Goes by the name “1420 by Daniil Orain”. Great translations with raw footage.

It really helps grasp why the sentiment is so different.

Reply to comment by stripy1979 in Norway: Thunberg joins Indigenous protests against turbines. The young environmental activist says green energy cannot come at the expense of human rights. A court order has deemed the turbines' location in Norway illegal, as they disrupt Sami reindeer-herding traditions by DoremusJessup

True. So just offer the handful of impacted Sami reindeer herders 1M Euro each to relent. They'll in fact be stampeding over each other to take the deal.

Reply to Ex-husband and relatives charged with murder of Hong Kong model Abby Choi as body parts found by paulfromatlanta

For anyone who’s wondering why they’re boiling her remain in a pot. The reason is because they want to destroy any traces of evidence. The family probably thinks when the body gets 100 degree plus the finger print or DNA can be destroyed. Remember the EX husband’s father used to be a police chief. Their intention was evil but also they want to get away with it.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in Anti-war partisans in Belarus claim to have damaged Russian plane | Belarus by Caratteraccio

I'm sorry if I wasn't clear.

The "...?" was me being puzzled as to why you started talking about Austrian balloons and WW1 when I questioned your claim about "American drones over whelming Iraqi air defenses", during the gulf war

And the reason I followed that with " so anyway...", was due to the condescending nature of your comments and I didn't want to engage you on Austrian fucking balloons and WW1 as it had nothing to do with what I was asking about and frankly, I don't care anymore.

Reply to Steven Seagal given honor by Vladimir Putin for 'humanitarian' work | CNN by alienandro

LMAO it's like Steven Seagal is on a quest to suck at more things than humanly possible..

He's an obese fake martial artist pretender who makes some of the shittiest movies ever to insult the small screen.. He was literally married to 2 women at one point while lying to both, and now he's a pathetic mascot for one of the most terrible human beings on earth.
