  • Amichai Chikli
    Amichai Chikli “The US is not projecting strength under [Biden's] leadership, and it's harming Israel and other countries. He said 'Don't' at the start of the war - to Hezbollah, as well as Iran. We saw the result. If I were an American citizen with the right to vote, I'd vote for Trump and Republicans.” 10 hours ago
  • Nikolay Mitrokhin
    Nikolay Mitrokhin “The return of Crimea is absolutely unrealistic. Before the failure of Ukraine's counteroffensive last summer there was a chance to return the annexed peninsula had Ukrainian forces reached the Azov Sea and started shelling the Crimean bridge and the Kerch Strait that divides the Azov and Black seas. But now it's hardly real to penetrate Russian defence farther than the takeover of the Kinburn peninsula.” 10 hours ago

“Reducing gang violence by replacing it with state violence cannot be a success. The Salvadoran government had adopted disproportionate measures, denying, minimising and concealing human rights violations. Bukele had created a false illusion that he had found the magic formula to solve the very complex problems of violence and criminality in a seemingly simple way. The international community must respond in a robust, articulate and forceful manner, condemning any model of public security that is based on human rights violations.”

“The lack of independence in the court system during the state of exception is a result of the erosion of independent institutions. The process began on May 1 of last year, when members of Bukele's party assumed a supermajority in El Salvador's legislative assembly and immediately moved to remove the attorney general and Supreme Court judges. The Supreme Court has been co-opted completely, and kidnapped by the executive branch. There is no separation of power. It does what the presidential house says.”

“There's a component of it that's sensitive to Bitcoin price but in theory, the difficulty adjustment should allow miners to make money regardless of what the Bitcoin price is. However, if Bitcoin does 'do its thing' and rises to the upside, then the bond's appeal will rise manifold. Those bonds are going to trade on the open market at a much higher rate than six and a half percent. They'll trade at a lower yield at a higher price because the six and a half will be extremely attractive so people will bid up the price of those bonds and the yield conversely will decline.”

“He [Nayib Bukele] made the announcement at a huge party on the beach. Funding for the mammoth undertaking to start in 2022 is to be raised through the sale of a sovereign Bitcoin bond to the tune of $1 billion the hottest investment in the cryptosphere at present. At the moment, there are many 'Bitcoiners' having both the resources and the willingness to invest.”

“Now, four decades after El Mozote and nearly three decades after the official end of the civil war, the latest Salvadoran tyrant - President and Twitter star Nayib Bukele, who has even bizarrely self-identified as the 'world's coolest dictator' - is doing a fine job of ensuring that justice in the country remains ever elusive. In addition to blissfully converting El Salvador into a Bitcoin dystopia, Bukele has pursued various other actions befitting a, well, dictator - like firing five Salvadoran Supreme Court judges as well as the attorney general earlier this year.”

“Invest here and make all the money you want. This is a fully ecological city that works and is energized by a volcano. If you want bitcoin to spread over the world, we should build some Alexandrias.”
