    These Were The Largest Sovereign Debt Defaults In Modern History

    by Tyler Durden
    Saturday, Aug 17, 2024 – 04:35 AM
    In July, Ukraine avoided defaulting on $20 billion in loans by reaching a preliminary agreement with private creditors.

    Given the financial burden of war, the country suspended interest payments on international debt over the last two years, which was set to expire on August 1, 2024.

    Without this new debt restructuring, this default would have ranked among the 10 largest in recent history. The last time Ukraine defaulted on its debt was in 2015, after Russia’s invasion of Crimea.

      “…the recorded history of the planet started when Iran announced it would retaliate for the assassinations of Haniyeh in Tehran.

    Because they are the adult manifestation of petulant 3 year olds.
    Here’s another:

      “…the
      recorded history of the planet started when Ritter and Tulsi announced they would publicly protest the assault on their Freedom of Speech after having discovered but not been aware that gambling goes on in casinos.”

    Child-like psychological development

      Herr Hitler, the petty Bohemian corporal with the same psycho-sexual neuroses we see in Kiev’s cross-dressing, coke-sniffing Zelensky

    Corporal Hitler vis a vis Corporal JD Vance vis a vis HM3 Kevin Amick.
    They got to start some place.
    “Not everybody is perfect or nothing will ever be accomplished.”

    “So leave Fiji [Tim Walz] alone terrorist!!”
    ……movie “Sicario”

    “War on journalists”
    Where was Ritter in 1999 when the U.S. bombed to smithereens Chines journalists inside the Chinese embassy to a certain eastern European country?
    Yugoslav journalists targeted for annihilation a few months late?
    Aljazeera journalists targeted and murdered almost daily?
    Who’s that guy from Australia recently released from British incarceration? Oh yeah Assange!!!
    Gonzalo Lira??? Whose murder was blamed on our collective paralysis by D but not on Ritter the guy who took a shit, piss and rather unfortunate victory lap on the grave of a guy D says we shoulder collective guilt????
    But Ritter’s observation about himself and one other dude can be generalized to the entire United States becoz Hitler, Nazis and the Battle Bulge?

    What the hell with all the splooging going on as several authors coordinated their WW2 references as descriptions of what? Ukraine’s and Zelensky’s massive incompetence, stupidity and overall failure to become as experienced as again Ritter, LtCol Gabbard, maybe Dave Tam, definitely Hmc Kev Amick, Lieutenant Corporal JD Vance or every high school teacher’s wet dream Command Sergeant Major Timmeh Walz

    Watch: I’ll highlight the 3 things Ritter wants y’all to think is important and courtesy of a single run on sentence from the Journalist.

      highlighted former US Marine intelligence officer Scott Ritter. Such was the former UN chief weapons inspector‘s analysis on Sputnik’s The Critical Hour program Thursday, where Ritter discussed the latest desperate maneuver of the failing Western proxy war. “A NATO-created, trained, equipped and directed force of not just Ukrainians, but Polish, French, Americans [and] British has invaded Russia,” said the American dissident

      Ritter….from what was once a lifeless mass [Somerset SCI] I present to you “…a cultured, sophisticated Man about town.”

      But the bullet’s mysteries go deeper than meets the eye. According to ballistics experts, the bullet discovered this morning on the stretcher at Parkland Memorial Hospital is in fact the same “magic bullet” allegedly fired from the Texas School Book Depository on November 22, 1963. That bullet repeatedly penetrated and re-penetrated President John F. Kennedy and Texas Governor John Connally, made yet another right angle turn and flew to Parkland Memorial Hospital, landed on a stretcher, was found by persons unknown and taken to the National Archives as Warren Commission Exhibit 399, where it rested until July 13, 2024
      The mysterious July 13 Trump shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania grew slightly less mysterious this morning, as the FBI announced that it has finally located the bullet that struck former President Donald Trump’s right ear. As it turns out, there was a very good reason why the bullet could not be found at the Butler Farm Show location where the shooting took place: It was accidentally removed by medical personnel, and somehow found its way to a stretcher at Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas, Texas, where it was discovered by a person or persons unknown

    Anyone thinking different is delusional and immature.

    Half-a-loaf politicians are the best you can hope for.

    Grab them while you can.

    You are willing to enable a genocider in order to support someone who wants to improve US healthcare? The lives of the darkies are worth it if you get your vengence on the bad healthcare people? How big and mature of you; don’t forget to thank the genocide victims for their service to your healthcare as you take responsibility for your decision. Or will you do the usual democracy shite; claiming that the genocide is not your fault, you didn’t vote for the gencide, you just wanted better healthcare?

    The first thing governments do, is create a smuggling industry.

    Smugglers provide a service that tries to equalize prices between an artifically government created high price area and a normal price area.

    Governments do not like competition!

    Biden’s admin (not retarded figurehead Biden himself) couldn’t get the Ruskies to nuke Ukraine, so the USA is going to nuke Russia instead by blowing up a power station with dirty nuclear weapons. Sounds plausible, losers tend to do stupid things as the levels of desperation heighten.

    Trump is such a bullshitter. We all know he is bankrolled by the Jews, so what can he do, bring Major General Qasem Soleimani back to life, reverse his murder of an Iranian general? And how will his rabid Zionist funders view that little project? Trump has Jew arms up his arse, he is a puppet as much as the rest of them, he is as rabid as the genociders killing women and children in Gaza.

    Come on man ]figure of speech[

    Don’t tell me you’re buying into the Dr D nonsense about “enemy of good is perfection”.

    We, they don’t even try to find, keep and promote the very best and the most talented.
    And we’re about to buy into Leadership by the constantly lit, high and visibly intoxicated again with Kamala when the slurred lip Obama was the first.

    “The only way for Israel’s genocide of the Palestinians to be halted is for the U.S. to end all weapons shipments to Israel. And the only way this will take place is if enough Americans make clear they have no intention of supporting any presidential ticket or any political party that fuels this genocide.”

    I can see from your legacy of Duh’merica posts (which I enjoy) that you know that the USA cannot be fixed. Nobody is going to make things better. For example, Trump comes in, sticks it to the Chinese with tarrifs and suddenly inflation is through the roof and blah blah … tarrifs being an internal tax on people who would buy foreign products, but what is the alternative, buying iphones for 4000 USD a piece? Same for all the other candidates’ policies, there is nothing there to fix anything, just kick that can down the road.

    If the candidate could really save America but his price was 100,000 Palestinian lives, then you have got some sort of arrangement you can consider. As it stands, they all want the Palestinian lives but are controlled by Israel first.

    I would abstain on the basis that I am not willing to kill 100,000 Palestinians just to polish the ego of some politician who will not do anything for me once elected. As I have agency, I sould use it to abstain the vote.

    To fix America you would need a candidate who could unite both halves of the country. At the moment the country has two groups who support different visions for the future of their country, two groups who cannot stand each other and think the other group is insane. None of the candidates can fix that, they all stink on the unity front, so there are no good candidates.

    Given the state of the US, you would need a real leader to make a difference and there are no real leaders in America, not among the oligarchs, such as Trump, Musk, Bezos, Gates, Zuckaberg etc etc, and not among the military, such as that man who dresses as a woman, the big black guys, Milley or any of the others. America will wander around leaderless until it crashes.

    Amen to that. In fact, a lot of the US government corruption could be halted in the same way.

    China had Mao who grabbed China by the balls and dragged it into a new era. Mao was not a unity candidate, he started a civil war and as a result millions died. Anything other than a unity candidate will result in the gradual decline of the country or a civil war with many grudges settled, as happened in China.

    China came good in the end, but it took many generations and they still live with the repercusions, the division of their country, with the losing team still hiding out in Taiwan under the protection of the USA, a legacy from the cold war.

    The USA would be lucky to stagnate like Japan has, but America does not have the unity, the common culture, etc etc to be so disciplined in decline. The USA could never do a Japan, it would be beyond the abilities of the people in the USA. The USA would just crash with neighbours preying on each other.

    Anyway, the progressives want a communist USA while the conservatives want the old traditional USA back. The only unity is that they are all equally greedy, so they all suck up to the rich Jews. Maybe a Jew would be a unity candidate? Netanyahu? He could genocide all the people who do not want to unite.

    Yup, we all better give up now and stop trying. That’s of course the moral and sensible decision.

    “And we’re about to buy into Leadership by the constantly lit, high and visibly intoxicated again with Kamala”

    Are we? She’s so popular she has to create AI crowds that are then caught. We can guess no one was voted in since 2000 with Gore and the 1st voting machines. So reflect again upon democracy and who we’ve been “Choosing”?

    The answer of course is, while they corrupted government long ago, shot our presidents and removed our generals long ago, famously rigged Chicago elections long ago, and now own not only every institution, but some new ones they built like DHS, merged to the CIA, NSA, etc, that with them doing $1T every 100 days AND $40T on the side, all used on Colleges, News, Media influence, that we must nevertheless come together in perfect harmony we never had to begin with. …Or else we should all give up and stop trying, the logical, sophisticated view.

    Do I have this right?

    Or do we do this: The federals go broke and the States fend for themselves in a sudden drop to re-localize. Without free money and centralization, Facebook can’t get paid and their influence collapses with their credibility as the news atomizes into citizen journalists. With no Daddy to give them free candy, the people sure are mad! …At Daddy. ….And have no choice but to help each other or die, because nobody else will.

    Newsflash: we never voted for Gore, Obama, Clinton, Biden, or heck, Trump, in the first place. We never voted for DiBlasio or Newsom or McConnell. We have no idea what “Democracy” would choose because we haven’t had it in 25, or 65 years, since Nixon-Kennedy was the dirtiest election ’til then, only years after we threw Debbs in jail for running.

    So again, as asked, what’s your solution? What’s your master plan?

    ” what’s your solution? What’s your master plan?”

    I tried to call the “leaders”, “Operators”, even the “influencers”, but none of them wanted to take my call and listen to “my solution”.
