I believe the only concern the EU has, is that it is not big enough, they wish for trillions $ for the climate, not a mere $369 billions...

sarc?

doesn't look like you even know what is "real GDP", so let's do a quickie Real GDP: inflation adjusted GDP inflation data are fake (current methodologies do not represent anything of what happens to the cost of life in real life) Hence my doubts ...

"real GDP" obtained using fake inflation data... but China is the only one manipulating numbers (and Russia... and anyone US don't like...) I was just re-reading some stuff about the Roman inflation to freshen up... nothing really ever change

yeah but not from me, from someone on the board of the SNB (or any CB for that matter!)

should have added a /s for clarity

a 50 bps rate hike on a –75 rate, results is –125 isn't it??

perhaps you should as well; while Hiroshima on the 6th may have some lvl of justification that way, this is much much less clear cut for Nagasaki on the 9th... remember what happens the 8th august 45?

ho that one! I thought they meant something more recent; with all the news going back and forth, one way and then the other, it's sometimes difficult to keep up and the 8 words tweet lack a wee bit of context

si vis pacem, para bellum

the victor writes history and this assume Putin loses... not a done deal yet in my view

so Nuland lied before the committee?

that's beyond the point, the point is there is a civil war on going in Ukraine, which was all I was saying in my first post, or are you still gonna argue this is wrong?

glad to learn there is no armed conflict between the pro-russian Ukrainian separatists and the pro-western Ukrainian government forces in the Donbas, I guess my source got it wrong.

1) I haven't mention Yanukovych, so I don't get your point, care to elaborate? 2) I telling you Ukraine has a civil war, so it is not that it "was close to a civil war" as you said, it has one ongoing since 2014.

ha, you meant the civil unrest supported by political parties like Svoboda? when you mentioned the civil war, I thought you actually meant the civil war... how silly of me
