We are now at the point where the russian Central Bank, of all state bodies, announces if the russian refineries will have maintenance or not! 🤣 In addition to being hilarious, it shows how deep cracks are running!

Trump has tried a novel, daring and never before attempted strategy to foreign policy - wishing stuff into existence. "I hear the sound of victory! I hear the sound of victory!" 😆
With just over 50% votes counted, Peter Magyar is projected to win a supermajority! Dismal result for Orban. Keeping fingers crossed 🤞
John Galt 🇧🇬🇪🇺🇺🇦@johngalt8.bsky.social · 4mo agoBy 17:00 the Hungarian parliamentary elections turnout already broke the historic record for the post communist period. Until 19:00 they'll most likely push to over 80% turnout which is really impressive. I wish we could do that in Bulgaria next week... 🥲

Ahahaha, American 3D chess at its finest. 😃 The two blockades will cancel each other the strait will open. I am willing to bet money that by the end of next week, Trump will either remove the blockade or somehow make it ineffective when crude oil goes to $120....He has zero economic pain tolerance.
And somehow we just witnessed the Mother of all TACOs (MOAT). 🙀 Everyone expected that Trump will chicken out somehow, but what he did amounts to nothing short of an outright surrendering. 😬 I am sure that the Americans believe that they can somehow fix the situation during..

The American president cannot put 2 coherent sentences together in his native language. WTF people?! 😂
The US reportedly waited to strike the bridge in Iran a second time until rescue workers and others in the area gathered to help the wounded, which then killed at least eight people. Authorities in Iran are describing it as an act of terrorism.
Bloomberg: SpaceX Is Said to Target More Than $2 Trillion Valuation in IPO Ahahahahahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦♂️ Elmo is delusional! We have a saying in Bulgaria about setting the price of something: "I don't know if it costs as much, but that's how much I need"
Due to Trump's 4D Chess strategy, Iranian oil is now trading at a premium to both Brent and WTI. 😬 But apparently that's all fine because Bessent said that they'll bomb the banks and the Iranians won't be able to use the money.. And not a single journalist dared to ask: "Dude, are you f-ing stupid"🤣

He wants to turn Iran into a failed states similar to Syria. www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/4/...

Spoiler alert - US ground invasion of Iran is coming very soon 😬
This is exactly the reason why settling crude oil, and trade in general, in national currencies is a complete bullshit. Sounds good, doesn't work! 😃 The only currency that can realistically substitute the dollar in trade between BRICKS countries is the Chinese Yuan. However, the Chinese themselves..
ChrisO_wiki@chriso-wiki.bsky.social · 5mo ago1/ India is ripping off Russia to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars over oil shipments, according to an angry Russian commentary. India will not pay for Russian oil in anything other than Indian rupees and Indian-made goods, which Russian companies don't want. ⬇️
Maybe someone with experience in the field of psychology can help me here, but after asking for help, begging for help, saying that help is in fact not needed... Trumpf is again at the stage of THREATENING Europe with military action and annexing Greenland. How is this mental condition called?
Btw, many people don't understand what does that mean and how bad it is. The USA has $39trln of debt outstanding. If the whole stock gets rolled at the currently prevailing market level of roughly 4.4% that's $1.71 trln in int payments annually. The annual Federal revenues are just $5.2 trln.
At the moment there's a $14 spread between Brent Crude and WTI.... By far the biggest in history. I don't know who in the US is trying to manipulate the oil market and to what end... but that never works! It will come to bite you on the butt sooner rather than later. 😂
Imagine that, based on survey of 6000 CEOs AI had no impact on productivity. 😂 But I'm sure it had a very real impact on headcount. The gap between AI hype and AI adoption is genuinely hilarious. finance.yahoo.com/news/thousan...
Thousands of CEOs just admitted AI had no impact on employment or productivity—and it has economists resurrecting a paradox from 40 years ago
In the 1980s, economist Robert Solow made an observation that reminded economists of today’s AI boom: “You can see the computer age everywhere but in the productivity statistics.”

Trump's net approval rating during his 2nd term is now statistically significantly trending lower than during his 1st term, which is a small miracle considering that he was already the least liked president in history 😂. The speed of decline is also remarkable.
Probably the most ironic thing this week was Gulf states finding out that bribing their way to Trump DOES NOT equal to having an actual influence and the orange blop will absolutely fuck them over as a collateral damage with 0 regard for their interests 🤣 www.middleeasteye.net/news/foundin...

Russia will absolutely hate the multi-polar world when it finally realizes that unlike the Soviet Union it won't be one of the poles.
What's stopping you from playing basketball at NBA level? Same thing that’s stopping me from casually stealing the Mona Lisa... What’s stopping North Korea from winning Eurovision? What’s stopping my grandma from speedrunning Call of Duty? What’s stopping a toddler from flying an Airbus A380?
