Hopefully not anything similar to how they were there for Israel with Iran.
I mean, Pakistan has a highly capable military, and as you know, they also have nuclear missiles.
I wouldn't wish to be anywhere near either of them should they choose to get into any sort of war or nuclear exchange.
But I'm sure Trump knows best. I mean, what could possibly go wrong...?

Unfortunately its a tad more complex.
But printing more money doesn't make a society richer.
Mainly because money itself isn't really wealth.
It's a tool to trade for actual goods and services.
A necessary evil if we ever wish to get anything done...
100% Andy totally know where you're coming from. Can't bear the stuff it drives everyone mad, starts wars, shackles us to 'employment' and serfdom. It really is "A necessary evil if we ever wish to get anything done."
Going back to the last millenium I was genuinely a Commie. Tried even living like one. Fantastic ideals and it could be a better world without money in it. Then it dawned on me................... In this world you can't really do anything without it

And by the time you have gone and collected these newly printed '100 million dollar notes' from the bank, they are of even less value, faster than new notes can be printed, and faster than you can pick them up?
Hyperinflation - Wikipedia
See where you're coming from. I have no idea how it works with this inflation. I guess you need to get rid of inflation completely. Just have a set price for everything and nothing ever changes. On the Kibbutzes they called it 'Funny Money' and just like bus ticket tokens. Seemed to work well. A ticket for a pint of milk, a ticket for a packet of Time cigs, a ticket for a post card. If the ticket always states 1 on it, problem solved. At least that's how it works I guess. Total elimination of inflation

Well, this deal seems to be not a patch on Obama’s Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.
Which he constantly derided.
What an utter Clown.

There’s one big difference between these deals that makes this one a massive win.
Trump made this deal.
Other than that, it looks like a worse deal.
Not even a fan of Obama, he was a horrible president who I always voted against… but objectively the deal now is worse.

From a lawyers point of view, and stop me if I am using legalese, it's a steaming pile of Wombat's doos.
If I was an American, I would be embarrassed.
This War has been a complete and utter disaster.

Good or bad I just hope this stupid war is over.
The US is going to spend $1T this year servicing interest. That’s the same as our military budget.
Interest payments are going to be our largest expenditure soon, and people still want to spend money on things that only make American life more expensive. It’s absolute madness.

He bankrupted quite a few of his businesses, including a Casino, so he'll maybe do the same to the US?
