Don’t wars start over stuff like this?
From what I understand (limited as it is), the Fed has to tighten upon money to unwind all of the leverage from supporting effectively negative interest rates for years of propping up O-bozo. Now that The Donald has real growth going, the Fed has their opening.

….. YAWN!
Haven’t heard this one for what 2 or 3 days?
And yet China is expanding their navy, taking over and building islands out in the sea, and buying massive shares of Venezuelan crude. What could go wrong?
Not mentioned is China’s significant military budget.
