That’s about right......
....”pretty much every single position taken by Christine Lagarde, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, is something I am diametrically opposed to”...
Yep! She’s fully on the Globalist bandwagon and marches to that drumbeat. ...Still good to keep an eye on what she says and does....
Everyone in the world is trying to tell us what to do. Someone’s gravy train is in danger.
That’s right....so many countries have relied on the US for handouts without any conditions. Trumps not buying that sing song any more.....
Remember when the "rebels" overthrew Qadaffi and the first thing these "rebels" did was create a central bank? Because, you know, that's what "rebels" do.
ImF has the Ukraine as a debtor nation now as well. They’ll never be free as a stand alone nation and that was the intention by the ImF that has them neatly under their control.
