These people are corrupt as hell, and they play a different game. They play a much tougher game of hardball. And...

President Putin also said it was hard to implement a ceasefire when the Ukrainian army was on the offensive.

Central bank digital currencies are feverishly being developed all over the globe, and this is something that should deeply alarm all of us. For a moment, I would like for you to imagine a world where the government instantly knows whenever you buy or sell something.
