It was a big mistake to implement VAT on breadbasket items, especially with the highest inflation we have seen in the last 40 years. Hopefully it will be reversed.
Yes Russia has democratic elections. Putin is very popular in Russia contrary to Biden in the USA or Bojo in the UK,
Crimea was part of Russia and is populated by Russians who want to be part of Russia. This is why there were no casualties during the return of Crimea into Russia.
As for Afghanistan the Soviet Union was asked to assist in fighting the US backed Taliban by the government in place. Sorry but that is not an invasion. Also as a reminder the USA called the Taliban freedom fighters at the time and armed them with Stinger missiles. Now think just for a minute what would have happened if Russia had supplied the Taliban with similar weapons after the US invasion of Afghanistan.
"Putin’s main demand is Ukraine should not become a member of NATO. But he knows the West cannot agree to rule this out since it is a matter for Ukraine itself as a sovereign country to determine."
Errrr no it is for NATO to decide. If it was up to Ukraine they would already by part of NATO.
And sorry but the people who compare Putin to Hitler know nothing about Hitler and Putin. Also Russia is a democracy and they don't rig the elections and invade countries based on lies like the USA.
Biden wants the world to switch to renewable energy in a too short period of time. He is forcing energy companies to end oil exploration. Experts are saying there is no way to predict how high the price of oil will go. Estimates range between $100 to $500 for a barrel of oil. Many countries like the Bahamas will suffer greatly from this Biden induced inflation that will last more than a year.
Let's be clear. It is not in the interest of the Bahamas and the environment to allow cruise lines to operate their own islands and beaches in this country. They should come here on our terms, not theirs.
That's a big red flag. And it's not like there is no money flowing around with the real estate boom. Another big red flag are the US$ bonds trading at 11% yield. Ten year US treasury bonds trade at less than 2% yield. It looks like we have come to the end of the road as to how much the government can borrow. Davis must immediately implement a program of cost reduction and increase tax collection compliance.
