FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?

The German Foreign Intelligence Service BND assesses that Russia is manipulating its economic data, with a real deficit of 8.01 trillion Rubles (around 90 billion €) instead the claimed 5.65 trillion Rubles (around 62 billion €). This seems right, and it might be even higher than 8%.

"The unusual betting on the Iran strike suggested that even decision makers might have had a stake in the outcome... it’s worse than insider trading..." www.nytimes.com/2026/03/03/u...

I wonder what % of "Epstein class" children are members of the military, you know, putting themselves in harms way. I strongly suspect that number is close to zero. What % of "Epstein class" children will benefit financially from this war? I suspect that this number is close to 100%.

Trump claimed that if Republicans pass the SAVE America Act, they will never lose an election “for 50 years.” The legislation is at the forefront of the GOP's election subversion scheme. And if it becomes law, it could disenfranchise millions of voters in the 2026 midterms.
