Russia signed a treaty to defend Venezuela just two months ago but its crickets this morning from the Kremlin. Utter humiliation and evidence of just how weak it is globally.

Brilliant this in the Wolves v West Ham game 😆 "The chant from the home fans to their visitors is 'We'll see you next year.' "That morphs into 'You're going down with the Wanderers.' "The West Ham fans respond with 'You're going down with the West Ham.' "Applause all round."

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

We took a Minsky-style approach to understanding the refinancing risks across the sector and how they all interact. In other words, we made a TON of T-Charts to show exactly how capital flows. Balance sheets gotta balance!
