If you ask a russian there is a good chance they will tell you Russia is “defending” one thing or another in Ukraine.
Or that russia is in fact defending itself from an attack from “the west” atm.
It’s all bullshit, but propaganda will do its thing.
Nothing (russian) stopping NK from trying to “defend” some shit in SK as well.
Off course they will then find out that Putins word is not worth the dickhole it came out of, but that’s another story.
Russia and entering treaties that neither party intends to honor…
A high-profile British judge who resigned from Hong Kong’s highest court last week has warned the city is “slowly becoming a totalitarian state”
Slowly becoming my ass…
HK is already totalitarian af.
I mean wouldn’t you also much rather be bribed than blackmailed?

Well the stock rising does generate money for Trump no matter if anyone shortsells it.
If you shortsell, you position yourself against the stock.
If it rises Trump wins and you lose.
If it falls Trump loses and you win.
But neither way is it you shorting the stock that makes Trump win.
He wins if the company represented by the stock actually grows in value and the stock price rises or if idiots buy his stocks and make the price go up.
But I predict that after a brief rush on the stock by his gullible idiots in the beginning noone will want to buy his stock anymore.
That’s why I would consider shorting it, because I predict the stock to keep falling.
This I predict because I think the company that is represented by the stock is shit and basically worthless, which the stockprice should represent in due time.
A shortseller thus wants to profit off of Trumps losses.
Also, I don’t quite remember what happens if shorting fails, but it benefits the stock, doesn’t it?
First things first, I don’t really know how to actually shortsell stuff. My portfolio is super basic and my original comment was only half serious.
But I think you have the causality the wrong way around.
It’s less that the stock profits if my short fails.
It’s more that my short fails (in that I lose money) if the price of the stock goes up.
A single small shortsale can’t really affect the stock price in a meaningful way, but if it could it would generally lower the stocks price since it is a signal that the market (which the shortseller is a part of) has no trust in the stock.
That said I am by no means a trading expert myself and could possibly miss some effects on the market.
I only invest long term in broadly spread ETFs (think MSCI World and similar).
Maybe I am misunderstanding you, but I also would never think of actually investing in anything Trump.
Shortselling is betting that the stock value falls without actually holding the stock.
That stock is the first time that I actually considered shortselling anything.
I am by no means am expert.
I just went of this:
The halberd is still the ceremonial weapon of the Swiss Guard in the Vatican.
And I am pretty sure that in German they call the weapon of the Swiss Guard Hellebarde.
You will be happy to hear they still use halberds instead.
I am willing to bet that you are simply more used to the imperial system.
I am not convinced that it has any objective advantage over the metric system.
My foot is about 50% larger than my SO’s, but I can perfectly invision 30cm whenever I want or need to.
Have they even left yet?
Has anyone else claimed to have done it?
I mean he defrauded rich people.
Off course he gets the book.
Ah danke, habs geändert.
As a non native speaker the honest question, why?
Well to a degree.
He certainly didn’t want Sweden and Norway to join NATO and I doubt he wanted a multi year long war in Ukraine.
But I do agree that he certainly won’t throw nukes just cause hurr durr he is such a crazy dictator.
Whoever decided this can shove a cactus up somewhere.
Fuck you for hurting the most vulnerable;
disgusting decision by disgusting people.
