Moorddadige conflicten die weinig of geen aandacht krijgen hier. Met dank aan een collega om dit te delen. #conflictstheworldignores

Total count of visually confirmed Russian tank losses has just exceeded 4000! The real number of losses is probably much higher. #Ukraine #Russianlosses 👉 www.oryxspioenkop.com/2022/02/atta...

Bam! De houders van US Treasuries kunnen de schade gaan opmeten.

Nine countries still holding a AAA credit rating—now that the U.S. has lost its top rating from Moody’s. 5 of them are EU countries. Let that sink in. FYI: Belgium’s rating remains AA- with a negative outlook. #EU #US

SURPRISE! #UK overtakes #China as second-largest #US Treasury holder. Combined the Benelux-countries would probably rank first in US treasury holdings Luxembourg: $424 billion, Belgium: $375 billion, Netherlands (estimated): $220 billion. #Benelux est. total ($1.02 trillion). Crazy.

Bis repetita placent. Van Orban hoeven we al langer niets anders te verwachten uiteraard.

Bien étonnés de se trouver ensemble. The #US joined #Russia, #Belarus, and #NorthKorea in voting against a #UNGA resolution condemning Russia’s aggression against Ukraine. Introduced by Luxembourg and Lithuania, the resolution was supported by 105 nations.

Visually confirmed. I say again: visually confirmed. Real losses probably much higher. #Ukraine #Russia #russianlosses More info: www.oryxspioenkop.com/2022/02/atta...

Kind reminder. #Tariffs #TradeWars #USA

The evolution of trade over the years. The countries that do most of their trade with the US are in blue, those that do most of their trade with China are in red. Not a good idea to treat allies and foes alike. #China #USA #Tariffs #TradeWars #shift

The EU Single Market unites 450+ million consumers with massive purchasing power—over €14 trillion GDP. 0% tariffs across Europe. Let's use it. Buy local. Buy European. #buyeuropean #Europe

With China holding 759 billion $USD US Treasuries I would recommend to be cautious, very cautious. #TradeWars #Tariffs #USTreasuryBills

Bijna 24.000 Belgische militairen namen sinds het begin deel aan UN Peacekeeping missions. 127 betaalden de hoogste prijis. We will remember them!
