Do you enjoy cooking and how skilled are you? Do you invest in crypto?

What kind of investments would you reccomend to average working person? Gold? Real estate? Something third?

None of those were Christian countries, none were Western European countries.

The Christian population of Iraq was massacred by the US-backed Islamists during Obama's time. Western Europe is next.

The Christian population of Syria was in danger of extermination before Russia defeated the US-backed Islamists.

The Christian population of Egypt was in danger before the military overthrew the US-backed Muslim Brotherhood.

And Mexico is Catholic, look what the CIA drug cartels did to Mexico,
everybody in Mexico knows that the CIA is in business with the drug cartels.

Bit like Iran. Yes, it was ally of USA (as long as Shah was in power) but all that changed in one night.

Another great example, Iran was a US ally and was subverted and betrayed by the US, the Shah admitted it.

The US is a totally unreliable ally.

Of course every nation is selfish, but how many Russian allies have been abandoned by Russia in this century?

How many Chinese allies have been abandoned by China?

Stabilized? You meant bombed to dush? Well, maybe that can be called one kind of stalibization. No fights/problems as none is alive anymore.

Only Chechnya, which has been rebuilt.

Russia saved Syria and the Sahel, Russia is respected in the Middle East, Africa, and Asia, unlike the US.

The money market (private lending) is good for average people, interest rates can be 5%, ask your bank.

Of course, I like physical assets that always appreciate (such as real estate in an area that is always favoured by tourists).

Owning real estate (and paying off the mortgage) is ideal: house or condominium, house for a family, especially with land.

DO NOT significantly increase your debt to invest in real estate. And real estate may not always sell quickly, so be careful.
DO NOT try other forms of real estate unless you know what you are doing, and you already own a house/condominium.



Stocks outperform real estate usually, but I do not know anything about stocks.

Gold and silver outperform stocks and real estate, are always useful to own as emergency long-term investments.
Gold is very expensive, especially now, gold recently hit its highest value ever.
Silver is better for beginners, or for smaller investments.
But I think that precious metals are too expensive for average people, unless they are part of a diverse investment portfolio.

Risky technology stocks outperform precious metals, but are VERY RISKY, not recommended for average people.

Crypto outperforms risky technology stocks, but is VERY VERY RISKY,
and the crypto market moves rapidly, not recommended for average people.
It may be good for average people to keep some Bitcoin,
especially in a self-custodial wallet (do not lose your password).
Self-custodial wallets are even better than the crypto exchanges.
But do not expect to make money with crypto unless you are monitoring the market:
withdrawing cash often, selling when the price is high, buying after a price cash.
The crypto business cycle is very short, monitor the cycle.

I have some Bitcoin, but not as an investment, I am not monitoring the crypto market.
I am only holding some crypto to use as a form of money that is outside of government control and monitoring.
I am not trying to make money from crypto.

So this is her, she seems like my type! I do not have any tattoos or know anything about anime, but...

[Etelfrido]

Id have a glimpse of hope if there was one exception on the planet. Just one.

Head East, maybe?

By the way, I'd like to know about her experience in China, Japan, Singapore, and what she thinks of the future political and economical weight of the region.

Abondoned? LOL. Now you see things backwards. Yes, ''that'' surely is not the problem. The problem is that they will not mind to leave even as you will ask them to. Yes, they stay that tightly with you ... just like in Baltic states 1945 - 1991. Extremely liable partners one could say. Even so good partners that they will easily remove the border between you and them (saying: It is not necessary). To whom?

[Finnish Swede]

And who will care about Sweden? The Swedish? LOL, obviously not

If we'll disappear, then that is our matter/issue. We can only blame ourselves.

If one will disappear as some other country/nation attack against it ... that is another story. Your fate is not anymore in the hands of your own people.

[Finnish Swede]

Ok ... you know why Sweden and Denmark fought for Skåne? As it was/is important area (for food production). Especially Sweden really needed it. Originally area belonged to Denmark (and the people were nord-Danes and they talked one of the nord Danish dialects).

What do you think about idea of autonomus Skåne?
