THANK YOU! Everyone who took me to 1,500 Followers & to those beta testing the Pacemaker.Global new DATA page (SignUp required). We've already taken early feedback to improve the TIC tool to show top 5 increase/decrease in #USTs holdings YoY. Enjoy! (BIS don't do agility).

The increase in Belgium and Cayman Island holdings are almost certainly driven by CCP initial margin calls from higher market volatility and sanctions outflow. Iraq UST holdings are involuntary as forced to sell oil through New York Fed account since US invasion/occupation 2003.

🧵 LONG Thread 🧵 on Putin's State of the Nation Speech, 21 Feb 2023, 2 hours: en.kremlin.ru/events/preside…
🔸 Kiev anti-Russian oppression in Donbas;
🔸 West's Minsk deception while arming and training Uke Nazi militias;
🔸 NATO bases and bioweapons labs near Russian borders;
2/40 🔸 West now admits Minsk accords and Normandy format were bluffs, and is even proud of deception rather than diplomacy;
🔸 Same shameful deception in Yugoslavia, Iraq, Libya, Syria;
🔸 "Europe and the whole world needed an indivisible security system equal for all states";
3/40 🔸 NATO staging more missiles and bases near Russian borders;
🔸 Also hundreds of US bases around the world threaten others;
🔸 US unilateraly pulled out of armaments agreements that 'keep the world on track';
🔸 December 21 security agreement proposed to US/NATO rejected;
Those who follow know I sometimes note a narrative change. This is one RIGHT NOW. China is calling time on US global hegemony - political, economic, military & cultural. Putin’s speech at 9:00 GMT will likely add specific details to drive the new BRICS+ narrative and NIEO shift.
