Having once built a capitalist system of booming growth, the US is now throttling it with politics and bad fiscal decisions
Yesterday, the United States Federal Reserve decided to yet again increase interest rates by 0.25% up to 5% despite the collapse of several US banks, including Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), as well as more trouble overseas.
This eye-watering increase is expected to have a negative impact on US economic growth, place banks under even further strain, and, by extension, have global implications. The goal of the hike is to tame surging inflation that has spooked Western countries and...

How Soviet armored trains helped defeat Nazi Germany
The outbreak of war came as a real nightmare for Soviet armored trains, which frequently had to cover the withdrawal of Red Army units single-handedly. If the enemy managed to sever the railway line, the armored train was doomed. It was either destroyed or blown up by its own crew.
With the turning of the tide in the war, the โfortresses on wheelsโ were transformed from desperate โsuicide trainsโ into a solid back-up for Soviet troops as they swept westwards.
One elusive Soviet armored train caused the Germans so much trouble that they dubbed it the โGreen Ghostโ.

Mexico Tapped the Phone of Human Rights Activist - President
President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador confirmed his government tracked the phone of activist Raymundo Ramos in 2020, but added that it was lawful because he โwas speaking on the phone to a suspected drug traffickerโ who was under investigation.
The admission comes after a report by non-profits claimed the military had access to messages Ramos had sent to journalists, follows allegations of widespread spying on journalists and opponents - an assertion the President furiously denies.
Ramos claims the government โwant to shoot the messenger,โ he told Reuters in response to the Presidentโs comments.

UBS, Deutsche Bank Shares Plummet as Fears of Banking Crisis Spread
Deutsche Bank fell 11% as the cost of insuring its bonds against the risk of default spiked, and UBS shares were down 6% on Friday as IG market analyst Chris Beauchamp says โwe are still on edge waiting for another domino to fall.โ
A fifth of value has been wiped off Deutsche bank so far this month and the cost of its credit default swaps jumped to a four-year high, as its attempts to return to a โsolid footingโ have failed, according to Stuart Cole, head macro economist at Equiti Capital.
