Paul Krugman’s Substack has become essential reading, and this piece exemplifies why: a clean takedown of the Trump-Bessent claim that Ukraine and “the conflict Iran” bear responsibility for high fuel prices today: **CROSSPOST: PAUL KRUGMAN: Imperialist Delusions & the Price of Fuel** Paul’s subheadline: “Trump & Bessent tried to betray Ukraine. Now they don’t have any cards”… https://braddelong.substack.com/p/crosspost-paul-krugman-imperialist > 2026-09-03 Related

Bessent is giving long end yields the Streisand effect so much right now. Quoting @CGasparino SCOOP: Treasury Secretary @SecScottBessent will do whatever it takes to "put the fear of God" into the bond vigilantes, shorting the long end of the curve in an attempt to drive the 10 year yield to 5%, Wall Street executives with direct knowledge of his thinking say. That would include buy backs,… Related

Thanks to your intervention, the @rblbank has started reversing some of the fraudulent debits. Earlier they had flatly refused to do so in writing and in fact informed me that the “case is closed” even though it’s pending with @RBI Ombudsman. One big lesson for me: Don’t have debit cards. Cancelled all of them. Use credit cards instead and always pay in full before due date. Quoting @suchetadalal If this can happen to @Sanjay__Bakshi - it can happen to all of us. @rblbank has a serious issue judging customers !! Related

Nothing matches. Show everything
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
