Multipolarity: The Post Post-Cold War. The Fact The West Can't Stop (Although It Is Trying)
I already knew about the casino nature of global currency speculation but the figures are mind-blowing. This video (and Part 1) is very interesting, this is a short transcript of parts of the first 20 mins or so as they discuss the movement of currency around the world compared to actual trade needs.

The Republican Party is currently giving the Democratic Party an object lesson in how to shore up a weak and disliked Presidential candidate and give him momentum and a winning energy.

They are not going to ditch Biden, they can't. But a VP with some universal appeal would do wonders for the Democratic cause.
I think it's impossible now for the Dems to win, no matter who they selected. Ryan Grim (ex the Intercept) says the following to Owen Jones:
Leaning Democratic? Seems a stretch. They would need someone with youth and real star power. I have no suggestions.
