IIRC Russia was kicked out of the G7 after invading Ukraine. Letting them back in when they haven’t released Crimea and eastern Ukraine basically says you can do what you want to bully your smaller/weaker neighbors
Is why Trump likes Putin.Who’s the weaker neighbor? You want Mexico to join G7? 
Eh. Trump has been making the Fed political since day one. With kicking Jane Yellen out (never done before), then putting significant pressure on his own appointee to make the Fed subservient to his political ambitions and scapegoating the Fed for his policy mistakes.
But sure, pick some person with no power to scapegoat to push your agenda

Where is the inflation? Even the fed admits they’ve been dead wrong and inflation decoupled from unemployment a long time ago.

Dude. Stop deflecting. You put up a strawman argument to push your agenda that people are politicizing the Fed. I pointed out you are full of crap as usual because the example you provided was nothing compared to how much Trump politicized the Fed. You now want to pick on something else which was not relevant to your core argument to justify yourself. I don’t know why extreme right wing trolls like yourself have this exhaustive pattern of false equivalence to try to muddy the picture on right and wrong and then start spinning off into pointless sub arguments so that everyone stops paying attention. You seem to consistently push an agenda on this forum which is to take every little thing to bash people who are not of the same political alignment as you and cause many threads to degenerate just like someone else we all know.
Here’s how every thread where you start pushing right wing politics runs:
Marcus: look at this (no name, powerless) person pushing a liberal or democratic agenda. How bad! this tells you anyone left of center is bad
Someone: Dude. You are full of crap. These are nobodies. Why are you even paying attention? And if you considered that bad, look at your God - Trump - whom you worship who’s doing the exact same thing but since it’s for your cause, it’s all ok. Doesn’t matter he actually has power and can influence stuff
Marcus: You are wrong, because, look. Squirrel!

Kudos to @marcus335 sticking to the topic and your POV without responding to repeated ad hominem attacks in kind from one particular member towards you .
@manch please relegate this thread to the backwaters of political category.

Their dual mandate is low unemployment and stable inflation. Their incorrect fear of inflation led them to raise rates when no data supported it.
Calling the fed out for raising rates when there’s no inflation isn’t politicizing it. It’s saying they weren’t doing their job right and now the fed agrees they were wrong. The fed shouldn’t be without criticism. They are humans doing a job. I posted the Gundlach article where he states the fed has lost control of the bond market.

US <-> China National Debt cancelled each other??
ROC = Taiwan 
The suit was thrown out on the basis that the 1976 Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, which allows U.S. courts to hear cases against foreign governments for commercial claims, could not be retroactively applied to bonds issued at the turn of the century.
so HK is taiwan
Huh?
Btw, those debts were issued by the ROC government now in Taiwan. Taiwan is not recognized as a province of China. So those debts belong to Taiwan.
And China say taiwan is china.
What matter is the nation holding the ROC debt recognizes Taiwan as an independent nation 
, so the debt belongs to Taiwan. In order to collect from China, one of the necessary thing to do is to recognize Taiwan is a part of China.
If you think so. using your argument.
Then taiwan cannot repay the debt, sell whole taiwan to US for repayment.
taiwan becomes part of US, china then can’t say shix about it.

Huh? Your logic conf… me. Can’t see how it can lead to that conclusion. Btw, court already ruled can’t collect, we are just talking for fun.
You are assuming current Taiwanese government recognizes the debt 
and Taiwanese wants to be another Puerto Rico. I have to respond because @manch buy into this HK (il)logical conclusion and possibly many more did. Apparently my point that because US doesn’t recognize Taiwan as part of China means China doesn’t has the right (in US’s eyes) to decide whether to recognize the debt, is not understood. Of course, that doesn’t mean China has given up the claim that Taiwan is part of China. It also doesn’t mean if US recognizes Taiwan as part of China, China would recognize the debt. The validity and authenticity of the debt has to be determined.
