Wherefore rejoice? What conquest brings he home? What tributaries follow him to Rome, To grace in captive bonds his chariot-wheels? Outgunned, outnumbered, but never outclassed!

The trucks are owned by an associate of Mr Soprano and if you don't let them through unmolested, Furio will want to know why. It won't tickle either.

USA is #14 in the world and climbing for OG football these days y'know, higher than traditional football countries like Mexico and Uruguay. It's hard to get past the advantage of rules so simple that even a dog can learn to play.

Austria's armed forces aren't bad at all for their size and low cost, plus unlike much of the rest of Europe they're actively and very speedily rearming. Also they're big fans of money, much like the Swiss, so will likely cut some sort of deal.

Something I haven't seen mentioned: there are 35k potentially hostile troops in Germany with lord knows what sort of warfighting materiel right now. That's a serious threat to all of Europe, specifically German sovereignty. Get them out NOW

It's worth pointing out that 80% of the posts on that subreddit are fictional short stories. It's a bit like crowd-sourced penny dreadfuls - shocking trash content for the bored.

True indeed, a reasonably close comparison with the considerable advantage that interest coverage data is fairly readily available!

How vulnerable are UK companies to higher interest rates? The purpose of Bank Overground is to share our internal analysis. Each bite-sized post summarises a piece of analysis that supported a policy or operational decision.

Much lower than the UK c.2023. The term of art you are looking for is 'interest coverage ratio'.

They're not going to demobilise, they're going to send the army into one or more Baltic countries and we'll officially enter the Sitzkrieg phase of WW3. This likely represents less risk to Putin than the alternative civil conflict you describe. The yanks won't give a fuck either. Gird thy loins!

Banging 'camp followers' in the bunker hot-tub 30km back from the grey zone until the Israeli visa is squared and away, how terrible for him.

He can't push Trump too hard or NATO loses the USA, which would be an existential crisis for the organisation. I don't envy Rutte's position at all.

Broadly agree, main issues are: pts 2&4 which are clearly attempts to keep the silly 'roll back NATO to 1997' demands in play, pt 22 which is an oddly transparent break clause, and pt 26 which is a completely egregious violation of intl law. 4/28 is not too bad.
