Making money is action. keeping money is behavior. Growing money is knowledge. I'm excited I started earning upto 15thousand dollars extra income.
China has the worst demographics in all of history and by 2030 they will no longer be a global economic power. Their record rise in prosperity will be followed a by a record fall by the end of the decade. Russia has terrible demographics also and today I find out that Russia has been lying beyond belief about its population. Is it possible that the Russians have less than 100 million citizens? Possibly. My point is the "enemy" is fading fast.
Russia did not blow up its own pipeline.
