He’s best known for global macro funds so this sort of thing is near his wheelhouse (if not in it) and he’s certainly up there with the world’s greatest money managers, and almost certainly top one or two in global macro.imposter2.0 said:
I have no particular axe to grind with Mr Soros, but as someone who is basically just a hedge fund manager and wealthy philanthropist, he is probably no more qualified to comment on long-term geopolitics and the survival of the species than I am...HilaryAmin said:

Yes, I know who he is. But I refer you back to my statement above. He has no more ability to predict WW3 and civilisation's demise than I do.rick_chasey said:

Makes me wonder if he's that good, why he didn't make his prediction before the conflict started."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.1 -
Sure. He’s not just any fund manager and that’s why he gets global coverage when he opens his mouth.0

I think you need to calm down rick.

At the risk of being labelled a dinner party strategist can I say that it looks increasingly like Rick reporting mainstream news seems to be correctrick_chasey said:

Soros takes positions based on global overarching factors, he will base his opinion from direct access to the highest sources. As he has been doing this successfully for 40 odd years it would suggest that his opinion carries more weight than Beyonce or Kanye.imposter2.0 said:

Yes, I get that. But he's a hedge fund manager, not an anthropologist or a geopolitical pathologist. In that sense, his views on the likelihood of WW3 or survival of the species carry no more relevance than mine do.surrey_commuter said:

I would assume these highest sources would have financial expertise as those would be the circles in which he moves.
If that’s the case, the point is moot.

Apparently the Russian effort to make a small encirclement has stalled.
Some chat that even with all the dense railways which the Russian army relies heavily on for supply in that region, they have between 3-5 days of effort before they need to pause.
In essence that then means the line hardens again as Ukraine then regroups and builds new defences.0 -

Latest Rachman Review (available on Spotify) on the global food programme is good if extremely bleak. Head of the UN food programme explaining the problems, short and medium term.
Makes a good point that when if comes to big food shortages, those who can afford usually pays for it in one way or another - either cheaply by donating food and assisting the problem or expensively when they migrate because else they starve to death.
Short term is a big problem - a lot more acute than the build up to Arab spring with around 43 countries with serious starvation problems problems.
(The actual podcast sounds a bit weird as the Head who is doing the talking an American from the Deep South and the folksy way he talks jars a little with the topic)
