🇻🇪🇬🇾 The ICJ rules in favor of Guyana and orders Venezuela to avoid taking actions that change the current situation in Essequibo:

"Until a final decision on the controversy is adopted, Venezuela will refrain from taking any measure that modifies the situation of the territory under the administration of Guyana."

Thus, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) recognizes that Guyana administers and controls the Essequibo territory.

The ICJ further noted that there is a real and imminent risk of irreparable harm to Guyana, and therefore took two provisional measures:

1) Venezuela must refrain from carrying out actions that modify the current situation of the disputed territory.

2) Both parties must avoid actions that aggravate or extend the dispute.

📈 🇺🇸 💵 Annualized interest expense on US Federal debt is nearing $1.1 TRILLION.

To put this in perspective, 2023 defense spending was $821 billion.

This means the US is on track to spend 34% MORE on interest expense than defense spending.

In 2023, the US government produced $4.4 trillion in revenue.

This means that 25% of receipts in the entire 2023 are equivalent to our annual interest expense.

If it looks like interest expense is moving in a straight line higher, that’s because it is.

Rising rates and falling tax revenue are both occurring at the same time.

What’s the game plan here?
