    Trump to impose $100,000 fee per year for H-1B visas, in blow to tech

    Depends if its put on H1 visas or h1-b specifically. A lot of different professions fall under H1 and I think agricultural work is H1-A or something like that. It depends on the specific. It would be a big LOL if he put it just on h1-b while everything else is not taxed which would be just :D

    Nato confirms it intercepted Russian aircraft over Estonia as EU calls violation a ‘dangerous provocation’

    We should shoot them down next time but there is a small problem. They fly like pu ss ies from the Sea and enter just a bit in to the zone over the water. They don't exactly fly over the land lets say. But it does warrant a response of some sort, Turkey route should be considered.

    Cuba Announces Integration into Chinese Payment System

    Cuba is not a friendly country to the US by itself. It is a hostile regime that props dictatorships and anti-americanism in central and south America. Why on this god green earth would America want to be friendly to Cuba when Cuba is not friendly to US?

    Cuba Announces Integration into Chinese Payment System

    China and Vietnam are not really communist economically anymore. Politically they are under a Leninist one party rule. Although China has slipped back in to autocracy/dictatorship as of late with Xi. Cuba is economically still communist and politically not even under a one party rule but...

    Cuba Announces Integration into Chinese Payment System

    No, you have an agreement that you can't physically invade Cuba because of the Cuban missile crysis. You can't take them in to your umbrella since they are communist. How do you even make a deal with communists?

    Cuba Announces Integration into Chinese Payment System

    They can't. Rupee, Yuan, Ruble are not currencies like the dollar or euro. They are not freely traded or convertable, they are under direct government control with heavy market restriction on capital outflows. It is a pure fantasy of some sort that any of them will give that power away for a...

    It doesn't matter. System by itself just reduces the chance of sanctions in that regard, otherwise it is irrelevant where and what system you conduct trade in. If you are trying to imply that it will help overtake dollar, euro and other Western currencies then you are delusional. The countries...
