Fed and the Markets: Rate Cuts vs. Policy Credibility

If the Federal Reserve decides to cut interest rates this fall, it will be:

The Federal Reserve’s possible rate cut this fall stirs intense emotions. Some see it as a rational response to slowing growth and looming recession, while others view it as the Fed’s loss of independence, caving to markets and politicians. Critics warn it may reignite inflation and undermine the dollar. Conspiracy-minded voices go further, claiming it’s a calculated manipulation of rate cycles designed to protect elites profiting from recurring crises. Is the Fed truly acting in society’s interest, or serving global power players instead?

Will Ukraine regain the territories occupied by Russia?

Do you think Ukraine will be able to regain the territories occupied by Russia as a result of the war?

The war in Ukraine has from the very beginning raised the question of whether the country has a real chance to reclaim all the lost territories, including Crimea. Some argue that the determination of Ukrainians and Western support will be enough to reverse the course of the conflict. Others believe that Russia, with its military and resource advantage, will not give up the occupied territories, and any attempt to retake them will end in escalation. There is also the factor of global powers – the USA, China, and the EU – whose policies may decide the future of the borders. In the background, conspiracy theories circulate about secret deals and a “frozen conflict” lasting decades. Will Ukraine truly regain full sovereignty, or will the world accept a new division?

Poland and the peace talks in Washington

Do you think Poland, given the enormous support it has provided to Ukraine, should have been invited to the peace talks in Washington (18.08.2025)?

The Russian-Ukrainian conflict has divided public opinion for years, and Poland’s support for Kyiv is undeniably immense – from billions spent on aid to hosting millions of refugees. That is why the absence of Warsaw at the peace talks in Washington raises questions about Poland’s real position on the international stage. Some argue that Poland earned a place at the table, while others say it is not formally a party to the war and its presence could only make negotiations more difficult. Added to this are the tensions in Polish-Ukrainian relations, which weaken Warsaw’s arguments. Is Poland’s exclusion a matter of cold calculation or a deliberate marginalization of an ally?

Which country causes the most harm to the global economy?

Which country do you consider the most “dangerous” in terms of destroying other nations’ economies?

This question could spark a heated debate, as it strikes at the image of great powers and their impact on the world’s economies. The USA has for decades been accused of destroying markets through sanctions, speculation, and dollar policy. China is criticized for its “debt trap” and taking over strategic sectors. Russia uses energy blackmail, while the EU – according to its critics – imposes regulations that make markets dependent on its standards. Israel is often seen as a player lobbying in the technology and defense sectors, and India – for its expansion in IT and services. Who is really the “economic destroyer”?

Ban on Combustion Cars vs. Development of Gas Stations

How do you assess the ban on the sale of new combustion engine cars in the European Union from 2035, considering that gas station networks are still expanding rapidly?

The planned ban on the sale of new combustion engine cars in the EU from 2035 is sparking heated debates – supporters call it a historic step toward climate neutrality, while opponents see it as a technocratic experiment detached from reality. Meanwhile, gas station networks, instead of winding down operations, are investing in expansion, which for many is a sign that oil and gasoline will not disappear overnight. Critics point to the still sluggish pace of charging infrastructure development, as well as problems with battery recycling and lifespan. Conspiracy theories claim the ban is a tool to control mobility, with the elite having their own loopholes. Will 2035 mark a green revolution or just another political illusion?

Apocalyptic scenario

In your opinion, which of the following scenarios is the most likely to occur in the next 25 years?

For years, theories have circulated that the world as we know it could change in the blink of an eye – the only question is, what will be the spark? Some claim that governments have long been hiding contact with aliens and will one day “release” the truth, while others warn that artificial intelligence will gain self-awareness, at which point humans will lose control over their own creation. There are also voices claiming that particle colliders or quantum computers are experimenting at the edge of known physics, risking the opening of a portal to another dimension or the creation of a black hole. Or perhaps this is all just internet-fed fantasy? And if not – are we ready for everything to happen at once?
