Just the kind of 'Black Swan' that starts wars.

Blah blah blah financial instruments blah blah blah market positions blah blah blah currency exchange rates blah blah blah...
Absolutely nothing about real products and real services to real people. Nothing about supply outstripping demand or unable to meet it.
So the real world gets to go into a massive gut-wrenching depression that could result in the deaths of thousands of people because of the virtual reality world of modern banking.
Talk about the tail wagging the dog.

Wonder if putin realizes he is being dragged into a probable war against the West by islamists heck bent on the East's and the West's destruction? Ironic to the nth degree.

Meanwhile, the Norwegian Krone took the collateral damage today, as naked short traders used it as a “proxy currency” to cover their positions.

Didn’t china cash out some treasuries a few days ago?
If Reagan was in office, right about now he would call Putin and tell him he is either out of Ukraine and Crimea in 24 hours or the US is going to grant more oil leases and fast track Keystone.

Yep. This will be the trigger. Expect Putin to skip over ukraine and shoot for poland. His time is up so he will start settling old scores. He knows it over and his ego will not let him go quietly. And we are stuck with dumbass obama and kerry. We won’t come out of this alive. Probably why we are not mentioned in end times prophecy. Expect a sneak nuclear attack by the ruskies within the next three months. They will launch everything they have at us.

Russia already started the war with the takeover of Crimea and invading Eastern Ukraine. They have been provoking NATO for weeks with their intrusions into European airspace. Oh, and there is that little matter of shooting down a civilian airliner over Ukraine.
Russia is no longer a superpower save for its nuclear arsenal. That puke Putin must learn that there are consequences for his actions.

Interesting discussion as war (on economic level) ramps up. Be prepared.
