The man who is sooooooooooo STRONG and sooooo in love with his country that he’s attacking its peaceful neighbors can’t assure the markets.
A wartime President would be doing everything to keep the price of oil down to send these countries reeling and force Cuba to our terms.

When a wild animal is backed into a corner, it comes out teeth snarling and biting. Putin is going to strike somewhere. He is not going to sit there and watch this crush his plans for a new Soviet empire. He is going to do something to strike out. Bank on it.
