“The Russian Ruble sank to a new all-time low, trading at 117.62 RUB/USD. Since Jan. 1, 2022, the ruble has depreciated by as much as 47.33% against the USD. Conflict in Eastern Europe is fueling the currency’s destruction. At present, I measure Russia’s inflation at 69.4%/yr.”

Minsk is like 300 miles from Kyiv. A couople hours drive from Vilnius. I’m sure the crazies in Belarus will happily kill some Ukrainians but most of their soldiers will not be hot on this idea. And civilians will be disgusted. This move is massively destabilizing for the regime in Belarus and reeks of desperation from Putin.

If they’re not careful, this will soon go on auto pilot, ie, WWI where all countries chose up sides. This business will get out of control and we’ll...

Confirmation of the WaPo report:

This certainly increases the chances of this conflict getting out of control if a third party enters.

Putin’s seeing The Big Guy’s weakness and using it to rebuild the USSR.

“The U.S. for the first time has approved the direct delivery of Stinger missiles to Ukraine as part of a package approved by the White House on Friday.”

Previous deliveries was from the Baltic countries.

The news is showing bodies of kids now. Although blotted out it’s still disturbing. In this day and age of the internet, Putin is going to have the whole world wanting to see him dead..........

Yep.

I read today North Korea is back to shooting off missiles. World wide state of emergency and Biden runs back to Delaware and hides in his basement.

Fully agree on this autopilot concept. And eastern Europeans are in the drivers seat because of our weak leader. Poles or others will drag NATO in... then it can get very bad.

Russia has taken about 1/6 of Ukraine, according to the maps on Fox News and elsewhere I’ve seen, so it may be 1/5.

I think Russia thought they would be doing better.

Was watching Bloomberg TV earlier to see how markets are doing.

They had a report that an Aeroflot plane had entered Canadian airspace after being blocked from Canada’s airspace.

Haven’t seen any print stories on it yet.

Wonder if Trudeau will invoke some “emergency” powers to seize the plane. Honk Honk.

Little Pukin wants to project a “strong man” image.

But him sitting at those long tables with his minions 100 feet away looks bizarre.

Little Pukin is afraid of the big bad Covid.
