Could this be the first “trigger” to the “Great reset”?

Keeping NATO where it doesn’t belong?

I don’t think so.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to put all that savings money into Russian dressing stocks.

And our idiot leaders will unleash that huge sanction package, Republicans will cheer it on. Russia cuts off gas to the EU, and our gas and oil prices utterly soar. Soaring energy costs hit an already staggering economy very hard.

It’s gonna be a real clambake. So glad DC and NATO have the interests of America at heart.

“Russia has a stock market?”

Yeah, and a 19% Debt to GDP ratio compared to ours of 130%. They also have a 12% flat rate tax. And they even have elections, unlike our dear friends the Saudis and Chinese.

Fait accompli. Lots of GLUM LOOKS on the war mongering media talking heads (look and judge for yourself).

The war drum balloon has been deflated and depression abounds in the deep state. TRUTH!

S&P 500 / Dow futures are trading today.

Right now:

DOW futures down 308. S&P 500 futures down 54.

Nothing earth shattering.

I do think the market can fall 5% this week, even without an invasion.

An invasion could be the time to Buy though. “Sell rumor, buy fact”.

This year and next year are going to be interesting. Can Fed achieve a soft landing or will a recession be necessary to tame inflation?

Looking back over the past 2 years, the Fed and Gov pumped too much money into the economy to “fight” covid. People were getting paid more from unemployment than when they were working. It may be time to pay the piper.

“Jeez… Jennifer Griffin is STILL spouting her MASSIVE INVASION is imminent spiel.”

I looked over parts of Pukin’s speech. I read it as a MASSIVE INVASION is coming.

Russia may recognize Ukraine’s two separatist republics, but the article does not even name them.

What are the names of the two Republics and what are their borders?
