Follow the trend. I still see higher oil and commodity prices from here. Russian sanctions continue to be tightened and NATO managed to destroy the Russian economy, no question. However, economies are interlocked nowadays and US and Europe, as the prices of oil and commodities ratchet higher, the economies of the US and Europe will be battered with sky high inflation, if not, already. This is a time when, cooler heads need to prevail. Like it or not, you will have to talk to Putin and give him a face saving way out. Also, what are the lives of Ukrainians worth? US, UK, France hung Ukraine out to dry, getting Ukraine to give up its nuclear arsenal to Russia under the threat of sanctions, gave only security guarantees without, giving Ukraine NATO membership which should have been the case? So, NATO hung Ukraine out to dry and failed on their promise to provide for Ukraine security.
