Russia & Ukraine

[Cuddles]

What the Russians are trying to do is goad the Ukrainians into a fight. Most likely we are in the phase where Russia is looking to create a reason for invasion.

well; killing toddlers is one way to go about it

Around 19th of February keep an eye on the markets and options in the index before closing regular trading hours.
This is the anniversay day Supreme Soviet gave Crimea to Ukrainian Soviet Republic.
Interesting fact the Olympics will have closing ceremony next day 20th of February

Those crazies from Azov battalion will try to pull false flag and drag Russia to defend Donbass.Russia doesn't need to invade,they can destroy them from territory of Russian Federation

Looks like he's called it to the day though.
It was a GREAT call actually.

This is more about weather conditions and the geopolitical climate. In the Eastern European world this timeframe we are in is the war window. Lots of stuff tends to happen right about now when Russia is involved. Putin will use whatever he can to make his case.

If the Russians are going it’s going to be sooner than later now. They do have a problem in that it is relatively rainy and warm in Ukraine for a while and that means they will have to move using paved roads. Big problem for them because roads tend to be out in the open and are easily destroyed.

We will see.

I wonder if Joe's been up all night in the Situation Room?
This can't be good for his health.

We are getting there. The only question is how many kindergarteners is Putin willing to kill.

You worry about the dumbest shit. Pay attention to the response of NATO if you want to judge Biden. Keep an eye on the Germans too.

This is not the time for games. If not contained this conflict could cascade far and wide.

Olympics are still a factor. But will not be after the weekend. So that goes off the table.

As I have said before, I don't necessarily see this as Vlad shiiting or getting off the pot scenario. He is prick and knows he is damaging Ukraine's economy just by being a prick. I could see him pulling his troops back but leaving them hovering just outside Ukraine and ready to go for months. Not saying he will do that. Just saying, it is an option.

That is why I have said before that he needs to be sanctioned just for threatening actions at some point. I don't buy into the idea that he should be allowed to just do this shiite and then have a few giggles and go home. As a practical matter if he did that today, I don't have a boner for making it an issue and would let it go. But if he wants to make this a regional lifestyle for the Ukrainians and the NATO countries, I would sanction him just for being a prick regardless of whether he attacked.
