Politics Ukraine / Russia

I know. Me, too. I thought I heard them say during the Olympics last evening that China is backing Russia on the Ukraine thing, while Russia is backing China on the Taiwan thing, and that they're both (effectively) against NATO and the US.

 

you heard right.

Wondering why the market just took a massive dump

 

I wonder what Steven Seagal is up to?

 

Probably giving Putin a hand job...

 

There is absolutely no room for both siderism!!!!

if you don't choose my side, you are the enemy!

 

There has supposedly been a Russian pullback.. Not sure how much of that I believe.

 

I kind of believe it. From what I have read Russia would not be able to afford the huge expense of an invasion and occupation. Putin is making bank right now on spiked oil prices and he has some political objectives that he is working on. So essentially the whole thing could just be elaborate market manipulation with a political twist of trying to fracture NATO, get France and the UK to work directly with him outside of the USA involvement, and force the Ukraine to give up it's NATO bid and become more under the Russia sphere of influence. It appears Putin underestimated some of NATOs resolve and the Ukraines determination and could be looking to back away somehow that allows him to save face and claim some sort of victory. But who really knows what's in Putin's mind so I could be way off base.

 

Sounds like a pretty well thought out assessment, to me.

 

I mean that all might be true but this is CNNs fault

 

According to Fox "news", all the talk about war in Ukraine is just a ploy to detract attention from Hillary Clinton. Who has been retired for six years.
