Russia & Ukraine...the drums of war are getting louder

The stock markets are in a huge downfall right now...as cold as it may seem, there are several buying opportunities right now. Remember Mr. Potter in It's a Wonderful Life? when others were selling because of panic, he was buying at a huge discount. Do what the rich folks do and you'll come out ahead.

Maybe also buy some ammo, if we face real hard times, you might need to protect what's yours with lead. Just sayin'
 
Bad man tweets still as scary now I wonder?

New York/London (CNN Business)Oil prices surged above $100 per barrel after Russia launched an invasion of Ukraine, piling pressure on a global economy already reeling from rampant inflation.
Brent crude, the global benchmark, added 8.5% to trade at $105.40 per barrel by 5:30 a.m. ET on Thursday. Brent last traded above $100 per barrel in 2014. US oil prices increased 8% to over $100 per barrel.

I wonder if the Libs will now try to blame inflation on Putin and the fuel price jump rather than their own policies of throwing money around? Could this have been planned between Putin and them to affect the midterms? Or to give them a reason to mail money to everyone in another round of stimulus to buy votes?

We shall see.
 
Gird your loins folks and pray this subsides quickly before it escalates out of control. By the way, I haven't heard a peep of blame being placed on the "Never Trumpers", only on Trump himself.

TAIWAN—Citizens of Taiwan reported today they were grateful to receive a free preview of the kind of thing that was going to happen to them in just a few short weeks thanks to America's weakness on the world stage under President Biden.

People across the country tuned in for the exciting, free sneak preview of what China was going to do to them any day now, now that President Xi is sure that Biden has no backbone whatsoever.

"Welp—I guess we'd better prepare," local man Huang Zhìháo said as he watched the Russian invasion of Ukraine on TV this morning. "This is gonna be bad."

"At least we got this nice little teaser trailer though," he added. "A lot of countries don't get the privilege of seeing their future like this."

According to sources, the Taiwanese were hopeful that Biden's declarations that "America is back" and that he would go toe-to-toe with the world's toughest leaders meant that Xi Jinping would be held back for another four years. But as soon as he botched the withdrawal from Afghanistan, they began to have their doubts. Finally, once they saw him take a long nap while Putin invaded Russia, they realized they were "completely and totally screwed."

At publishing time, sources had confirmed that President Xi was also watching the footage with a sly smile on his face.

 
KIEV—The latest polls in Ukraine indicate that Biden's approval rating has dropped to a record low of 0%, down from a previous low of 1%. Experts believe this may be due to Putin invading their country even though Biden used strong language like "come on, man!" and threatened to offer an effective strategy to mobilize truminadapressure. Other experts disagree, saying the main reason for the drop is Biden being a "major weenie." Pollsters indicated Biden's approval rating in Ukraine may be a negative number by morning.


 
Wow. "The Big Lie" is alive and well. China is already starting with their big lies about Taiwan as well. As soon as they see Biden does nothing but talk about Ukraine, they will be moving towards Taiwan.

We have had world peace for so long that the citizens of all of the western world elected leaders who are completely concerned with internal matters... they have no concept of dealing with a world of war. We and the world are about to pay for that.

In the future, this will mark the end of an era of peace between major powers and likely the start of Cold War II.

The GOP needs to come up with a pair of strong *sane* leaders for 2024. Trump is strong, but misses out on the "sane" requirement. We're past bluster solving this issue. Another 4 years of a "Social Warrior" President and the world will totally in the dumpster.
I wouldn't be surprised if China invades Taiwan before the end of March. If so, this may lead to WW III.

Can we just sacrifice Ukraine and Taiwan for World Peace? I don't mean literally sacrifice, just expand the boundaries and every join hands to sing kumbahya.
