I wouldn’t worry too much about the social upheaval in Crimea. As I recall, the market did just fine during the glory days of the cold war. Any escalation by the Russian Federation should be considered “bullish” for equities and a positive for defense contractors, who’ve just been unjustly violated in the most horrendous ways, by vagabond politicians, via cuts in funding. Very sadly, our defense budget barely surpasses ALL WESTERN NATIONS– combined– defense budgets, which onto itself is disgraceful.
JCP, SHLD and BBY look “dreamy” this morning, coinciding nicely with my long retail thesis.
Futures are firming up and I look forward to buying more BLOX on the opening dip.

It’s not so much that the Ukraine is weak but as you implied in the post Putin knows 0bama is just a speed bump and the Euros are just a bunch of unelected bureaucratic elitists.
Maybe 0, the Euros and the UN can get together and send Putin a very strong letter.
Cookies will be sent. Along with a newly knitted sweater.
And Hillary can hit the reset button again.
Interestingly, Ukraine has the 2nd largest military in Europe, behind USSR
Ukraine is tough, Obama is weak.
Obama just announced he plans to appoint a flaming homosexual as Ambassador to Ukraine, just to show Putin who’s boss.
