If you’re still on the fence over whether Putin intends to capture all of Ukraine at this point, then I strongly urge you to watch his full statement on the matter.
As of now, Russian forces are STEAMING into Eastern Ukraine, a place, by the way, RICH with natural gas.

Here are some relevant headlines for you tonight:
THE UN Security Council will hold an emergency meeting tonight to discuss this all important matter.
PUTIN ORDERS PEACEKEEPING OPERATION IN EASTERN UKRAINE’S TWO BREAKAWAY REGIONS
GERMANY’S FOREIGN MINISTER BAERBOCK: WE DEMAND THAT RUSSIA RESCIND ITS DECISION TO RECOGNISE THE EAST UKRAINIAN DISTRICTS AS SEPARATE ENTITIES. (I cannot believe he said this)
WHITE HOUSE: BIDEN WILL SIGN AN EXECUTIVE ORDER PROHIBITING NEW INVESTMENT, TRADE, AND FINANCE BY US CITIZENS TO, FROM, OR IN UKRAINE’S SO-CALLED DNR AND LNR AREAS.
UKRAINE PRESIDENT SAYS WE ARE WAITING FOR CLEAR AND EFFECTIVE STEPS OF SUPPORT FROM OUR PARTNERS

MARKETS ARE DECLINING WITH VIGOR now, -320 NASDAQs, which is a notable deterioration since the open of futures at 6pm est. WTI is +2.4% and US 10yr is -7bps to 1.86%.
As for me, I closed the session on Friday with 21% weight in UVXY, 11% in SQQQ and 5% in TMF, adorned with an array of oil and coal stocks. I shall endure. What you need to figure out, long-tards, is how long this crisis might perpetuate and what sort of deleterious effects on western markets will Russian oil, or lack thereof, have on the price of crude? I would argue markets are NOT pricing in the worst case scenario here, which is armed conflict between Russia and NATO.
At the same time, if Russia quickly wraps this up and makes his intentions perfectly clear that he does not intend to expand into other areas of Europe, perhaps we could then focus on the Federal Reserve fixing to tighten 9 times on us for the duration of 2022.

Will be awesome IF the Russians invade to see them get their asses kicked by the Ukrainian military and scurry away. Big talkers but really old ass hardware and probably got the uniforms off eBay from the original guards that fled to the US.
Putin and Trump = Talk Loudly and Carry and Toothpick Warton’s School of BizNass
go on more on
I want what you’re smoking.
Me too.
This is scary shit. But we’ve all learned that it’s easier to invade than occupy. He’s fuckin’ crazy to go into Kiev. This won’t end well for Ukrainians or Russians.
Let’s be honest, Putin is going to take whatever the fuck he wants. And there isn’t a god damn think NATO is going to do about it. I
NATO is just spread too thin with their current offensive in Canada.
God speed! Then we can move on to conviction of Hillary
The 10 year rally is really not terrible all things considered. I was steeling myself for worse.
There’s a very simple solution to this: Jim & Trudeau should simply SIGN JOINT EXECUTIVE ORDERS PROHIBITING RUSSIA FROM RECOGNISING THE EAST UKRAINIAN DISTRICTS AS SEPARATE ENTITIES. An ingenious jaw-dropping 3D chess move. It would catapult their ratings into the stratosphere (well into the mid 30’s for Jim and into the double digits for Trudeau)
Next, Jim challenges Putin & Xi to a 3-way cage match that ends when the first man is out.
Challenges: 1) checkers 2) chess 3) debate contest (no teleprompters or earphones) 4) child molestation and 5) MMA.
PS lucky yes but 1) there was no major attack during the Olympics 2) Putin did not take eastern Ukraine but he he sorta did effectively.
according to @CroissantEth
Coinbase NFT has 3,701,544 users signed up on their waitlist.
This number will nearly ?????? the amount of wallets interacting with non-fungible tokens.
NFTs are going to take ETH to a bull market whether people like it or not.
Indicative of the massive development going on
ETH Denver just ended
ETH Denver 2018 had 3,000 people (ETH price $600, post-ICO mania)
ETH Denver 2019 had 4,500 people ($100 ETH, deep bear market)
ETH Denver 2020 had 6,000 people ($300 ETH, right before March Covid crash)
ETH Denver 2022 has 12,000 people ($3,000 ETH, after 2 yrs of growth)
I still have decent sized LT crypto positions which have been generally obliterated. It could get much worse or bounce. Moon or goon. They can only go to zero; but upside in a couple years could be amazing.
I hate this, I can’t short stocks so now I have to walk my cat… FML
