US futures are down a little more than 100 tonight — but given the +450 point rally that is barely a retracement. At this point, most of you are well versed as to the happenings in the war department — Russia advanced methodically on Kiev while Ukrainians defend themselves best they can. They’ve been quite the spectacle on Twitter, on par with the rest of clown world we live in today — broadcasting everything as we do it in order to curry “likes” and “comments.”
The White House said this earlier and it got me thinking — is anyone next on Putin’s hit list or does he stop at Ukraine?
WHITE HOUSE SAYS BELIEVES PUTIN HAS GRANDER AMBITIONS THAN UKRAINE ***

My mind immediately goes to PUTIN RAMPAGING THROUGHOUT EUROPE, lobbing cruise missiles on all major cities in a final showdown with NATO; but I am only thinking that nonsense because I’ve been psyoped by Hollywood since I was born to fear the Hitler and the next Hitler, for once he takes Czechoslovakia he will never stop and instead keep going until he genocides the world, lest you have blonde hair and blue eyes (thank god for contact lenses and hair dye).
But in the real world, Putin is likely to stop at Ukraine and the world will hate him for a year and then forget all about him.
Meanwhile, we still have a FUCKED economy with jaw-breaking inflation, so bear that in mind as you dive in head first into the concrete jungles of the NASDAQIRI.

Honestly, most American’s don’t give a rats ass about Ukraine. Do you? Did you have sleepless nights when Russia annexed Crimea or Belarus? Yeah, I didn’t think so.
Truth is, this “crisis” is a sideshow to distract us from an unpleasant reality. What might that be???
You’re preaching to the choir Bob. Everyone knows that. So what?
As usual, I know nothing but from what I’ve heard, historically Putin has been fairly cautious ergo he stops at Ukraine.
The days of empire building are over. Managing people who hate you is just a headache.
Putin had a problem he was forced to address – a Cuban Missile Crisis in reverse.
He knew there was no negotiating with a former comedian in Ukraine. After NordStream 2 was delayed he said FTS, I must, can & will get rid of the Ukraine problem. After the smoke clears the Germans will still be cold and hungry.
Putin could easily stomp many a Eurofag in a couple weeks, but why? These are future customers. Putting a good scare in them is worth something.
Those poor Ukrainian soldiers died for a hopeless cause. Brave, young and stupid, egged on by their former comedian/leader who always had his interests first – never theirs. And now they’re dead. Sadly, that’s how it’s always been.
Putin’s call for soldiers to lay down, big tell. Ukrainians aren’t going to roll over and tuck their nuts, as much as many would like to see, for selfish reasons. I imagine Putin enjoys his life and status quite well the way it is. Maybe he went on a 12-Day Panchakarma Cleanse and had an epiphany, to rebuild the soviet union. Or maybe he tucks his nuts.
What is he going to take at this point? The separatist regions? Ok, no real change there. He’s going to have to sacrifice a lot more if he intends to take the country. Good luck with that. Imagine yourself in that situation. He’s too late.
I’ll be here to rub it in the keyboard jockey’s faces when putin tucks his nuts.
He’s going to take the Ukrainian capital city, Kiev, plus one of its most important business centers and control of a strategically important river that feeds into the Black Sea.
When he’s done Putin will control everything East of the Dnieper and will have effectively cut off possible routes for a land invasion that could get to Moscow.
And NATO will be emasculated and internal tensions will boil to the surface, making his adversaries weaker.
Putin’s not going to “tuck his nuts.”
“Putin had a problem he was forced to address – a Cuban Missile Crisis in reverse.”
Yes, he had to act. He’s been taking our shit for years. I don’t know why.
Maybe “our side” and Putin are all just performers for us unwashed.
