This is beginning to get a little more than serious, especially with this backdrop.

Here are some more than concerning headlines:
Biden admin presented China with intelligence on Russia’s troop buildup in hopes Xi would step in. Chinese officials rebuffed the U.S. and apparently shared the information with Moscow.
PUTIN: AMERICAN ADVISORS HAVE ENCOURAGED UKRAINE FORCES TO USE CIVILIANS AS SHIELDS
NATO Head Stoltenberg – Cyberattacks “can trigger Article 5”.
Italian government: “We support Russia’s expulsion from SWIFT.”
CHINA’S XI TOLD PUTIN HE RESPECTS RUSSIA’S ACTIONS, AFFIRMED READINESS FOR CLOSE COORDINATION AND MUTUAL SUPPORT AT UNITED NATIONS – KREMLIN
WESTERN OFFICIALS FEAR RUSSIA WILL NOW START BOMBING UKRAINIANS INDISCRIMINATELY, AND EVEN WITH THERMOBARIC WEAPONS IF PROGRESS CONTINUES TO BE IMPEDED – SKYNEWS
NATO activating defense plans – ” to prepare ourselves to respond to a range of contingencies & secure Alliance territory, including by drawing on our response forces” per statement
NATO’S STOLTENBERG: NATO LEADERS TODAY ANNOUNCED MORE WEAPONS FOR UKRAINE, INCLUDING AIR DEFENCE SYSTEMS
German Defense Minister Lambrecht fears Putin is no longer afraid of attacking NATO partners.
Lambrecht: “He is not predictable at all right now.”
Ok what the fuck is going on here? The Dow is +677 as if this shit wasn’t happening. NATO is on the verge of getting into a hot war with Russia. This is without question. By sending AA batteries into Ukraine to shoot down Russian jets, I would imagine this could be viewed as “interfering” as Putin warned NATO not to do. Now the choice is pretty clear now: do you confront Putin and wage war with him, which is going to cost tens of thousands of lives, and that’s not including if in fact China does mobilize on their side. With war criminals in Chechnya fixing to stream into Ukraine, the specter of brutality is increasing in Ukraine and with that, listen to me, public support to wage war against Russia.

I’m flabbergasted at the reaction of this invasion and the subsequent calamity.
It’s as if individuals and the US markets are laughing this off.
Sick!
COVID-19 was circling the globe for over a month before the markets decided to give a shit.
This much I know.
I would trade our sock puppet President for Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy anytime.
I wouldn’t give a warn sack of manure for either of them.
Zelensky is making it as bad as possible for his own people by refusing to negotiate. It appears he wants his country destroyed for his political benefit.

If you ever needed proof that US equity markets have come un-moored from fundamentals, reality, whatever – yesterday and today are that proof.

Keep buying Sir?
Wish I spoke and understood Russian like a Russian. Yesterday people were saying that Putin had threatened to nuke us …when what he actually said was that we’d suffer very greatly if we intervene …or some such.
As for today …did that chick has permission …or did she just go Sara Palin on Vlad? Who knows.

I’m buying into weakness and will do more on Monday.
