The former President of Russia and current Chair of the Security Council of Europe had some choice words for France today, after statements by their Finance Minister saying the west was in the process of collapsing the Russian economy.
French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said: “We are going to wage a total economic and financial war on Russia […] We are going to cause the collapse of the Russian economy.”
Russia’s response:
Today, some French minister has said that they declared an economic war on Russia. Watch your tongue, gentlemen! And don’t forget that in human history, economic wars quite often turned into real ones

He even sent another tweet in French to avoid any confusion. Things are certainly ratcheting up, as the US now alleges Russia of war crimes, very rich coming from America all things considered.
All of this is having a profound effect on crude, now up 9% to $105 for the session. Interestingly, many oil stocks are down, however, due to overall market weakness.
LMT and other defense stocks are up sharply again today.

Hey Zombie, long time.
Well boys, looks like our friend Zombie is back – perhaps in time for the coming Zombie apocalypse Brandon is brewing : D
Lol ?. Thanks Pirate. Always lurking, prepared for these end of times.
the French ministers’ statement was soft-headed and didn’t even tip the arrogance scale up to EU standards.
