Futures Open Green as Ukraine Turns Black

Good evening gents.

In retaliation for getting routed out from Kharkiv oblast, the Russians attacked critical infrastructure and plunged many parts of Ukraine into darkness. This might seem spiteful and petty, but from what I hear there is a tactical reason for this.

It seems the Russian airforce is unable to interdict troop movements on the ground and do not possess the technology to detect large columns of metal objects on the ground. Blame the Slavic brain for these shortcomings. It’s also believed that the real Ukrainian offensive is going to happen in the direction of  Mariupol and the UKR military is using rail to transport equipment. Ergo, taking out the power in Ukraine is an effort by the Russians to buy time to build up fortifications.

The perception on the ground now is as follows.

Russia is no match for the GLOBOHOMO.

Ukraine meat muppets are excellent warriors and will make a find addition to NATO once Russia is defeated.

A Russian defeat means Putin in trouble and this is bearish for energy prices.

Europe will make it.

NASDAQ FUTS are +56 and the western liberals are dancing in their burlap shoes at the sight of dead Russian soliders.

    Safe to say all this media is premature in the extreme. But it must be so; as there will be suffering of the fucking bystanders that is not politically manageable coming down the pipe. Hoo Haa.

    “A Russian defeat means Putin in trouble and this is bearish for energy prices.”

    Perhaps the WH and markets will make believe with this nonsense for a time, but it seems if there is any danger of Russia actually “losing”; they hit the red button – Ukraine ceases to exist. It really is that simple. If Russia “loses”, it’s nuclear war.

    We all don’t know shit …as we are fed by a censored/self-censored, corrupt, blackmailed, whoremedia.

    My guess is that Russia will now take the gloves off and level Ukrainian infrastructure and stop being so worried about how our media portrays them. Also zero natty for any NATOtard country that arms their enemy. How will the people running the NATOmafia react?

    Well, our guys have had multiple opportunities to end this conflict – but have chosen not to. Must be some good and wholesome reason they want to escalate – eh?

      Yes, definitely there is an active information blackout and massive propaganda / disinformation operation underway.

      It has become obvious that NATO forces are embedded in Ukraine. War is now inevitable.

      Russia is in an existential battle. They came to protect the Donbass. Now they have no option but to turn the rest of Ukraine into a wasteland.

      China is watching.

    Yeah this is some solid propaganda on twitter. Ukraine took back some small albeit important territory not even 10% of what Russia has claimed.

    Russians are incompetent and that’s a great quality in an enemy really. But one of the reasons they pushed so far inland i.e. Kherson has to be to give themselves room to create fortifications. There’s no way they’d ever hold the West side of the Dnipro. And they can’t hold the low grounds in the East.

    At some point the Ukrainian army is going to run into troops. Unless Russia really is just complete morons.

    The Russians may have been moving relatively gently in Ukraine because of all the ties that Russians have with Ukrainians. The may have sold the invasion internally as a limited operation to save Russian speakers after the US installed a government in Ukraine that was hostile towards those folks. For the Russians this may be more analogous to the US invading Texas than to our invasion of the countries on the PNAC enemies list.

    We sold our post 9/11 invasions as defensive moves against “Jihadist” “camel jockeys” who didn’t talk like us or dress like us. Then we went in and wasted whole neighborhoods if there was even the suspicion of a single combatant among the women and children living there. Killed a million people. Not a peep out of State Media.

    I don’t know if Russian leadership has the level of control of the minds of the average Russian as our programmers do of us …or even if they do have that control, are they willing to slaughter at the level of our democracy spreaders.

    None of it matters…whether Russia takes more territory in Ukraine or not makes no difference. All that matters is:

    S&P Earnings ~$225 or more
    Inflation Sub 5% (going forward)
    10-Year Sub 4%
    Dollar breaking the uptrend and falling below $100

    You aren’t going to have a recession with unemployment under 5%
