The US market has been holding pretty steady with even a slight upward trend today.

But the Russian market posted a 33% drop (~200 billion dollars), with them even temporarily halting trading to stop the hemorrhaging.

Of course the market appears to have an upward trend today...It dropped 3% at the open! Honestly, IMO 'the market' hasn't really been trading and/or trending in any way that remotely reflects reality since December 2020. Get ready for a serious 'Gut Check' in the market...It's coming!

And has since made that all back plus a little more in most sectors.

Hence "slightly upward".

Biden’s scripted response was unbelievable, amazing, like Bush on 9/11, like Regan in Berlin, or on the Challenger disaster better yet like JFK during the blockade of Cuba, not!!! This bafoon is pathetic and lacks any leadership ability, he could fuck up a one car funeral!

He barely could read the fucking speech and he certainly couldn’t answer the questions put before him. We are run by loons.

I just look back on the history of the past 80 years and can't help but think what bullshit we could have avoided if we had just turned the German Army around and pushed on to Moscow like Patton had wanted to do.

I don't think that would have come out in our favor. Russia had twice as many men and just as good equipment as the US did. And its leaders were not concerned with deaths of their men, either.

Well, we also had nukes.

A quotation from “Daily Mail” UK, quoting Whitehouse Spokesman about Trump:

“Two nauseating, fearful pigs who hate what America stands for and whose every action is driven by their their own weakness and insecurity,' he began
'Rubbing their snouts together and celebrating as innocent people lose their lives,' he said of Trump and Putin
Bates shared an article about Trump telling a crowd at Mar-a-Lago Wednesday night that the Russian leader was 'pretty smart' ‘

I think this is a totally inappropriate statement!

To market to market to buy a fat pig.

He hates these cans.

Stronger than dirt.

Oh, the wonderful things Mr. Brown can do!

Thanks to the West’s environmentalists, those smug greenies who are more concerned with carbon output than world peace, this gangster controls much of the energy going to the European Union (E.U.). Per Statista, here are the countries most dependent on Russia for natural gas. The percentages tell us just how dependent:

North Macedonia (100 percent)
Finland (94 percent)
Bulgaria (74 percent)
Slovakia (70 percent)
Germany (49 percent)
Italy (46 percent)
Poland (40 percent)
France (24 percent).

It gets worse.

As of 2019, a full 27 percent of the European Union’s crude oil, 41 percent of its natural gas, and 47 percent of its solid fuel (mostly coal) come from Russia. Why?

Well, it’s very simple. Russia is not stupid. Putin is not stupid. He drills and digs and fracks while Western countries pat themselves on the back for closing coal mines, refusing oil leases, and shuttering nuclear power plants. And in doing so, even at the expense of giving the gangster Putin leverage over them, these Western countries pat themselves on the back for decreasing their carbon footprints and going green…

Well, that's comforting

HOLY MOSES: "Is Putin going to hit America with nukes?" Joe Biden: "I have no idea."

Your enemy threatens you with nukes, And you show feckless weakness.

Biden is a one trick pony. All he has is weakness and confusion.

I missed the speech. Any sanctions for Belarus or Moldova?

Why would we sanction Moldova? They're not an ally of Russia.

Russia has an ongoing military "peacekeeping" presence in the breakaway region of Transnistria on the Moldovan border with Ukraine, but they've basically been occupying that area with the support of the Transnistrian populace but against Moldova's wishes. Moldova and NATO have been trying to convince Russia to leave Moldovan territory for over two decades.

That'd be like sanctioning Ukraine because Russian troops had been occupying areas of the Donbas and Crimea.

This invasion has been a slow boil, so maybe it has been priced into the market already. And the fact that Keiv wasn't bombed flat made everyone feel a little more relaxed.

There's a Presidential aide that cusses every time that smirk appears on the potatoes face...that would be the guy tasked with keeping a fresh diaper on our imbecile.
