See - enough here for both sides to claim victory. and thats a good thing.
Balance and his BFF Putin get to say how shrill America & nato was and claim victory as Ukraine acknowledges they won't become part of Nato (something that was already apparent)
The yanks get to say they stood down Putin down and got him to blink through deterrence and delegitimizing any context for invasion.
It's as good an outcome as one could hope.
If Putin actually withdrawals (a big if), it seems he retreats with a far worse position than he had previously. Nato is far more united than before, Ukraine has far more weapons that before and closer regional security ties with individual nato members. It looks like putin blinked.
The real winner is NATO.
Its got more customers than ever before.
Investments in Euro tech companies is on the increase and New Intel Chip plant in the US.
The big winner is Krauss-Maffei Wegmann and French state-owned defence company Nexter Systems.
With Sweden and Finland likely to join next manufacturer's will be the next big winner.
Its a Buy and the software firms who build the next generation of tech for NATO's new buying list.
Software might will be the next big thing in Europe. Investment dollars in Germany in software is increasing.
And Charlie M has just stated a balanced portfolio if looking for egg in your beer...
Only drink French Champagne and not sure what Egg in Beer tastes like...
NZ market in for a rough next 6 months.
Always good to keep up to date...
