    I hope the oligarchs like eating turnips and building mansions with concrete. It's probably all they will be able to get under sanctions.

    5 russian aircraft shot down.

    Russia is of course denying it like they covered up their corona numbers.

    So the transparency of the Butcher there for all to see .
    I think we all know he's referring to nuclear weapons of which they have the largest arsenal of any country in the world and of course if he uses them we know what comes next. It feels "absolutely wonderful" to be living under the threat of global nuclear war. I was too young to understand the threat of the Cuban Missile crisis...nearly didn't make it to my first birthday https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuban_Missile_Crisis. Here we are 60 years later with the same overt threat of global nuclear war that's never been more starkly portrayed in my lifetime since 1962...but I can't bring myself to indulge in more than a few minutes self pity because my heart goes out to all the poor Ukrainians facing a heinous invasion, massive loss of life and injury and a very uncertain future for the survivors. Truly heartbreaking stuff.
    Its a truly black day.

    Yeah...good time to have already hoarded lots of cash...something both you and I have been saying for quite some time now.
    No hurry to deploy that cash is there ! This is the black swan event many saw coming but very few took proactive steps to protect their portfolio from.
