Geo Political Risk

[Bjauck]

Not the only parallel between Putin and Hitler. Hitler liked his hiding place in the mountains of Berchtesgaden (Obersalzberg).

Lets hope the world manages to deal faster and (for the world) less painful with Putin then it dealt with Hitler. Appeasement is clearly the wrong way to deal with monsters like those.

Putin has nuclear weapons. He is a thug but let’s hope he is content only with threats to use them. He seems to hold both his own people and others with little regard.

I am amazed that given what has transpired over the weekend (nuclear war threats ramped up/Swift settlement sanctions etc) that the NZX50 is currently higher!
