That at least gives him an out on Crimea. Cuban missle crisis was resolved with a concession so both sides could take a win. I think we need to put something on the table unless we believe hell be removed from power before he can escalate to point of no return | ||

US intelligence seems to know Putin’s plans before Putin’s generals do. I’m not super worried. | ||

Opening at 3:00 seems like it would just concentrate their force and panic selling even worse, so I'm not too sure about this one, but given the better documented delays already seen it is possible. | ||

Putin wants about half of Ukraine, he wants it split into east and west as Koreas'. who thinks he will settle for Crimea(which was his anyway) is living in another universe. | ||

I get crazy anxiety thinking of escalation past the point of no return regarding the rest of the West involvement.\ Edit: Are we allowed to post news streams? Its DW News livestream, which Ive found to be the most informative on recent updates if youre like me and dont watch cable.+ Show Spoiler + | ||

I want that in Germany as well. We're money launderers paradise at the moment. I watch the english DW news stream as well mostly, they also got banned in Russia earlier this year as a retaliation for us banning RT. Which is another reason for me to trust them. | ||

I think he was probably right, and that this is a symbolic move from London and nothing will actually come of it in terms of results. | ||

It's what people said about Germany and yet they've now supported suspending nord stream 2, disconnecting Russia from Swift etc. All things which hurt them (and my own country actually) a lot. | ||

Don't forget that we once had a global recession because some banks in the US made bad loans for buying houses, which doesn't feel like it'd have that kind of effect until you see how much of the rest of the market depends on these things. If there's one lesson from both covid and now this I think it is that the 'markets rule everything' era is over. There's seems to be a shift now, very quickly that security and political goals take priority and that if you need to make resources available it can be done, and what finance has to say about it is secondary. As long as the nukes don't fly, the world may have changed for the better. | ||

As long as the nukes don't fly, the world may have changed for the better. Yeah, obviously this is horrible situation, but it it can have positive outcomes. | ||

The money printing starts I gues. I take that is a sign, that the sanctions against russia are working. With that I m hoping for more Protests among the russian people against the War of Putin. Source (in German): https://www.tagesschau.de/newsticker/liveblog-ukraine-krieg-montag-101.html | ||

I have an Assyrian friend here in Australia whos family is in Nova Kakhovka (around 300-400 households of Assyrians). Some of her family have no water/electricity/network and have been stranded in their basements for 5 days so far. They are too scared to leave their house | ||
