romad1 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 While true. Today will hit some portfolios hard. I was really surprised that the market corrected toward the end of the week. The negotiations might help today. Be that as it may, keep hurting Vladdie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on the general tone of reporting, it’s as though the Wicked Witch of the West released the monkeys saying “Fly, my pretties!” and they end up flying splat into the castle wall.

I think I can raid the couch cushions for the equivalent $3.75 US to take the other side of that. 😁 I do this, of course, because I’m a terrible gambler and I lose practically every bet I make, but this I would be glad to cough up on March 31.

Heck, they’d probably like to create their own crypto, make it the official currency, and rig it so they can directly and capriciously control their people’s individual wealth. Of course he’s going to have to get out of this quagmire intact, first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To go further, the accuracy of the information was spot on. I defended our intelligence after Iraq, even as I admitted some major issues. But overall, that, plus many other things over the years, had soured me a bit. I was definitely skeptical of not only things you posted, but what I was seeing on much of our MSM related to 'intelligence sources'. I will say this has restored some faith in our intelligence. To the original point, Biden and his administration get props for using that intelligence so well.

romad1 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 The UN session ongoing right no (looking at BBC) is really interesting. The Ukrainian ambassador dropped some morally righteous hammers. one of 10 sessions like this in the 70 year history of the UN. The Russian translator is struggling to keep up with the Russian ambassador. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
