Now, what will be interesting is Russia's next move. If the Ukrainian advance continues, then what will they do? Actually declare war? Gonna be an interesting few weeks.
“More and more companies are telling us that they no longer have a supply contract for electricity or gas at all. The tap is turned off in the truest sense of the word,” DIHK President Peter Adrian told the RND newsroom.“But without energy, no economy can run.”
But that isn't what happened at all. LOL
The United States/Europe supposedly imposed sanctions but not really. Europe was putting loop holes in there, why? They don't have supply, at that point they had supply but they are paying 5-10 times as much. All Russia has done is closed the loop holes themselves on an escalating basis. The problem isn't so much 2022, its 2023 and beyond. And Europe isn't addressing the problem... so the problem is going to get worse.
With that said, I think we probably hit peak prices for the short-term (expect OPEC to cut on the oil side)... as we're all probably heading to recession at the best and depression as a possibility.... global reset can't be discounted completely.[/QUOTE
A stronger military and a diversified economy, clearly.
Putin doesn’t like their strategy, either, since he keeps sacking his generals.Obvious they do have a strong military, you just don't like their strategy, clearly. As far as the economy, not sure what the problem is... they'll have plenty of food and heat for the winter. LOL
Obviously they do have considerable economic weight as they have more or less forced what is effectively a $2+ trillion margin call on their neighbors this week.
The economic war is only getting started, we'll see how it turns out... the outcome to the Ukraine is more or less known. (not good)

They probably have two option... put more dog **** in or the more immediate deadly approach. I would imagine move the Malkas closer to the front with low yields, but one can't discount the possibility of inflecting a Hiroshima moment in Kiev with low yield. The low yield neutron bomb approach might make sense as well there by cutting off support to the front. The possibilities are kind of endless with what they have available.
Three Words That Describe The Russo-Ukrainian War
Interesting article, basically what I have been saying for a week. People will most likely continue to die there for some time.
Ukraine's Top General Doesn't Rule Out 'Limited' Nuclear War
Okay, so what's your plan bro?
The war is now onto Europe/Germany.
"Without Energy, No Economy Can Run": German Companies Warn Of Disaster As Electricity, Gas Taps Are Turned Off
That sounds familiar. LOL Modern civilization needs energy, and cheap energy.... otherwise, back to the caves you go Germans. Maybe you guys could hang out with the Ukrainians in the cave and use bear fur as clothing.
Boy I don't know if I can see even a small nuclear strike. I think that Putin knows the ramifications.
I think we all know what lead to the rise of Nazi Germany before World War II. It was something somewhat similar to this. Winter will be interesting.
If I were russia, I would be terrified of my own nukes. being that many of thier rockets have already returned to sender.
LMAO I’m sure you specifically remember that. I specifically remember a bunch of Pootin ass kissers make excuses for unrest growing in Transnistria prodded by Russia as Russia approached Odessa. Seems we specifically remember it different CurlyI specifically remember Dallas and some of his other trolls wishing Moldova would invade Transnistria and take that land back lol. He wants to deny that along with the multiple tantrums he's thrown as well. Although his tantrums are mild compared to the ones Zeppelin throws.
What he forgets and more than likely doesn't even know is there was already a conflict over this and Transnistria won.
I don’t think that idiot Pootin would go nuclear unless Russia was itself was invaded. And I have to believe some resistance would finally show up if Crimea comes back in play. Of course idiot Pootin considers Crimea Russian now soooooo….Boy I don't know if I can see even a small nuclear strike. I think that Putin knows the ramifications.

How is that Polish invasion of Ukraine working out Moe?Poland sliding in more than just the tip right now...
Ukrainian parliament passes law on special status of Polish citizens
Leading the way in pointing out the flawed logic of the plan, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto pointed out the blowback would be worse than the sting aimed at Russia. "If price restrictions were to be imposed exclusively on Russian gas, that would evidently lead to an immediate cut-off in Russian gas supplies. It does not take a Nobel Prize to recognize that," he said.
Echoing prior words of Hungarian leader Viktor Orbán, he said "The plan that would impose a price cap exclusively on Russian gas coming via pipelines is entirely against European and Hungarian interests."
But back to reality, Hungary's Szijjarto said it best upon entering the meeting: "This morning … we will do our utmost to make Brussels finally understand that gas supplies are not an ideological or political issue, but one of hard-core physical reality."
