Ukrainian marine sacrifices himself to blow up bridge, Ukrainian Military says

Ukrainian marine allegedly blows himself up to destroy bridge Russian forces could cross it. Vitaliy Volodymyrovych Skakun is being remembered as a hero.

www.foxnews.com

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine released the statement Friday via social media, reporting that Vitaliy Volodymyrovych Skakun, a battalion engineer, had voluntarily undertaken a mission to mine out the support structure of the Genichesky Bridge near the Kyiv before Russian forces could cross it. Shakun did not have time to flee the blast zone before detonating the explosives, and informed his battalion that he would be blowing it up regardless.

This Ukraine war crisis ain't over as only just started flaring/heating up - regardless of US market's pumping higher overnight with Dow up +835 points & Gold down -$36 at roughly US $1,890 it will only be short lived.

We are on the verge of escalating tensions & a bigger conflict developing.. as this occurs/eventuates we all know how fast gold price shoots up - I'll be topping up on my Goldie's on Monday.

Last opportunity to get into Gold sub US $1,900 imo as the so called "King of the North" i.e. Putin ramps up his agression in conjunction with China against the West.

Watch for military action & takeover of Taiwan to occur soon imo

Watch for Iran vs Israel tensions & escalation to occur soon - yes Putin will step in to take action against Israel ("King of the North" will surround Israel to destroy it)... watch for war to extend into the rest of Europe

Watch for hunger & famine along with tens of millions of refugees fleeing from escalating war/conflicts around the globe.

Watch for our monetary system in the West to collapse - only a matter of time with all the debt the US has that FED will ultimately fail big time. It will come sudden and as a shock - then you'll see Gold shine brighter than ever before!!!

We are on the verge of escalating tensions & a bigger conflict developing..

So long as Germany keeps blocking certain NATO actions then this may not escalate.

Putin is gone crazy possible unstable. The next step would be to really test nato with Latvia/Estonia who are nato members but have Russian minority populations.
Russian provocators have been drumming it that western soldiers will not die on eastern soil.

If this is true his next move would be former Eastern bloc countries.

Seems unthinkable at this time

I’m not convinced that the US share market is going to get hit as bad as the European market, if anything, European investors may transfer their wealth out of their markets and into US and others.

Everything looks overpriced to me. It has for a long time. Who knew the possible black Swan would be war.

Biden says the US sanctions will come into effect in 30 days…no wonder Putin isn’t afraid of the west

Add to that their reluctance to exclude Russia from SWIFT, although Italy has now agreed and Germany is considering it.

 

[divs4ever]

Mostly peaceful?

WELL !! ... by Antifa standards and US MSM descriptions it might count as an information spreading campaign

they might consider their own version of CHAZ ( with a K for Kiev ) that seemed acceptable in some political circles

if Russia is not trading in US ( and probably not in euros in the near term ) why would they need SWIFT , it's only transactions between robber banks anyway , i'm sure Russia will sell for gold if asked

 

[Logique2]

This just in from CNN,
(with a nod to the Peoples Republic of Canada):

'..A mostly peaceful invasion,
however authorities remain vigilant in case of Russian truckers honking their horns, or elderly Russian women moving about with walking frames..'

Germany is also stopping a number of neighbouring countries providing Ukraine with military hardware

Because it cuts Russia off entirely from the financial world. That is, all aspects of Russian society, which in turn would result in political pressure.

Germany argues that there is too much collateral damage to Russian society by targeting SWIFT, but the cynic in me thinks that they don't really care about the Russian citizens - they just want to protect their access to Russian oil & gas.
Interestingly, the other excuse that is trotted out is that targetting SWIFT is too harsh a first-line measure. To their credit, the US & UK were pushing for exclusion on day 1.

The approaches to date have been piecemeal and weak. What do they have to show for it? Putin is now at Ukraine's capital, and although the Ukranian's have managed to successfully defend themselves to date, how is the global community expecting them to continue to do so when Russia has captured key airports, has warships in the black sea, soldiers ready to Ukraine's north, a DPR/LPR-wannabe group in Moldova to Ukraine's west, and the capital surrounded.

All in 2 days.

Keep in mind the US took 3 weeks to get to Baghdad with the assistance of aircraft carriers and regular bombing runs (1000 per day)...

 

[MovingAverage]

Why Germany is Undermining NATO Unity on Russia

 

[waterbottle]

Looks like now Cyprus is also on board with SWIFT ban.
That leaves Hungary +/- Germany.

Let me say that
"This Captain is in Full support of Excluding Russia from the "SWIFT"
But More importantly
I agree that ALL of Putin's wealth should be seized .

This includes ALL of his 50% silent interests/ holdings with his good mates "The Oligarchs"
IMHO They never got their 50% unless he got his 50%

Are the Oligarchs also responsible for these War Crimes
I Say YES!
and all their assets should be SEIZED along with Putin's Wife's, his Children's, his family's and even everyone he has ever talked to in the street

Let's See what China does next?
Crikey!
IMHO He is a silent partner of ~50% in each and every Oligarch's Monopoly
Just ask yourself
How do you think Putin's OLIGARCHS rose to the Level of OLIGARCH?

All I am Saying is
"Seize all the assets of the Oligarchy ALSO!"
