War threat in Ukraine

Interesting article in the WSJ over the weekend indicating the fed is now unlikely to bring in the previously expected rate rise in March because of the Ukrainian war. That is why the US market popped on Friday. So my guess is that this week may not be too bad on the ASX as I suspect the market is more concerned about a rate rise than the Ukrainian war.

Events in the past 50-60 yrs in our DEMOCRATIC country (Australia) and many others have led me to conclude that we the people vote for the 'dictator of their choice' every 3-4 yrs. Once in power they often do things without Majority Approval
e.g. Menzies who took us to war in Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia and Vietnam:
Howard who took us to war in Afghanistan and Iraq: and his Core and Non-Core Promises
and now Morrison/Dutton are threatening to take us to war against China (over Taiwan)

I liken the difference between Politicians of different political parties, like Lions vs Tigers, vs Panthers vs Cheetahs or Crocodiles vs Alligators vs Sharks: they all prey on the masses.
and whether you get bitten by a Black Snake, Brown Snake, Tiger Snake, Copperhead, you're $%#&&ed

Your politics is visible through your omission (take note of post #339)

Bob Hawke lied about sending forces to Gulf War

As for how you determine what a dictator is, there is plenty of easily accessible reference material.

a leader who has complete power in a country and has not been elected by the people​

The Australian voter always has the power to vote for their MP and government.
 
Unfortunately it seems that Ukraine war crisis could further escalate with potential to spread to neighbouring countries after Putin/Russia took offence to recent severe sanctions imposed against Russia - by threatening to use nuclear weapons against Ukraine/NATO alliance in retaliation. It was a clear threat :(

Crypto Gold price rising as we speak as gained +$40 just this morning...

There will be some wild swings this morning on the markets.

We will first to test Gold at $USD2000.

Time to cycle down to my tobacconist for some Cohibas without my bicycle helmet.

NATO/US alliance underestimate Putin as I knew he'd threaten nuclear warfare in retaliation when provoked... this could unfortunately get really ugly for the world (let's see what eventuates from the peace talks tomorrow).

That was the opinion of the Assassination Committee at the hotel last night.

Once the Secretary awakes and writes up the minutes it will be forwarded to Sochi.

Russian RT TV appears banned in Europe and most other countries but still goes on and on regardless in the UK. I wont post a link just in case it's the wrong thing to do in Australia.

we don't expect much else from Londongrad
 
Russia’s flagship carrier Aeroflot will suspend flights to Europe after the European Union closed its airspace to Russian aircraft for Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine.

The announcement came after the EU said Sunday it would close its airspace to Russian carriers, adding to a litany of sanctions imposed on Russia over its attack on Ukraine.

“Aeroflot is suspending flights of the European route network from February 28, 2022 until further notice,” the company said

It just keeps getting worse--Belarus has now renounced its non-nuclear status.

President Lukanhesko is claiming that they will only acquire nukes from Russia if the EU first moves nuclear weapons into Poland, although that could just be a cover to justify further military cooperation with Russia.

It'll be interesting to see how EU states react to this news now, and whether escalating tensions of a larger-scale conflict create a similar spike in market volatility as seen last week.
 
The impact of world sanctions on Russia is becoming clearer. Rouble down 30%. Banks likely to fail. Much international trade stopping.
I also saw that BP has sold out a 20% stake inan oil development with a Russian company.

Moscow braces for rouble to crash at least 25% as new sanctions hit

Russian currency expected to plunge in first day’s trading since Swift ban and ECB says state-owned Sberbank subsidiaries are set to collapse
