Well I am pretty certain the threat of Ukraine getting nuclear weapons with a neo-nazi infested government is worse than the stock market collapsing by 50%. I am also certain average Russians have a lot of stocks. Well not that.
SOOOOO wise, Russia saying that she will protect herself if endangered by miltary systems next to its borders, and willing to use miltiary force, so the best thing is to put nuclear weapons to its borders.I think Russia will leave Poland alone for now.
What Russia wants is a buffer zone. Poland is already a part of NATO with actual American forces stationed there. (not that the Americans will stay for a fight)
If NATO wants to be extra safe, they can deploy tactical nuclear weapons in Poland.
So Russia didnt have in place circuit breakers? In US its impossible for stocks to drop 50% in a day, once it goes over 15% trading haltsYes, I am sure compared with the threat of Ukraine getting nuclear weapons with a neo-nazi infested government is worse than the stock market collapsing by 50%. I am also certain average Russians have a lot of stocks.
People are just hanging onto every indication Russia is losing, they need that vindication. I get that.This is war. Markets mean nothing in a war
Dont mind please. Western cope will be about the "sToCK maRkEt" now lolYes, I am sure compared with the threat of Ukraine getting nuclear weapons with a neo-nazi infested government is worse than the stock market collapsing by 50%. I am also certain average Russians have a lot of stocks.
The rouble is still falling despite Russian Central Bank interventions. I expect it to reach 100+ by next week, the Russian economy is a goner.
Putin better make it worth the while
You mean Sweden and Finland will be brave enought to join the NATO after all of this ?Russia is willing to eat those sanctions, crash the economy, let Sweden and Finland officially join NATO and much more.
We'll have to see if it was worth it.
Time for China to enter and buy ultra cheap Russian assets?The rouble is still falling despite Russian Central Bank interventions. I expect it to reach 100+ by next week, the Russian economy is a goner.
If there will Swift sanction, I may see Lithuania, and Latvia and Estonia so Russia could merge with Królewiec. Estonia has big Russian population. Poland is too big, and right next to Germany. Maybe tactical nuke if Russia won't have anything to lose. I will observe and better leave the big city. Fortunately I am close to Slovakia and Czech border.Problem is the sanctions increase the freedom of actions, not decrease it.
Every sacntion decrease the available tools can be used.
Now, either the NATO change strategy, or Poland will be the next de-naczificated .
Poland is in NATO. While Biden can sidestep around Ukraine saying that the US has no obligations for military intervention, a direct attack on NATO ally would force them to act otherwise it is as good as NATO getting dissolved.Why ?
What could happens ?
Russia will be bared from SWIFT ?
So big deterence.
