I wonder if Poland was getting pressure by us behind the scenes to give the planes to Ukraine directly. They just turned the table on us and can say hey we tried.

Looks like payback for decades of Polish jokes. They offer the US a bunch of Migs free ... as long as we in turn give them to Ukraine. Poland is off the hook, and the WH idiot is sitting there with a big turd sandwich on his plate.

Russia’s Stock Market to Remain Closed Friday

There will be no stock trading on the Moscow Exchange on Friday, as the closure of Russia's stock market reaches the two-week mark.
In a notice posted on its website late Thursday evening, the Russian Central Bank said there would be no stock trading on the exchange the next day. The Moscow Exchange's currency market will be open.

Stock trading on the Moscow Exchange has been shut since Feb. 25—the day after Russian forces invaded Ukraine—although the exchange's currency market has reopened.

The market's closure has effectively frozen trading in the shares of Russia's largest companies. Following the imposition of tough Western sanctions on Moscow, the price of London-listed global depository receipts of companies such as Sberbank plunged into the pennies, before trading in the companies' GDRs was suspended by the London Stock Exchange.

You guys can call me stupid or dumb all you want. I've moved the majority of my money into fixed income investments and will stay they until the mess that the Biden administration created is over.

If your argument is that this situation will worsen, that the market hasn't fully accounted for how bad energy prices are going to get, inflationary pressures etc....then you may be right.


If your argument is that the market hasn't adjusted for the **** show that will be Russia market the day they re-open then you are wrong

Is my claim based on facts that Russia (Soviet Union) invested far more into biological warfare than the US? Yes, you are welcome to research the Soviet Union's biological weapons program. It dwarfed the US' program in terms of investment and duration. Who did we bomb back to the Stone Age for their biological weapons program? I assume you are referring to Iraq and no we didn't bomb them back to the Stone Age but I agree that was a stupid war as is the current war in Ukraine.

The current war in Ukraine isn't stupid. It's tragic, but it isn't stupid. Putin took a calculated risk that can secure the Russian's biggest security concerns for decades. He's been very reserved in the past when things could have escalated out of control. I think he looked at the current geopolitical situation and pushed all his chips to the center of the table: The events I'm talking about are Merkel retiring, the US "electing" a geriatric idiot, the Ukraine president being a romcom actor whose only qualification is that he played a president on TV, and the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. I suspect Putin didn't think Ukraine and the West couldn't effectively garner a coalition against his actions. It appears, however, that he greatly miscalculated the Ukrainians will to fight.

It's all cumulative, the Russian market, the war, energy prices, inflation and the fact that we will be in a recession by the end of the year.

Hot potato... will somebody please take Poland's aircraft. They are like pound puppies looking for a home. Maybe they can give them to the Taliban?

I want one. The MIG-29 is a nasty looking beast. Of course, I can't afford shipping and handling ... or the cost of flying one, but it would make a heck of a statement sitting in the driveway.
