since NATO thinks they are going to sanction Russia into submission ?

this is getting so big so fast

the Russian economy could end up booming

just by emergency war production alone
That but who doesn't think that they didn't make out on the dip in the Dow Jones last week. Some reports are that the Russians pulled in a Trillion to insulate themselves against the sanctions that they knew would come from this.

The current Fed Heads are sleeping at the wheel and everyone knows this but people who get all their information from Corporate Media. This is a shock to no one who has been following along and has even a minimal grasp on history.

Smitty, have you seen this guy?



My wife is thinking that he is the bee's knees. I could only make it a half hour in because he was talking about how the US are the "moral" people who will have to clean this up and he brought up Iraqis throwing babies out of incubators. So I wrote him off and stopped watching much to her chagrin.

They are not fucking around. This is not some tepid kinda sorta assault. This is what "Fuck around and Find out" looks like.

No rush. Not even a response expected.

Shit is surreal.

Thanks for the reports that you have dropped here. I do appreciate them. It is insight into a world where I have no eyes and so far it has born out to be the beacon in the fog.

NATO has deployed 40,000 troops to Romania ?

in peacetime that would sound like a lot

but not now

that is not NATO responding

that is NATO staying well on the sidelines

in the face of real deal Russia coming with everything they got

Could NATO even finance a WW III? I mean they could just print the money, like what has been going on, but how would that not accelerate the collapse of all of the financial sector?
