Might be true.

Russia asks for Help FT reports

I don’t see how that is possible, if true, they are in sad shape.

Then again....

how the phug can they be running out of weaponry in the 3rd week?

I don't doubt that China would help them but that is a big economic risk for them.

And the plot thickens.

China and Russia are going to gang up and destroy the petro dollar.... you better hope they aren't successful, your company will go tits up

“US Officials Say”. Like there is any credibility there.

So now we're going to be in a proxy war with China through Ukraine and Russia- awesome.

I'm certain it won't just be mine and who would hope for that anyways?

It makes perfect sense for Putin to draw China into his Ukraine annexation foray, via proxy.

I doubt that he’s feigning weakness or actually needs armaments. It would be a political coup for Putin if China agreed and pitched in.

From a website I've been monitoring, Old Poot has an inventory of 3,000 or so fighters, yet less than 70 have been deployed in UA.

Am I the only one asking WHY? (and don't even start with the ole "Poot is such a swell guy, he's going easy on UA". Ole Poot has NEVER, EVER gone easy on anything or anyone when he had a choice).

If you care to learn about money and what constitutes money and the manipulation of money it is a fascinating rabbit hole. I will try and hit on a high point to get you started in the right direction.
The Federal Reserve controls the USD (reserve currency) everybody has to buy USD in order to purchase many of the worlds commodities, the (petro dollar) we can simply print money to buy things, the rest of the world has to actually work and BE PRODUCTIVE in order to buy the commodities that make the world go around. They are at a huge disadvantage and hate us for that. They see us as fat, corrupt and spoiled.
They are dying to knock us off that pedestal. Therefore they are waging an economic war with us as they see us as being very vulnerable right now. And we are. Our debt is 126% of GDP.
Russia's debt is 18% of GDP with a 13% flat tax income tax rate. Our government is chocking the productive with tax's and regulation, we can no longer compete.
Our free ride is coming to an end and I strongly suspect you aren't even remotely prepared. You will be caught flat footed and be screwed, time to wake up.
You are asking if I wish this to happen and the answer is complicated, yes and no. I have spent years preparing, the current system works against me as it does for foreign countries. I am all for sound money... free of manipulation, because I earn my money, I do not participate nor benefit from the current ponzi scheme. That being said when this happens the country I love will suffer greatly, the bill must be paid, no free lunch as they say.
A free civilization cannot thrive and prosper with manipulated currency. This is why the middle class is being decimated. You are very vulnerable, more than most is my guess.
Do some research, it may open your eyes... but probably not because I suspect you are a "normie" and suffer from normalcy bias.

If they really wanted to unleash economic Hell on the US, they could coordinate dumping their US treasuries on the open market and cause our interest rates to skyrocket.

Oh and one more thing KWFA the government came full force against small business with the covid bullshit and shut a bunch of them down, mine survived and I have prospered because I was prepared.
So I am not imagining things.
I cannot alter the course of any of this, and I did not cause any of this, I just adapt and survive.... I actually plan to prosper, and so far I am, even beyond my wildest dreams and I have only just begun.

They have already started that with short term treasuries, not as easy with long term, but they aren't buying anymore. The fed is, it's called monetizing your debt, causes inflation... gee who'd a thunk
The real money play is when Russia starts selling energy and only accept gold as payment.... then the USD collapses .... coming soon I believe

well good on ya I guess

Supposedly China owns less than 10% of our debt. They can unwind the short term debt rather quickly but not the longer term debt instruments.

You’re right about what it would cause even with a slow but concerted unwinding .

I suspected my words would be wasted on you.... so carry on

A clue... they are several years down that path.... nothing slow about it at this stage... buckle up butter cup
