Congratulations communist ass kissers, Putin did not only attacked the Eastern part but the ENTIRE country.
You must feeling embarresed ore like a total idiot, isn't it?
Russia is a communist shithole, every (political) opposition, activists and journalists are geting killed and/ore arrested.
Remember Alexei Navalny (a good Russian), which Putin tried to kill but survived in Europe? When he came back at home he was immediately arrested with years of prison time which means Russian justice system is rotten to the bone.
Even Memorial Human Rights Center is banned...you know...communism and human rights does not go hand-in-hand.

You mock but you actually made an interesting point, for the first time from what I have seen. If we don't expel China from the global trade machine this situation will only get worse for people in Europe mostly. Russia is basically encroaching on European soil (see Belarus and Moldova also) and it is doing this by being bankrolled from mostly China (but also ironically partly using money from the west for gas & oil - 700 million dollars per day I heard, mental figures). Both Russia and China should be shunned by the rest of the world and that should happen very soon. Stop all imports, stop all trade. This is why I made sarcastic remarks about Joe Biden the other day. Sure it deviates from the BTC talk but what is happening will influence everything and everyone including our BTC. If we keep voting in weak ass geriatrics such as Joe Biden the west will fall. They even seem to be enablers many of these politicians by preventing fracking, preventing local pipelines and constantly preferring to get energy and supplies from bastard countries whose political leaders basically can't behave like normal human beings.

Message from my energy supplier: My combined gas and electricity bill will rise 45% from April 1st. ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif) Thinking about this some more, my energy supplier could have just msged me and said "Sorry but your pounds are now worth 45% less." ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) Or they could have said, "Thank you for your monetary support of the sanctions against Russia."

True, I have been surprised to see much of the UK's energy mix (about 50%) coming from wind the last week during this horrendous weather. But even so, the wind mills are probably made in China.

If we don't expel China from the global trade machine this situation will only get worse for people in Europe mostly.
The production was moved to China because of cheap labor cost several decades ago, a lot of industries in Europe and USA were shut down. Greedy corporations in the west made these choices, not China. For example; iPhones are made at Foxconn in China (Shenzhen) while the workers there have safety nets on their dorm buildings to avoid suicide attempts, mostly young people with 12 hour shifts and no hope for a better future in sight because the salaries are so low. After paying the factory Apple adds roughly 400% markup giving a retail price in the west around USD $999 (eg. latest model). Do you want to expel China? Build the factories in your country, employ workers, and after giving them lowest legal salaries, pay USD $4999 retail for the same iPhone. China currently produces 90.6% of the global supply of consumer electronics.

Let's be honest, Teslas (to supposedly reduce emissions) made in China cheaply and shipped over here is just completely insane.

Let's be honest, Teslas (to supposedly reduce emissions) made in China cheaply and shipped over here is just completely insane. I agree, not only that, we would probably have more advanced tech due to healthy competition between countries world wide, manufacturing process dictates what can be made to some extent. Perhaps one day Chinese workers will revolt, and I wouldn't want to be China government when that happens (Foxconn factory alone have over 1,290,000 employees).

This is the sign everyone has been waiting for.
Engineered war by TPTB, planned for over a year now.
With the Covid "crisis" winding down, and $1T of free BBB printer go brrr money getting shot down in the Senate, the Fed needed another valid excuse to NOT raise interest rates in any meaningful way, so now they will pin it on the Ukraine invasion. In March, they may not raise rates at all now, or if they do it will be by 0.25 bp at most. Then they'll continue to cite the ongoing conflict to not raise rates again all year long.
Moar easy cheap fiat for the wealthy elites. The Wall Streeters are buying the fk out of this market dip rn.
The stonk market will slowly recover to be back in the black by year's end.
I put the btc price to be trading somewhere in the range of $45k-55k by year's end.

Big day for the gold bugs.
And very possibly one of the last times Bitcoin dresses up like a tech stock.
In fact this might be the ultimate catalyst for Bitcoin.

Peter Schiff right now: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fc.tenor.com%2FPrRde-GEmfUAAAAd%2Flit-its.gif&t=665&c=3TZuXSm_z8L-Ag) Peter Schiff later: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fc.tenor.com%2FP1ikmkAaJ8sAAAAd%2Fmeh-grandpa.gif&t=665&c=K0X8o8AIuLqBTg) TBH I actually don't mind listening to Schiff so much, I disagree with him on gold but he's a hell of a lot more bearable than 99% of the crypto YouTubers.

Yeah, it must feel nice seeing gold not even back above its Aug 2020 price. Back when bitcoin was ~$10k.
