Russians are buyin? Rubla is down 30% today.

Real fun will start when the dollar and the euro get down 30% in a single day.

Don't worry, Putin will tell you what the price of the dollar is and will force you to sell it at that price.

Russian authorities told Russian exporting companies to sell 80% of their foreign currency revenues on the market, Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said.

Sheer CCCP awesomeness.

I was expecting an uncontrolled collapse of ruble but looks like they diversified over third of their foreign reserves to China/gold. At least the complete ban from SWIFT is off the table, no one wants to touch gas/oil and Nordstream1. Russia bumps its interest rate to 20% and imposes foreign currency controls, but with oil over $100 they're in surplus, so looks like we might be going to good old war of attrition

I don't think too many people would agree that it's performing well.  Their crypto holdings valued in ruble must be an interesting chart to look at with regards to the war.  Kind of scary to think about war as a money making opportunity, but I guess that's what has been happening for probably as long as civilization has existed.  Hopefully Bitcoin can help bring an end to that sort of foolishness someday.  I'd hate to think that World War III is set off primarily because some politician wants to retire but would like to give his Lockheed Martin stock a nice boost before he does.

Today, Marty Bent released his 2 hour+ Tales from the Crypt podcast interview with Paul London, and London makes some good points regarding how both the motivations of Russia and the likely outcome of the USA's seeming heavy-handed-ness with financial sanctions may end up causing some acceleration of the dollar demise that comes faster than anticipated.  

London also describes that some of Russia's most recent missile technology developments that the USA denies , but ends up painting the USA in pretty handicapped position when it comes to playing any kind of nuclear card or any kind of direct-combat game with Russia.

Of course, since this is a Tales from the Crypt podcast there ends up being wee bit of a bitcoin angle to the discussion (at the end), even though London does not seems to be very bullish ab out bitcoin's role or likely fate.  London seems to have some beliefs that governments have an ability to regulate Bitcoin into oblivion, so maybe London's current errors in thinking causes him to be more of a pre-coiner rather than a no-coiner? perhaps?  perhaps?

Some buy in..some dont...dont care...I do. I have lived long enough to see the impact of humanity on this globe. Verify. Crosscheck and find other sources...go do your own research. Please do what you can to help our Mother.

All the politicians and the nation states they represent tell you that the economy is bad..we cant afford basic infrastructure..we cant afford to lower your taxes..we cant afford to provide free quality medical or education for everyone and anyone.

Yet bombs, tanks and weapons of war always seem to find ways to the top of budgets.

Its bullshit. There is more than enough resources on Earth for every man, woman and child alive today to have a quality life. For their children and grandchildren and all the future generation to come until the Sun eventually burns the outer shell of the planet off.

There is the manufacturing ability and infrastructure already built and ready to roll out. All that needed is the political will to make it happen.

I dream and pray that I live to see the day that someone sets foot upon Mars. That a self sustaining colony..nay...a sovereign state is established that extends our reach to the outer planets. That Homo Sapiens somehow escapes this gravity well we call the Solar system and is able to explore the shear grandeur of a hundred billion stars called the Milky Way Galaxy. Its there...the chance. I dont care to calculate the odds but just the fact that there is a chance fill me with indescribable excitement.

But that wont be for generations if at all unless we figure out how to just do better. It doesnt havent to be perfect..we just have to do better. So you ask why waste resources trying to get to space...to get back to the Moon and step foot upon planet. Its the same answer as above. There is enough to do both..to do all of it. To make a brighter and more exciting future for all.

Our home. Like it or not this is it. There is only one plan B.

 TL;DR
It's an old clip of Trump (2018) slamming NATO at a summit - more specifically Germany wrt NATO contributions and their cozy relationship/dependence on Russia for energy.

 even longer clip at youtube

... it all seems like a video game until Putin sinks an aircraft carrier and nukes Hawaii in a limited tit-for-tat to 'limited' financial theft games

... you want to play geopolitics chess with the land of grand-masters? eff around and find out idiots

... the West elites needed the invasion to distract from the crimes of COVID ... so Putin gave them an invasion ... where's Fauci, Dzarsak and the bioweapons crims by the way?

Pump for ants happening so far today. I’m not getting my hopes up but it’s better than going down. Fingers crossed this move has legs but I’m cautious, not getting my hopes up just yet.

Hey WO! Asia is sleeping right now. They will be surprised when they woke up. Two days ago a guy was talking about BTC and he said he waiting for buying BTC at $25K. I was sad and afraid at the same time because I am down a lot. If BTC falls to $25K, I would hammer my balls and sleep.

Is it any news effect BTW?
Well, let's aim for $45K

Hey, I am that guy and I am somewhat still sticking to my ideal plan.  
Never said it's going to $25k in 2 days. Enjoy the pump.

If you never said you are waiting to buy BTC at $25K, You are not that guy. Also, I didn't mean that someone said BTC will going to be $25K in two days.
