The Brink of War?

Due to the never ending record breaking weather events over the past 24 months, I'm totally fine with oil being this high. Seemed like every month or two there was a once in 500 year catastrophic weather event.

Can't get off oil for the welfare of the planet? Fine, do it because you have too or else your economy goes to ruins.

Russian Ruble = $0.00714

1 USD = 140 RUB

I'm no economist, but there's some people getting really fucken rich right now.

It's Forex. Here it is much lower - 105 (moex.com): it was rocketing, but after eliminating VAT in gold trade it went down. Minimal amount of gold to buy or to sell is 10g. So a lot of people sold rubles and USD and converted savings into gold. Russian reserves of gold are 2200+ ton. Enough for to keep currency somehow stable even under sanctions.

Reason why ruble is so cheap at Forex is simple: Russia just announced what investors from countries which implementing sanctions will receive dividends in rubles, and they can't sell rubles in Russia.

Why not? Contracts are contracts, and Syrians have experience in war, also they have experience with fanatics and guerillas. They will be very suitable at post-war time.

Matt, if you want to read here funny things: current president Zelensky and formerly president Poroshenko each forming government-in-exile. What do you think: 2 governments are better than 1 in exile?

I think Ukraine is in for a long, hard and brutal time due to the delusional grandeurs of one man.

Thirty Russian helicopters destroyed in Ukraine?

Ukraine claimed its forces have destroyed 30 Russian helicopters in an attack on an airfield near the occupied southern city of Kherson.

"At night, Ukrainian soldiers shelled the Chornobaivka airfield near Kherson. The occupiers decided to partially deploy their fleet there. Thirty enemy helicopters were destroyed, as well as manpower and equipment," Ukraine's Marine Command said in a statement on Facebook, as translated by Ukrainian news agency Ukrinform.

Yeah, apparently Eukranian pilots are launching air strikes using air strips in neighboring countries.

Putin has already given EUrope shit for allowing Ukraine to use its airstrips, but I don't think anyone is really listening at this time.

"shelling" comes from artillery.
"bombing"" sometimes comes from planes.
