Why have all those stock markets "plummeted" though?

I've always loved the way the stock/Forex people talk. Every movement's termed in shock/horror superlatives. :D


Stock crashes are also great opportunities to make money especially for those who be stocked every month.

Which is what I do.

I literally buy every month through a fund management system.

And I still buy them. The strategy has been for literally many years and for many years to come. Only thing is that when I approach retirement I might need to reduce risk.

So only thing now is that there is plenty of value to buy in cheap. And when the market recovers it means higher gains and the market always recovers even if the war continues.

Syrian fighters may be soon at war beside the Russians, in Ukraine.

That would be an act of way which may result in an Israeli invasion of Syria.

Good luck with that one.

At this point, Pootin is Ukraine’s number 1 weapon supplier. Who would have thought? :D

Can we safely say that Ukraine has Pootin’s balls between its thumb and index finger?

Pootin hasn’t been quite himself lately.

That sleazy arrogant smirk seems to have vanished.

Maybe he needs a holiday. Maybe visit all the canon fodder he sent to Ukraine to die for no good reason.

Oh wait! That might not be such a good idea for Pootin. I reckon that if he had the balls to front up to the Russian army in Ukraine, he would be a dead man.

The US and Australia use to do that in Vietnam. Many of our own were shot quite deliberately by own own soldiers and blame the enemy.

I reckon their are thousands of Russian soldiers who would love to put a bullet into Pootin right now.

That’s what happens when you send your military into a foreign country with no planning and no logistics only resulting in them being sitting ducks. That’s what they are. Just targets and cannon fodder.

I double dare Pootin to visit the front lines.

Personally I think it will be the last thing he will ever do. He would be a dead Pootin.

When you send an army in to battle, a leader must always be prepared to stand with these kids. It’s fundamental and critical. But when you send them from the Kremlin or whilst sitting on a gold toilet, you better make sure that your decisions are such that actually gives your boys a fighting chance.

Pootin won’t face his soldiers because he is a coward.

This Pootin is no leader. More of a coward. Zalensky however is larger than life and comparable to Churchill now.

Imagine this scenario.. Ukraine is taken with its oil reserves…. No Ukrainian gas to Europe.. Turkey is pushed to reveal its reserves in the Black Sea. Putin sets his sights on Turkey. The old man on The mountain knew what he was seeing

And back to reality we crash.

What do you think the reality of all that is with the Russian military unable to move as they are stuck waiting for the next Javelin to hit them?

Now imagine this scenario. The Russian military turns on the Kremlin and goes after Fuhrer Pootin?
Nowhere would Pootin run off to?

Does he have a Bunker. The west will send the cyanide capsules with instructions. At this point we don’t think he will even get that right. Hitler at least did.
