Flame throwers? Is this the 1940s? One thing that is surely a surprise to Putin is that much of the war is being streamed live on social media. You can't hide your actions anymore. The USSR that he knows thrived in the shadows. That is gone now, especially when you invade a free country.

you have not seen the video of the flame thrower weapon? It’s a poor description of the actual weapon.
One of the few benefits of social media and 24/7 news. Much of this is being filmed and sent out to the world.
It’s a thermobaric MLRS. The “flamethrower” comes from an oddity in Russian translation.
When the oligarchs get their yachts confiscated and assets frozen.
Seriously though, Biden could use this as an oppurtunity to push the US towards EV's.
If Ukraine's defense holds up I think the Market will go on a run. I find Ukraine's performance here very inspiring, and that will inspire the market.

Make sure you are in the market if Putin takes a forced "vacation". S&P going $5000+.
Even Germany is getting on board:
I still have my 10% in cash. And maybe another 10% in some really defensive stocks, like T. Only recent sale was PYPL.

Don't fall for it! It's a trap. Remember the Red Wedding. :)Legit reports of peace talks
Ukraine agrees to hold peace talks with Russia at Belarus border
A diplomatic meeting is to take place in an unspecified location on the Ukraine-Belarus border
Ukrainians agree to meet for talks with Russia on Belarus border
Move comes after Ukrainian leader Zelensky initially rejected Belarus as meeting location and proposed Israel as a neutral broker, and as Putin orders nuclear forces on high alert
Eh I think people forget how much of the developed world are NOT unified against Putin. Iran, China, and India are key players in the outcome of this. The EU would not be able to withstand cutting off oil trade with Russia if Iran were to also cut the EU off from oil. I have a feeling nations are going to be putting chips on the table real soon. Everyone is going to try to absorb short term economic pain in an attempt the shuffle the geopolitical deck big time.
All this crap and then Putin is going to agree to peaceful resolution? I could see Putin using talks as a simple distraction for Ukrainian President and way to get him out of Kyiv.Legit reports of peace talks

Maybe Puty is delaying to get fuel into Ukraine. I read military consultants saying the Russian operation was poorly planned and supply lines are crippled. A lot of Russian vehicles were abandoned on roads - no fuel. The local residents couldn't find fuel either because the evacuation sucked it all up, Russian soldiers seemed legit bewildered about what was going on. Personally I've thought the original operation wasn't meant to be a national takeover invasion. Early successes and the lack of assistance for Ukraine might have tempted Putin to overreach.
Hope so! Give him those 2 breakaway regions to allow him to declare victory. Put an end to all this.

In exchange for what though? Ukraine in NATO?
In exchange for stopping the attack and sending missiles into URK cities? Putin still has plenty of leverage.
The people in Ukraine fight. We need strong allies. Ukraine is strong. BRING THEM IN! NOW!
I would think in the negotiation, that Ukraine might promise not to join NATO in the next 5 years however, continue to arm themselves during this period in case of further fighting.
At this point, I don’t see why Ukraine would agree to much of anything. They have the weight of the world backing them and the Russians d-bags already invaded and terrorized their country. The damage is done. Tell Putin to shove it up his commie ass and let Russia devolve into a third world country until someone takes out Putin from within.
Tough to get everyone together but it seems invasion of a sovereign country does it
You are aware this would bring about a limited (or worse) nuclear conflict and the likely economic or even physical destruction of large portions of the US, right?
I’m not a geopolitics expert, but why would the US be at risk? If nukes are directed anywhere it would be the EU, especially France since they have nukes too. Can’t imagine Russia taking a shot at the US unless we are taking about the destruction of the world as we know it. At that point, forget the stock market talk on this thread…LOL?
