I don't know about the situation in Azerbaijan and if Putin sees it as a target, but do people there fear the same as we see in Ukraine now?

You're a as well a former Soviet republic after all.
Not for now, "thanks" to the Dictators Brotherhood/Fellowship, BUT if we ever summon the courage to (try to) overthrow ours, shit will get bad quick. And even if the fellowship persists, he will come for us sooner or later, or it will be Belarus 2.0.

Putin absolutely needs to lose!

I'm scanning Twitter this morning and the trading gurus I follow are suspiciously quiet. Some of them thought the invasion would never happen, as did a lot of Ukrainians. But maybe it's because they are losing money. :lol:

My avatar dude said it was all fake news, he's disappeared too. Need a new avatar, dude has been pissing me off.
Max Keiser is a dumbfuck. You would do well changing avatar lol

It all depends on whether nato is game enough to play chicken with Russia's nukes. If they do nothing Russia won't stop at Ukraine.

They got no power without the west, if they cross the line they will finally convince everyone to wake up and confront them. I still think china is a paper dragon. There's a huge difference between playing defense and offense.
Not to mention none of their data is trustworthy, both China and Russia is potentially half as weak as they project/claim to be.

Not to mention, their own population's loyalty is under huge question.

Hard say since everything that comes from China is pretty false but if their military power is as how they state/show, I don't think they are a paper dragon.

    This throws a wrench on everything, still think putin did this with the west blessing, sudetes situation. But if china attacks taiwan, world is truly fucked.
    It's totally possible China takes Taiwan. Kyle Bass is on CNBC right now saying that it is a scary probability. I agree.

    As for whether Putin had a blessing, not so sure. This is a disaster for western Europe in terms of diplomacy and gas prices. Although Germany hasn't really said or done anything, so maybe they're OK with it @DAiDEViL

    EDIT: Jim Cramer just said on CNBC that he's selling oil and this all will be short lived. FUCK! It will be the opposite now. :lol:

    Is Russia gonna be stupid enough to attack a Nato member?
    I don’t think so, but in war mistakes happen and there’s always collateral damage. Just like MH17 should’ve never happened.

    It’s one of my fears at the moment, some mistake in the Black Sea with a Turkish ship or something that will oblige the NATO to answer.
