Not much chart action yet considering the “interesting” news out of Europe.
In reality, Ukraine is a poor country plagued with corruption and problems. Hardly surprising that nobody has stepped up to help. I remember reading decades ago about Ukraine during World War 2 when the Germans and Russians were fighting over it along with local militia aligned with both sides. What a mess. Gold will probably be back to $1780-$1800 in a month or so. Ukraine will be controlled by Russia, the West will be bleating about it ( conveniently forgetting about the absolute disaster they created in the Middle East) and life will go on....oh....and the Dow back to 40,000......Go Shiba Inu.
I reckon aid is flowing already. As Kiev did not surrender in the first two days (thanks to the UK airbridge of delivering Javelins for weeks before the Russkies' blitz), the West sees that there might still be a chance to turn this to a defeat to Putin. Massive respect to Ukrainians for putting up a fight.
A lot of people (Westerners) still don't understand the feudal new world order.
In the feudal world, when wars are lost, men are enslaved, women and children are sold. This is to destroy the country totally and prevent any chance of revival. If Ukraine is taken over by Russia, their men will be conscripted as slave soldiers to fight Poland and Romania, the women and children will be sent to Siberia.
If you think MAD is bad, this is definitely worst than MAD. Mutual destruction as the Chinese say is better.
Maybe you should change your name to Nostradamus?
The action just started. Gold likely to bounce around this price, but anyone who thinks that Ukraine will be settled quickly is very naive. Biden is clearly provoking Putin by sanctioning him. When was the last time a great power leader was sanctioned?
This is a great humiliation that Putin will retailate and further escalate the conflict which is what Biden wants.
The US still has a lot to go on sanctions even without touching SWIFT.
"If Ukraine is taken over by Russia, their men will be conscripted as slave soldiers to fight Poland and Romania, the women and children will be sent to Siberia."
I belive that is called a prediction.
It wasn't really all that long ago when Putin rolled the tanks into Georgia. From memory that didn't drag out for too long. maybe a couple of weeks at most.
