Looks like it was just a show of force. I think they would need a lot bigger force for a real invasion and they would have tremendous losses for such a senseless act. I also think this was a test for the Russian radars and other equipment. Especially if there were F-35's flying around. They probably tested their detection equipment. I am curious now whether the NATO forces will stay in position or, how many will leave (if they will leave at all). My next guess is that they will use the show of force vs Turkey next time in the Eastern Mediterranean. France and Greece are already doing that. Turkey is getting so much pressure that some are already speculating it might leave NATO. This is weakening the alliance and Turkey actually has the 2nd biggest number of troops (2nd only to the US) with as many troops in total as the UK+Germany+theNetherlands. With the US/France/Greece and recently Italy pushing Turkey away, they might actually end up weakening the alliance.
I just find this interesting. Here in the US mainstream media doesn't even talk about this. Shows how corrupt the US media has become.
There's no NATO force, at least from what I've read. Not a single soldier or ship. There might be surveillance planes flying over Ukraine to spy on the Russian buildup.
There are countless international forces in the Black Sea. Ships, helicopters, fighter jets. Including the British.
Yes, but I'm not surprised at all. What's surprising is that even ZH avoided the issue at the beginning. The Russian bias has become too obvious so they probably started covering it.
Gold bottomed early March. By bottomed, I don't mean the price has bottomed but the sentiment has bottomed. https://www.reddit.com/r/Gold/comments/n68o5o/first_dive_into_gold_cashed_out_of_my_crypto/ "cashed out of my crypto fearing a crash". Smart move, with gold you can sleep...no need to watch the price 24 hours a day. Nowadays, I check the price of gold an average of once a week.
Gold rebound confirmed. I don't think we'll see $1600+ price any more. Wars breaking out everywhere, the trend will intensify as more countries become vaccinated.
tighten importation on metals at customs afraid of tax evasion increasingly silver are being sold at the same price eg A$41/oz USD41 and SGD41
Forget about the sHitcoin @sgbuyer, it is on its way down to a 95% retracement of value. Can't we have even one gold thread without dragging that vile thing into the conversation? Speaking of gold, good to see it back at the $2400 level in Aussie fiat again.
I'm not adverse to bitcoin, so I'll buy maybe a couple oz gold coin's worth at 5% of today's price, but it's obvious that a rising gold threatens bitcoin. It also looks to me that gold is pulling silver along.
