Out of the frying pan and into the fire. Just when you thought two weeks to end the spread was bad because it turned into two years – now we find ourselves on the doorstep of war. And not war with a small country that we typically after, but one with nukes. Yes, I mean Russia. Today, Russia decided to invade Ukraine and they did so on all fronts. The Russian stock market crashed over 30 percent, the Ruble hit an all-time low against the US dollar, and western nations set into place further sanctions against Russia. The blame game can wait. What we need to know is if this has staying power and if it’s a distraction. A distraction from the pandemic and all the draconian measures that followed. A distraction from a weakening economy being destroyed by inflation. A distraction from financial markets that appear to be ready to buckle under the weight from a decades long artificial intervention. There are many questions to ask, but the most important one may simply be to ask, why? Is this really the best we can do as the human race? Be prepared for the ensuing economic fallout and the political instability that will follow.
