The potential to keep the lid on things over there...will be over and escalation will continue-he now is conducting (Putin) the largest military exercise in Russian history since prior to the Iron Curtain and what most don't know is that Russia has HUGE interests and influence in a lobbying group in the USoA...thru established firms working against american interests...mutli billionaire and millonaires of Russian interest as the principals....and that US firms actually profit by lobbying for Russia.
If this happens whereby the situation deterioates over there things can turn very ugly in short order...this is an undisputable fact.
And in that situation...the valuations of all companies not just TNG in my opinion will react accordingly as all markets hate uncertainty and there will be a predictable flight to quality vs speculation and a raising of prudent investors to an eye of raising cash for stock buying opportunties should the market downturn based on geopolitical events become protracted.
TNG will not be immune to any market action in the face of geo-political concerns and will follow suit...which I believe is what was happening most recently when the share price dipped below .195-20 per share as the news from the Ukraine continued/continues to dominant media outlets.
We are at a very very sensitive and critical time in our lives people...this is equivalent or soon becoming the moral and admistrative legacy equivalent for OBAMA what the Bay of Pigs was to
Kennedy..tho that was with the whole world on the verge of teetering into Nuclear Armagedon...but do not think those kinds of parameters and threat does not and cannot exist with the Ukranian situation now.
The `1st world war started with one shot...the one that took Franz Josephs life...but it took only one shoot and after that comes the shooting from many.
I trust cooler heads are prevailing and will continue to prevail and a diplomatic solution is found...because if it dosen't?
The falling price of the TNG or any other company on any other exchange...will be the least and last of all our worries.

ALSO...ISOLATING RUSSIA AIN"T GOING TO IMPROVE THE SITUATION EITHER...
War-the act of War.... is the utlitmate breakdown of diplomacy and last act of failed foreign policy and the outright failure of finding common ground.
THIS will extend on the Iranian push for inclusion to the Nuclear Club...the civil war in Syria-the dismantling of weapons of mass destruction-and we will see a soft return to the cold war-which will destabilize regions of this world vs stabilizing them.
