RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:GENM TSX March 4 (some missing info 11:28AM-12:04PM)No, the EU looses Energy. Your immediate needs are energy & food. Russia is also a large chunk of the fertilizer market [very tight market at present] & they are considering suspending shipments. You say price rises are coming? If you haven't noticed prices have been rising for a long time & the more Russia is sanctioned the more & faster they will rise. The west is saddled with debt & yes they can & will print more money but that will only add fuel to the fire. You sound like you might be from the Senator Karen school of economics & beleive in Modern Monetary Theory. If this plays out in the direction you are thinking with heavy sanctions we are going to find out Paper money isn't wealth. As far as ww2 goes all those people are nearly dead or dead. No, we have the 'Woke' crowd that has been entitled all there lives. They don't even no what democracy is & from the sound of it neither do you. They would throw the Ukraine & so called 'democracy' under the bus if they had to endure real hardships.
Is the annex of Crimea why you are calling Putin an expansionist? The Crimea was part of Russia since the 1700's, it was given to the Ukraine when the USSR was formed & stayed with the Ukraine after the USSR break up. After the CIA led coup of the democratically elected government [Putin puppet government if you like], the US put in their own puppet government effectively cutting off Russia from their warm sea port. The Crimea is mostly Russian so they had a vote which 80% voted to become part of Russian.
Putin lies? Really. Can you name a leading politician who doesn't lie? And you want to talk about naive. You must listen to the MSM a lot.
So, of course he wants his own puppet government back in as opposed to the US one. And of course he doesn't want NATO in there although Zalensky is begging for it cause he knows that's his only hope. These are considered the 2 most corrupt countries in Europe & they probably deserve each other. They have been trading with each other for hundreds of years & the US can't leave it alone. The empire is threatened. Lockheed Martin is happy.
