the link below gives a detailed description of the latest developments in this area.
For us traders, it's a good idea to keep a close eye on this situation. The author of this link estimates that military conflict could happen near the end of the month.
The warmongers in the US administration have been pushing for conflict with Russia for quite some time. Russia has responded with increasing military build-up near the Ukrainean border.
Biden has recently insulted Putin and just a few days ago has demanded that Putin stop his advances. IMHO , such a demand makes it impossible for Putin to withdraw... he would look like a coward, bullied by the US.
We must not forget, that the Crimea and the Ukraine were part of Russia, a long time ago. For a while, this area was invaded and occupied by the Ottoman Turks. During the Russia/Ottoman Turk war, Russia reclaimed the Ukraine, including the Crimea.
Russia will never give up the Crimea. The population there is mostly Russian, and Russia's Black Sea port is there.
Biden has asked Putin for a meeting, without success so far. Russia has moved nuclear weapons into this area.
2 US destroyers are on the way to the Black Sea (not a good idea, IMHO)
Lots of detail in the ink below
Thanks Gunter!
We will get a spin of the facts from different sources and it could be challenging to tell what the complete truth is.
What are the chances that both sides will be telling us the entire truth?
That will never happen. Both sides will have a compelling reason to act the way that they do and each side will insist the other one is lying. In this case, it appears that Russia is going to come off as being the bad guy and liar, no matter what they do or say. The reality is that this is probably true................but we can never know for sure because Russia has been blamed for things that they did not cause.............like Trump beating Clinton and the fake story sounds the same/just as convincing as the real story. Please keep us posted.
Biden calling back US destroyers from the Black Sea
This may make Biden look weak, but IMHO, those ships should have never been there
I have been waiting for this war for 9 years. It does look like we are getting close. I think it will be next month.
and which one of us here who has not lost his brain yet, thinks Putin takes Biden or any single one of his staff seriously? If Biden wanted to taken seriously on the world stage all he had to do was hire Pompeio
Putin was clowning Biden when he challenged him to a televised debate. He has zero respect for Biden, that's why he is doing this now and not 6 months ago.
