Thank you for the nat gas ideas! Very cool. Looking great there Mike.
you sound much better now that you're in sunny Florida. That sun is one mighty powerful drug and a huge mood enhancer. I had to move back to LA from Houston because my mood was getting effected. Time to hit the beach man!
When you see this kind of development you wonder who's is actually giving the cards. For this guy to back off, something bigger was upon him.
I heard Prigozhin in the meeting said “ I wish for a turkey sandwich, on rye bread, with lettuce and mustard, and, AND I don’t want any zombie turkeys, I don’t want to turn into a turkey myself, and I don’t want any other weird surprises. You got it?”
I think bungled is too strong a word. Russia is moving very, very slowly, but they are ultimately winning.
How so? Winning? lol
@A Neder well, yeah, ukrainians are getting slaughtered. The counteroffensive has been an utter disaster. It's sad.
@jhfiyugy8g obviously right. lol You must be russian too.
i get a kick out of the WH calling that situation "putin's war of aggression", that is some real funny shit coming from the same creeps pretending they never ran a coup in 2014. now i've known the "globalists" been longing to get russia's resources under control and within the last yr jamie raskin tweeted his obsession about putin not going along with the left's game of capture the flag with kids peckers…..
Thanks Mike 👏
People who live in the US don’t understand the power it yields around the world. Up to now, Obama & Trump were coddling Putin and he thought he was untouchable. He’s learning what real power is now. He won’t do that again.
What is your biggest holding?
I thought you were in the Keys already. Where are you?
Seems to me that you are carrying more happy faces here in Floridija than NY.
❤👁
totally with ya on the gas, these stonks are cheaper than my mom
Thank you Mike
Russia was banking on peace agreements, which is why they started small. And they weren't wrong, but NATO has kept blocking agreements. Last week Putin showed African leaders the signed and detailed peace agreement from spring (the one Boris Johnson blocked). And many world leaders from Turkey, Israel, etc, have come forward with tales of NATO blocking the peace agreements they worked out with Ukraine and Russia. But the elephant in the room NO one is talking about is the Russian offensive.
This "coup" is just a particularly turbulent transition for Russia. Thus far, the Wagner Group, aka. the Donbass Militia, has been doing the overwhelming majority of the fighting, which has for 9 years focussed on Donbas. But with the military mobilisation, Wagner (25k) is being relieved by the Russian military (250k). So Wagner effectively beat down NATO and now a force 10x the size is about to take control. Obviously, war hero Prigozhin has mixed feelings about retiring. The worrying question is what are the US NeoCons going to do? Send Poland in and get a proper World War going? Switch to terrorist insurgency tactics to lock Russia into a quagmire like Afghanistan? WW3 and nuclear annihilation of all life on Earth? NeoCons should be reminded there are nuclear armed subs off the coast of America. WW3 will not be like WW2
That's right. I'm not sure that Putin bungled the effort in any way. It is hard to get the facts of course though. I think it is true the Russians were hoping for peace agreements. They were going slow because they were not eager to kill neighbors who they did not see as enemies in the same way they now see NATO as the enemy.
Suggestion: would you consider starting a Mastermind meetup group where we could meet and exchange ideas.
You short $$ how about Canadian dollar?
A loose cannon is never good when you're on a warship.
They're printing money! Ukraine is winning! Insurrection!
