DJIA up 300 pts with the attack.

DJIA down 76 pts with the rout.

"The Endowment for Democracy purchased Georgia as a US colony. The affront to Russia was extreme, but at the time Russia was weak. Oligarchs with outside money had grabbed control over Russian resources, and Russia was in dire straits and could not resist American imperialism.

Putin corrected the situation for Russia."

Paul Craig Roberts

I find it even more telling the market was up "long"
the weekend when this all started on Friday the 8th.
And even more telling that oil is still dropping.
The juxtapostion of up 300 points on war and down
now 61.58 on rumors of a cease of hostilities,leads
one to believe the fat lady isnt gonna sing just yet.

(No fat opera ladies were harmed in this dramatization)

“This order [i.e. capitalism] is now bound to the technical and economic conditions of machine production which today determine the lives of all the individuals who are born into this mechanism, not only those directly concerned with the economic acquisition, with irresistible force. Perhaps it will so determine them until the last ton of fossilized coal is burnt.”

—Max Weber, 1905
