Well said.

Don't blame yourself. Putin is not sane and can't be expected to react rationally.

Excellent analysis as usual.

Would be great if it ended this month, but I think Putin has a hard time admitting he's been defeated. I don't think there are even any diplomatic avenues being pursued at the moment, so it would have to be a unilateral retreat which would probably end Purin's career and forever tarnish his legacy. He'd probably burn Ukraine to the ground rather than let them gloat.  I think the only way the war would end this month is if Putin was overthrown.

Not so familar with him.  Did he do something recently to trigger this  blog post?

That's quite a graphic graphic!

I could be wrong, but if one believes the news, Putin may be dying, and if so, he may not be thinking clearly. He may also be concerned with his legacy as he faces his own mortality.  Personally, I hope Ukraine kicks his @ss, and that the Russian people give him the boot.

Interesting thoughts. But I think Putin isn't quite sane and he seems more concerned about not admitting defeat, and any withdrawal will be viewed as a defeat.  He will likely level and burn Ukraine down and claim that as a victory.  A "if we can't have it, no one can" mentality that he can pitch as protecting Russia from Ukrainian agression - which of course is bogus.

I thought #Amazon was getting into the prescription drug space. Amazon always manages to get rock bottom pricing.  $AMZN.

Impressed!  And suprised that $BENT has maintained its value while all the other stocks have crashed.
