The Chinese Hang Seng–PRC’s version of Wall Street stock exchange closed down 7.2% over bad news: new Covid lockdowns in the northeast Jilin province, Ukraine was jitters, and worries about China-Russia effect of sanctions. The Chinese real estate market has been fragile for months, and this can’t be good news for President-for-Life Xi. Looks like there’s a new Variant Omicron BA.2. Thanks, China! Now China appears to have a lot of issues, and smash-and-grab invasions may seem less promising than…
Last Thursday night, March 10th, at the Oakland County Board of Commissioners, it all just got real. All that inflation talk, all the jokes about “spend it now while it’s still worth something,” all the chuckles at us stoopid-heads, all the joyous flinging of Federal Largesse in all directions, all the happy-happy-happy just…ended. Once a little kid was fascinated by this pretty ball, sorta basketball-sized sphere, with little bugs flying in and out, hanging from the outside roof. His…
Dragon stiffs bear. PRC China cuts yen loose from Ruble, lets Russ currency fall.
In World War 1, everything German got so unpopular in America that folks renamed sauerkraut “liberty cabbage.” Today, folks are so mad at Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, that they’re taking out their anger by pouring out bottles of Stoli as Bad ‘Russian’ Vodka.

Round 2, crippling international sanctions crashed the Ruble and isolated Russia’s economy, combined with more Russ force being brought to bear against Ukraine–including artillery & missile attacks on cities, appears to being resolving in Ukraine favor. Lighting war is bogged down. A blitzkrieg’s become a blintz-kreig. Why? Clue 1: where the hell is the Russian air force?…
As of 3/3/22 the U-for-Ukraine War looks like this: A) Russia’s ‘Desert Sabre’ style blitz into Ukraine has failed. The Russki army is bogged down. Ukraine is resisting harder than anyone expected. B) The West (including Japan, Korea, etc.) have imposed economic sanctions that cripple the Russian economy. However, Petro and Natural Gas imports not totally cut off. C) The Russian Army has switched tactics, back to its tried-and-true basics: slow and brutal. Line up the artillery wheel-to-wheel, obliterate everything…
You don’t buy Africa: you rent it. Terms and conditions subject to change without notice. Euros learn. Yanks learn. Russkis learn. Chinese about to learn. Congo kicks out Chinese company from one of the world’s biggest copper-cobalt mining sites (tfiglobalnews.com) Enjoy!
(Not so fast, hoser!) What a difference a week makes. Last Monday I was ready to write all about bad news: Canada had gone fascist; Russia had maybe kicked off the Next World War by grabbing the Ukraine. Now there’s bad news, good news, and maybe even better news. CANADA: BAD NEWS: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invoked a State of Emergency, turned police on the very peaceful demonstrators, lied about ‘swastika wavers’ to justify the crackdown, and…
