“You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named "Bush", "Dick", and "Colin."

Blaming Russia again. Have no idea of course but does Russia love making themselves a target for sanctions that much? Would not be surprised to see an attack on Nord Stream.

I am told spiritually that some people in the white house admin want war and have zero reason to doubt that.

With all these bubbles and hundreds of trillions or more in unregulated gambling markets between banks etc the whole civilisation is at stake. Buffett called these derivatives financial weapons of mass destruction.
