Some people

Some people seeing the news like it is might already be pulling money out of the bank at $300 a day or more and stuffing it into their mattresses or something.

However, something tells me that isn't really going to help. I thought of doing this too. But, somehow this won't help in the way people think it will.

In the end rich, middle Class and poor we are all in this thing together wherever we are. So, whatever Russia does next through Putin we need to pull together more than any other single thing maybe like we did during World War II after Pearl Harbor.

Only we haven't had a Pearl Harbor yet, unless you consider 9-11 our Pearl Harbor.

What is Putin up to?

He's going to take from the world whatever it doesn't fight him for.

Remember the old Russian Addage, "Push the bayonet in, if there is no resistance, keep pushing. If there is resistance, pull back."

This is what Putin was taught too.

So far, from Putin's point of view militarily at least, there is no resistance, so he is going to keep right on pushing.

His country may have been financially neutered by sanctions from Europe and the U.S. and others, but he still has nuclear weapons to bluff and to take whatever he wants with including all money on Earth if he so dares and all the land on earth if no one fights him and gives him resistance.

I don't think the diplomats of the world are any match for Putin at all.

This is why we need someone like General Eisenhower as President of our country right now.
