Wow! How impressive that you have posted trades. And you're helping hedge fund managers, too! @steven46, on the other hand, is posting his trading methods for free. Which do you think is more valuable for readers?

Here is a little reality about life (and death) for Russian soldiers. One can't help but feel sorry for them and their families. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/12/31/world/europe/russia-military-abuse-soldiers.html

If NATO enlargement is the root cause of the war, why would the NATO-Russia land border double after the war started? https://www.perplexity.ai/search/what-caused-the-largest-increa-fcIqGktlSgWgtHYERnVAXQ Does anyone think Finland joining NATO would have happened if Russia didn't invade...

I give up too! AI searches on the Internet search the Internet which includes different sources! perplexity.ai is especially good because it gives lots of specific references that one can look at. Here is an example...

This one could be true, but is there evidence the alleged attack came from Ukraine? https://www.perplexity.ai/search/did-a-top-kremlin-official-sai-CdIOrBVVRcCGdclgEIBwbw I guess the world should just trust Russia, like what happened before: Google's AI Overview: Maybe this time it's...

It's getting a little tiring doing research for you, but ... I don't think the "little green men" formally published public documentation, but Putin did announce the annexation of Crimea after the sham referendum. Remember, it was the people of Ukraine that wanted closer ties to the EU, but...

Exactly. They didn't really trust one of their neighbors. Was it Finland or Latvia or someone else?;) https://www.perplexity.ai/search/did-estonia-fear-a-russian-inv-_87Pgc3XT_G.VUoOD8lSBQ

I did answer your "When did Russia start the war: 24th February 2022?" with the actions Russia did after Russia decided the people of Ukraine shouldn't decide the future of Ukraine. Your link has "The topic of “NATO expansion” was not discussed at all, and it wasn’t brought up in those years."...

Sachs has a selective memory. Remember, Gorbachev denied the so-called promises when Gorbachev was no longer a politician. Also, starting in 1999, when the Soviet Union was history, former Soviet republics and satellites started joining NATO. Can anyone think of any possible reason they would...

This is a joke. I think you actually believe the people of Ukraine shouldn't decide what is best for Ukraine, but instead Russia should. So Russia was insulted and that justifies arming ethnic Russians to attack the rest of Ukraine, taking over Crimea, and downing a commercial airliner...

What's really going on is Russia started a war, constantly threatens its neighbors, and violates its neighbors' airspace. But Russia doesn't seem to care how many Russian, Ukrainian, North Korean, etc. lives are lost. If they did, the war would have ended long ago. European leaders are slowly...

Your whataboutism isn't a very strong argument. Do two wrongs make a right?

Ritter used the term "instantaneously" to mean Russia could eliminate a perceived threat (NATO) quickly. My argument is if that was true, Russia could have done this to Ukraine shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine from Belarus in 2022, but it didn't work. Hence, we have the ground and pound...
