Great insights as ever, Mark! You are spot on about the rebound effect of the sanctions. I call it the Joe Rogan Effect. The psychopaths can cancel and ban small players like Gaddafi or Noriega, but when they try to ban someone big like Rogan (or Putin), then that person simply decamps and takes all their assets with them. That stimulates the growth of alternatives, just like Rogan brought massive new impetus to Rumble, and as Putin will to CIPS and whatever currency or metal replaces the dollar as the global reserve. I switch each day between whether the globalists are brilliant geniuses playing us all like marionettes, or whether they are just idiots. Maybe it's the latter. But their idiocy is a mortal threat to us all. They must be destroyed.
It should now be obvious to all logical observers of history that the continued existence of NATO after the Soviet collapse in 1991 was the 2nd greatest strategic blunder in recent memory. The worst strategic blunder was the eastward expansion of NATO.
Yep. Can you imagine how disappointed Putin is that Goldman Sachs and all those crappy NGOs are no longer spreading their poison in Russia. Oh, and he gets to seize their assets too, because that is what the West is doing to Russian individuals and companies.

Answers a lot of questions about who’s backing the Ukrainian President.

Uncharted territory IMO. Hold on everyone. Biden’s pride will continue to hurt for another year says Sec Yellen.

Thank you Tony Blair and Bill Clinton.
The Iran Deal was also involved in the timing of what Putin did.
The Western entities that boycotted Russia for virtue signaling, have done a great job of for Putin, removing their influence on Russia.

LCD? Lowest Common Denominator?
FWIW, we have at least as much time as it takes China to unwind their $3T
