Lots going on, and it will probably take some time to sort out. In the meantime, things to watch—to start the day:

How deep? All the way to China? What will the deep digging turn up? Guess what—Russia had a word to say about that idea of Lindsey!’s to shoot down Russian planes, and that word was not minced:

We were reminded of this brilliant sequence as federal regulators moved swiftly to crush several banks tied to the crypto industry in the past week, one after another. While we had a hunch as to how things would go when we published Pandora’s Precedent last Wednesday, even we were surprised by the speed of events and the size of the body count. Within days, Silvergate and Signature Bank – the two banks that most aggressively facilitated payments into and out of the crypto universe – were defunct. Silicon Valley Bank, which catered to the venture capital firms who regularly fleeced retail investors through various crypto proxies during the height of the mania, was also in the hands of the Feds, having been seized during business hours on Friday. The subsequent demise of Signature was especially stunning, as was the matter-of-fact way in which the news was announced on Sunday evening:

Really? You don't say? After all the jawboning, here's the reality... they are ALL vulnerable to rising rates. And those rates will continue rising. See you at the Auto Show, Chrissy.

They have no other option. And they are doing this under the cover of the doom porn while markets beg Powell to Pivot. He's not pivoting. He should go another 25bps, just to make the point clear.

Things are going to get messy. Is the Neocon strategy: Nuke it all and start over? The world as they thought they knew is coming to an end. How ‘bout US politicians ‘pivot’—to America.

"Is the Neocon strategy: Nuke it all and start over?"

They literally put all their eggs in 1 basket. Regime change Russia. Been planning obviously before 2014. Steal their resources. Stay on the throne.

All shot to shit by now.

These folks are megalomaniacs and while most think self preservation will win the day, I'm certain some of these folks will do anything to maintain a semblance of power and authority.

Trumps gonna have his hands full.
