Read On Twitter: Global War, All Fronts

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

This Cotton character is as goofy as he looks, along with Lindsey! the twit:

The_Real_Fly @The_Real_Fly

SEN COTTON WANTS AMERICAN WARSHIPS TO ENTER BLACK SEA, FLY ANOTHER DRONE MISSION TODAY, AND ARM UKRAINE WITH MISSILES THAT CAN STRIKE INSIDE RUSSIA ***

Right. What could possibly go wrong with that?

The_Real_Fly @The_Real_Fly

US WILL `DIG DEEP' FOR NEW UKRAINE DONATIONS, AUSTIN SAYS

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:

Russian Embassy in USA 🇷🇺 @RusEmbUSA

💬Anatoly Antonov: A deliberate attack on 🇷🇺 aircraft in neutral airspace is an open declaration of war against the largest nuclear power. ❌An armed conflict between 🇷🇺 and 🇺🇸 would be radically different from the proxy war 🇺🇸 is waging remotely against us in Ukraine.

Reality—even UK propaganda sheets are starting to leak truth:

Why is this man laughing? Hey, you would be, too!

Can you hear it? It sounds like the world’s smallest violin …

doomberg.substack.comDon JeromeRegulators moved swiftly last week to crush several banks tied to the crypto industry. What might this mean for the future of Bitcoin?

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:

Breaking: Some EU banks may be vulnerable! ECB, master of the bleeding obvious:

Tom Luongo (Head Sneetch) @TFL1728

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.

zerohedge.com‘Some EU Banks May Be Vulnerable’ - ECB Tells Ministers ‘No Room For Complcency’...cautioned not to be complacent and warned that a lack of confidence could trigger contagion

And ECB just raised its rates 50 bps:

Tom Luongo (Head Sneetch) @TFL1728

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.

JUST IN - European Central Bank raises interest rates by 0.50% to 3.50%.

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.
