I am absolutely flabbergasted that Thyssen-Krupp now has a negative stock value. How do you even trade on the market with a negative stock value. I guess this is an example of a company that has been brought to their knees by United States policy against Russia with the Advent of the war with Ukraine. That company has been around what 150 , 200 years producing steel and armaments for Germany and Europe. The Krupp family used to be one of the richest families in the world.

Thanks for the update, Mark. Seeing how delusional the CIA is (or how much misinformation/disinformation they are dispersing - take your pick), I think this author should be a candidate for employment with them:

Yes, it is the infamous - thanks to you - Fred Fleitz (https://meaninginhistory.substack.com/p/gaming-out-trumps-foreign-policy). He is obviously auditioning for AIPAC and at the same time for a position in the next Trump administration. Is it humanly possible to be more pro-Israel or more dismissive of the truth? Well, I suppose I shouldn't ask that as there are I am sure many others willing to give that a try (already in DC or who want to be in DC).

A blast from the past (Time Magazine, January, 2018)

After his speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Friday, President Donald Trump boasted he had made “15 new friends” during a dinner Thursday with the heads of some of the biggest multinational companies in the world.

“We had dinner last night with about 15 leaders of industry – none of whom I knew, but all of whom I’ve read about for years – and it was truly and an incredible group,” Trump told Klaus Schwab, the founder of the World Economic Forum. “And I think I have 15 new friends. So this has been really great what you’ve done and putting it together, the economic forum.”

The business leaders, who are all men, represent some of the largest companies in Europe, across multiple sectors of the economy – from financial services and telecommunications to sportswear. [The CEO of ThyssenKrupp was among them.]

Also present at the dinner were some of the president’s closest advisers, including Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen, National Security Adviser Gen. H.R. McMaster and Chief Economic Advisor Gary Cohn.

For me, I see a lot of reasons why Russia would decide to end this sooner rather than later.
