I know it's hard to believe, but maybe, juuust maybe, our government is full of shit. I mean they're essentially saying they know another country's schedule on when they plan to start a war. And they're putting it out to the public. There's no level where that makes any goddamned sense other than as FUD/propaganda.Zelenskiy Sarcasm Over Attack Date Moves Markets (10:15 p.m.)
Zelenskiy gave an address in which he admonished other nations for exaggerating the risk of a Russian invasion, wryly suggesting that the Feb. 16 date forecast by some governments instead be turned into a national day of unity.
“They scare us with the big war and once again appoint the date of military invasion. It is not for the first time,” Zelenskiy, a former comedian, said in a video address to his nation late Monday. “We seek peace and want to resolve all issues only via negotiations.”
Jittery markets reacted quickly. U.S. benchmark crude West Texas Intermediate touched $95 a barrel for the first time since 2014.
And to bring this back on track, Wile E Coyote is falling back up from the ground.... uhh, so to speak.
