Update on Russian battle plan: Effort to create a line of control from Kharkiv to Odessa with nuclear reactors inside line continues. Mariupol sieged, Odessa in sight to secure the coast. Goal is to divide Ukrainian forces, mop up ultra-right Azov Battalion. Only then take Kyiv.
Media is hyperventilating about Putin being "bogged down" outside Kyiv. Back in the real world, Putin is taking Kherson, Odessa, Kharkiv, Mariupol and Zaporizhzhia and trapping Ukrainian forces behind a line of control. Kyiv is last on the menu, not first.
@Charles_Lister@Reuters Was transporting smth russians did not want to reach Ukraine? Russians want to use it as a shield? How about Ukraine army using civilians as shields now?
Central Planners were in a bind. Inflation, Asset Bubbles, Terrible Approval.
War solves all these problems.
1. Blame Putin for all future Inflation
2. Gives cover to keep rates low/QE
3. Perfect diversion
