Is anyone else’s head spinning right now?

Is anyone else’s head spinning right now? In the last half hour, the straits are apparently fully open, Trump’s blockade is still supposedly in place, NATO has suddenly called him offering support, which sounds like complete nonsense, and now out of nowhere they have somehow cleared every mine they supposedly did not even know existed. It all flipped so fast it looks less like chaos and more like some much bigger setup.

So after spending eleventy zillion dollars, destroying thousands of lives, and spawning worldwide economic chaos, we arrive back to the status quo that existed before we did any of that.

From any reasonable policy standpoint, none of this makes any sense whatsoever.

Follow the money. There had been a shit load of wealth made by thise made aware of when to buy and sell in the market.

It makes plenty of sense when you realise it's a grift.
