    Just wait until the Chinese cut off basic industrial inputs like chemicals, screws, nails, electronic parts.

    They’d better not cut off supplies of fried rice and crab rangoon! We’ll have a REAL problem if they do that!

      His bluff didn’t work this time. He wants to play another hand. His shifty eyes are betraying his poker face. He’ll win the next hand! Who cares anyway, he’s not playing with his money.

    Seems simple - just put a big tariff on war so nobody can afford it!

    If the stock market wasn’t such a shitshow maybe we’d finally see SBSW taking off. They’re the only Platinum and Palladium producers in North America who can compete with Russian producers.
