I was against the United States invading Iraq. If Russia invades the Ukraine, I'll be against that one too.
That logic makes sense to me. and I would have thought all those who are aghast at America's invasions would be aghast at a Russian invasion of Ukraine, too.
Anyway, this whole chain is getting massively off track. Being aware of developments and discussing the impact of geopolitical tensions on the equity markets is the point. But perhaps an off market forum would be better suited for the invariable who is to blame, the frothy anti americanism/russianism, the complex history involved, etc.
