Is it all over for FXPO then? Is it finito, goodnight Vienna, lights out?
" Italy might also follow Argentinas model of just defaulting."
OMG ...Follow Argentina model ...god help them ..a socialist disaster that finally is coming to its senses after a century of stupidity ..the country has great potential but my god how they wasted it all
With Putin it needs a Caesar moment to rid him from within...but they all have sold their souls to get their pensions and villas and dont have the courage ...they are all too within the system ... too many on the Putin payroll and no one trusts anyone even suggest anything against him..... only when the people start to starve and shiver will they do anything about it
" if Poland were to follows Hungary, Slovakia and Greece out the door I think the game would be up "
oh yeah ? ... they wouldnt dare ... they all suck as much out of the EU as possible .... without having to obey the rules..they love it...Slovakia is a mess, the talent all leaves ..The Hungarian forint collapses at every crisis , they depend on Euro stability ...Greece wouldnt stand a chance , again the talent would leave , end up owned by the Chinese with everyone working in the tourist sector serving foreigners
leave , let´s see what happens
I don’t think they’ll be any meaningful peace or ceasefire while Putin is alive. He’s crossed the point of no return. He’s showed he is prepared to over throw democratic governments, target civilians as a matter of policy and this is army isn’t that of a superpower. Any peace would be followed by a huge diplomatic effort to incriminate him and isolate further on the international stage (which will happen at some point anyway). His only way out may be a Trump administration.
I think Europes problem is lack of leadership. The same as the rest of the western world. 15 years ago the EU and US economies were about equal. Now the U.S. is one third larger. Why? Europe has plenty of cheap labour. No real strategy for growth or large gas and oil reserves like the U.S.
@Pockerchips if Poland were to follows Hungary, Slovakia and Greece out the door I think the game would be up. Italy might also follow Argentinas model of just defaulting.
Troajan
yes..I get your point ...horrific ... humanity has been sucked out of these murderers ..like going back to what the Japanese were doing in the Pacific ...horrific indeed
And ukraine was denied NATO entry,twice....so that excuse,doesnt wash
Diplomacy doesnt work with putin pokerchips,everyone tried that.
other than defending themselves,what do suggest they do
only the russians are targetting hospitals/schools/universities/grain stores/dams.......so its not actually tit for tat
and yesterday,putin shelled an apartment block,then when the fire and ambulance services arrive.....the seconf round of shelling,took them out......i dont see the ukranians,doing that,on a daily basis
Rebuilding Ukraine will mean membership becomes increasingly expensive making decisions to leave far easier for any populist led countries.
They are trapped inside the EU and Euro ... Italian Lira would be decimated if they left the Euro and their borrowing costs would go sky high in times of stress ...the FX speculators would have a field day ...look at Bank of Japan, down the river rapids without a paddle
It is all a crazy nonsense ....Ukraine hits an oil refinery , so Russia hits an energy plant.... and so it goes on.... Tit for tat back and forth .. our missiles are better than your missiles,
the grown ups have clearly left the building a long time ago
.....and there appears to be no one with any sense left
Alex. You make a good point with the mexican comparison. I do however think the economic damage being inflicted on the EU has the potential for its demise. Too many countries joined the club expecting eternal hand outs. The combination of economic stagnation caused by the war and the cost of arming and rebuilding Ukraine will mean membership becomes increasingly expensive making decisions to leave far easier for any populist led countries.
Krok whether Ukraine wins or not is entirely in the hands of the west. As if Russia could out produce 32 countries, including the U.S. in terms of armaments. The U.S. alone has over 5000 main battle tanks and 1000 F16s. At the minute the policy is obviously drip feed Ukraine with weapons to keep Russia tied up where it is. Unfortunate for Ukraine but that’s the way it is. Strategically this is a disaster for Putin. The whole world has seen how useless his army is. Imagine the U.S. trying to take over Mexico and 2 years in still sat 60 miles from their own border with hundreds of thousands dead and 40% of GDP being spent on the war? Ukriane might not be able to drive Russia out but it’s unwindable for Russia also.
Looks like the West is looking to tie Trumps hands by channeling weapons supply through NATO. Russia knows that this fight is far from over and is imo going to prioritize rebuilding munitions reserves and strengthening defenses. For this reason, while small gains of the odd 100 square miles might occur, I don't see the front moving much in the next 12 months. Ukraine unfortunately will remain in a state of war for the foreseeable future, with it's men obligated to serve on the front line so that western soldiers don't have to. As for FXPO, it's legal nuisances will eventually be resolved since the company itself is not the target of these. It will continue to operate in a difficult environment, but it's assets will remain intact and operations will continue. Frankly I see the current dip as someone trying to capitalize on fear of a Russian surge, but that isn't going to happen, and so I am confident on a strong share price improvement in the nearish future.
Once the pain from a 80+% loss eases a bit, dreamers start telling again about Ukraine's inevitable victory
Going further and further away from reality
Yeah alex,fresh western munitions are on there way there now,mainly heavy artillery shells and air defense,but not from the US
so the russian offensive,is going to get some of their own medicine and theyre not very good,when it comes to fighting someone,that can fight back,other than defenseless civilians,old people,women and children
what a guy?

Sounds about right. I think 2024 was going to be a year of resupply and the West getting their act together. I did read by the end of 2024 Ukraine will have ample ammunition in terms of bullets and artillery rounds. Russia running at 40% of GDP and 200k plus dead. NATO taking over Procurement of ammo when half NATO countries aren’t even at 2% of GDP yet doesn’t bode well for the little cretin in the Kremlin. What’s he going to do when the ammo flowing to Ukraine is constant and it hasn’t even dinted western economies? Russia has burned through all the North Korean and Iranian crap? Like Napoleon said ‘don’t interrupt your enemy when he’s making a mistake’.
