It's a global economy and for that reason I think Putin is just Sabre rattling... If he invades the Ukraine there will be a horrendous Los of life and severe sanctions would then be implemented and the Russian stock market would crash... Putin could then be facing a revaluation... Don't think he would Risk that.
Malik I'm not into market manipulation... And I've never commented on investments I'm not invested in... Your vermin and I really enjoy hunting vermin :-)
