Itās strange as Ukraine has a decent amount of natural resources, they donāt have many companies listed on the stock exchanges, I canāt think of any other company either who has expose to Ukraine.
Polymetal is another miner with exposure to Russia
So again Putin has denied he is going to invade. When he says something he means it.
Whilst the US, media and the west keep on the unnecessary warmongering.
Bit of a one-sided argument donāt you think.

The latest development is really worrisome as if unchecked will set the precedence for new era. How long before China takes Taiwan and North Korea takes South Korea etc
I donāt think North Korea has much of a chance against the South.

@Scrooge_McCodf NK has nuclear deterrent. God forbid but they could easily reach and wipe out the entire population of South Korea given that they do not act rationally if kept under pressure that has left them with no other option. Extremely unlike but not impossible.
If the option is either I die or both us die which one do you think most people will do ?? If both parties die the could still continue fighting in hell.
Yeah - made of cardboard. 
Donāt fall too much for memes; while NK had claimed nuclear ability for decades, itās been a while that it is confirmed.
It may be a small arsenal, but still one of the very restrictive nuclear club.
Says he wonāt invade. Then Sends troops into ukraine.
That aged poorly.

When he says something he means it.
Like when he said heād fight corruption and threw the guy in jail who showed him where the corruption was.
Or like when he raided Hermitage Capital for showing him where corruption was which led to the Magnitsky act.
Or that time he said, Iām not invading Ukraine, itās the West lying.
Or Skripal, Khodorkhovsky, Bill Browder, Navalny, Nevzlin, Lebedev or Gusinsky.
Oh.

I donāt blame Putin for his actions. We wouldnāt want Russia or China on our doorstep. Unfortunately Ukraine canāt have itās cake and eat it while Russia remains a socialist state with Soviet nostalgia.
Not saying I support Russia but I understand why theyāre doing what they are doing.

Donāt want to sound like doom and gloom but I think Europe in particular will have to confront some new geopolitical realities which it has refused to accept in recent decade(s).
