I rarely watch anything with him commentating but when I do after a few minutes I have had enough.

Here is a headline, this one is from nbcnews.com:

International Cat Federation bans Russian felines from competitions.

Fédération Internationale Féline, which hosts over 700 cat shows a year, said it “cannot just witness these atrocities and do nothing.”

When asked for comment the leader of the Russian Overseas Cat Contingent (ROCC) said, "You have CAT to be kitten me right meow!"

3 days of training, now headed to the front lines of the Last Bastion.

Crazy. When you really think about what would get thrown at them in 3 days of training.  While being absolutely stressed knowing that they're about to go use all of it if they live long enough to.  Makes me sick just thinking about it.

China?

I wouldn't expect China to get actively involved unless there is a huge payoff for them. Except for a few countries like Belarus with Russian Puppets as leaders, there just aren't many countries outside of a few that will have their back.

Apparently India is doing business with Russia still.

Chicago spot gasoline prices have firmed incredibly, up 40c/gal, MI/IN/OH/IL/WI watch out for $4.19-$4.39/gal soon.

Kentucky will likely be approaching $3.99-$4.09?  Someone can report 24 hours from now.

Everyone says that but... I don't know. I do not think they have ever come out in support of him. i think China is still very dependent on the western world.

This is price gouging, plain and simple. 

According to AAA here are the gas prices in California:

It’s all based on oil my man.  The Russia stuff obviously made things a lot worse. It’s scary to think $3.29 sounds good right about now. 

Just FYI everyone, we either have to stick to basic facts and the War in Ukraine or we can't discuss this topic. 

I've seen multiple reports on the fertilizer market.  I listened to a couple of farmers chat about it and in short fertilizer is going to go up a good amount and that has a trickle down (up) effect on everything else which means higher prices on many foods.

My buddy is a loan officer for a bank in Fleming County and does a lot of business with farmers. He was telling me all about this last week. Its not going to be good.
