They can just hit the port it's being shipped out of with a cruise missiles etc. Russia will be hesitant to risk losing more ships to anti ship missiles and drones, that's true.

Ukraine makes a large portion of the world's wheat.. its their flag.

>According to the European Commission, Ukraine accounts for 10% of the world wheat market, 15% of the corn market, and 13% of the barley market. With more than 50% of world trade, it is also the main player on the sunflower oil market.Jul 27, 2022

Priced in.

Everyone with a brain knew russia only went through with that deal so they'd have it's shutdown to use as leverage. They were always going to shut it down, it was just a matter of when.

Global energy and food prices will remain very high until the Ukraine War ends. Unfortunately, since America and Europe are funding the war and seem eager for it to continue, the war will probably continue for many years.

In addition to energy and food, you might also keep an eye on fertilizer prices, as those also have gone up dramatically and are in short supply since the war started.

Russia won't last years. They're 8 months into this catastrophe and their economy is collapsing, their only profitable export markets are dead, they're incapable of making new military equipment so they're refurbishing t-62s and they're conscripting drunks and old men due to low morale and high abandonment.

I would be absolutely amazed if this war made it past next summer.

It’s not a minor war, it’s a special military operation.

Sarcasm mode off.

Russia is fucked. It’s a technical term where you let a small old man run your country into the ground through corruption.

Then watch him pick a proxy war with both the EU the UK and the USA to distract the Russian population.

It always ends in tears. Let hope it’s not everyone on the planet crying when the smoke clears.

Extremely-Bad-Idea t1_iuc5m98 wrote

Russia is not going anywhere. To imagine otherwise is wishful thinking. WSB is about making money and that requires dealing with reality, not imaginary victories over Russia. The Russian Bear defeated Hitler and Napoleon, so I don't think Ukraine is going to be its downfall. LOL

Ever since the Ukraine war started, Western governments and media have been claiming that Russia is "on the verge of collapse" or "about to have a revolution that overthrows Putin". Of course none of that has happened. Instead, Russia's ruble is the strongest performing European currency this year. The ruble is up 12% over last year. Russia has redirected its energy exports to China, India, Asia, Africa, and Latin America, thereby negating the impact of losing its former European customers.

From an investment standpoint, traders need to acknowledge that Russia is the world's most resource rich nation, is a military super-power, and knows how to defend its economic self-interest. Swapping anti-Russia political sentiments for the hard facts of Russia's economic reality is a sure way to lose money.

Lmaaaaooo I hope you really dont believe what you wrote.

-Russia in less than 1 year has already lost more than Americans lost in10 years throughout the Vietnam war. They are losing and losing bad. Their military is a joke from all the embezzlement and corruption over the years, and it's in full display with all their soviet era tech.

-If Russia was so resource rich, they wouldnt be acting like Orc invaders trying to steal land for resources. Hell they wouldnt be constantly pillaging washing machines to bring back to base for their chips.

-the Ruble is being propped up. If you believe it's strong in reality despite the entire world blocking trade with them, then I got a bridge to sell you.

Like you said not a place to discuss politics but holy shit man at least remove your head from your ass.

Extremely-Bad-Idea t1_iudzlhr wrote

Everything you said is complete nonsense. All the people reading this discussion thread will decide for themselves about your lack of credibility.

  • You are quoting Ukrainian propaganda as if it were official Russian casualty figures. If those numbers were real, then the war would already be over because Russia's entire military would be gone. How can you be so foolish as to repeat that nonsense?
  • Russia occupies 20% of the surface of the Earth. It has more mineral wealth than any other nation and most continents.
  • The Ruble trades freely against other currencies. China, India, Brazil, and other non-NATO nations accept Russian rubles as payment for goods and services, while Russia accepts their yuan, rupee, real, etc

Thanks for your submission!

r/WallStreetBets is ultimately a community about making money through trading, and our conversations should shift around that.

Politics are fundamentally intertwined with making money, and political actions almost always have an impact on financial markets.

Still, we need to make sure that when we have these discussions, we're explicitly calling out the financial impacts of the politics we're discussing. Otherwise, the conversation can very easily veer off into flamewars and boring, unproductive, discussion.

Here's an example of a political comment that doesn't offer any value:

  • "I hate this new green policy from the Biden administration. What a fucking idiot"

Now compare it to this:

  • "I hate this new green policy from the Biden administration. It threatens the profit margins of oil companies because they will need to expand their OpEx. I have calls on Shell that are going to get decimated at open."

The latter is significantly more interesting and offers a great jumping point into market related discussion.

Put succinctly: If you choose to start or engage in arguments about libtards or Nazis instead of making fun of their bad SPY long then you're in the wrong place and we'll show you the door.

If you're not sure if your content is political, it probably is, and there's probably a better way to post it without making things weird.

All that being said, we are here to help. We want to make it as easy as possible for you to post to our community. We have to balance this with making the subreddit interesting for our readers.

If you need some guidance, don't hesitate to reach out to modmail and we'll give you some pointers!
