Think you might be missing the point. They're not gonna put down the hammer, why would they when they can simply stabilize it and wait for the big boys to find better oportunities. My take on it is they've drawn a red line and will reinforce that ...

We trade whatever the market throws at us Also, you would still have to measure crypto against something-something to determine it's value, right? If that something is tacos, we'll trade the BTC/TACO cross until our eyes bleed.

I don't think anyone but Lavrov is considering the possibility of NATO taking on a peace keeping mission in Ukraine. Such a mission (which is unlikely in itself) would have to originate out of a UN resolution, and would probably be under the command ...
