It's not often I offer an opposing opinion towards someone I admire, but this, imo, is pretty "far out there".

Snippet:

"The West may get more than they bargained for if they keep going after Putin, and it would not surprise me if this blows up in the faces of Western central planners. Meaning, Putin may be about to unleash economic terror on the West."

Comment:

Putin seems much more rational than those who are in the White House and I think he understands better than most, that you cannot push irrational people into a corner. He definitely has some financial and economical weapons at his disposal, but to "unleash a financial nuclear bomb?" I don't think that's his style. He knows he can make the West suffer without relying on "the big one" and the last think he or the rest of the world need is an egotistical administration to feel they are trapped.

Soory John, but I think your comment is just wishful thinking on behalf of the gold community and not very realistic when it comes to what society needs.

"We live in interesting times"

Good Luck to all!
