Putin's War Day 1

  • Doesn't sound like his domestic economic people are taking this well.  As of about 1:30 Moscow time, the Russian MOEX stock market has lost over 45% of it's value just since the invasion started.
  • The Ukraine wants a motion with the UN declaring Russia not be a member, since they were never legally admitted after the breakup of the USSR.
  • Much of Eastern Europe is closing off it's airspace.
  • All air flights are avoiding Ukranian airspace.
  • The UEFA Champions' League final will be moved, once an alternate site is found.
  • Significant anti-war protests in St. Petersburg and Moscow.  That's not going to end well for any of you.  
  • All Russian or Russian-registered aircraft are banned from the UK as of midnight GMT tonight.
  • Canada has sanctioned 58 Russian counterparties, freezing their assets in the country.
  • Could be USA cyberattacks against Russia to prevent Russian military actions.  Start kissing your Internet goodbye, people...   
  • As well as American export controls against the Putin regime.
  • Some previous comments are coming back on a lot of the right-wing media, including Tucker Carlson openly rooting for Russia before Trump's first impeachment.
  • One of the first targets the Russians have successfully seized:  Whatever is at the Chernobyl power plant.
  • President Biden has cut all communication with Putin, and believes Putin wants the full Soviet Union back.   ... and I'm not sure he even wants to stop THERE anymore.   
  • It appears the annexation of Belarus is only a matter of time.  They are assisting in the Ukranian invasion.
  • Sean Penn is in the Ukraine and is going to make a documentary on the invasion.
