Land is a little hard to take to the grocery store. Unless you count pocket lint as "land".
Don't forget lead, gunpowder, and whiskey...all good for trade.

Well, the CNN article and Forbes seem to be in disagreement about the Stinger missile. This article from Forbes claims the Stinger is out of production. Also, it mentions the plant in Iowa that makes Javelin warheads and how it needs modernized and better security.
CNN wouldn’t be trying to protect the Biden administration by putting a positive spin on this would they?
Ukraine’s Use Of Stinger And Javelin Missiles Is Outstripping U.S. Production
The Ukraine war hit America's shoulder-fired missile industrial base just when it was hoping to take a breather and modernize. Today, all those plans no longer apply.www.forbes.com
This guy has an interesting look at our financial situation both domestically and as it pertains to the rest of the world. In a different video he talks about the demographics of both Russia and China and how the war between Russia & Ukraine is going to accelerate the dissolution of both Russia and China. According to him, yeah, we're going to be hurting in the next few years, but the _world_ is going to be in MUCH worse shape. If you don't think this guy is full of it, check out the hour-long lecture he gave to military officers (looks like possibly the Army War College.)Land and food, most definitely. Gold? Not so much.
Why Investing in Precious Metals Is a Bad Idea
When it comes to investing, are gold, silver or platinum the way to go? Not even a little bit. Investing in precious metals is a bad idea, and here’s why.www.ramseysolutions.com
“At no time has gold been used as a medium of exchange of a crashed economy since the Roman Empire.” - Dave Ramsey
We ain't going back to a gold standard, and if the economy collapses to the point that the US dollar is worthless, ain't nobody going to trade their food stores and toilet paper for shiny trinkets. In that scenario, the best precious metals to have on hand are brass and lead.

I did some research and the Stinger does seem to be out of production in the US. They stockpiled a few thousand and are waiting to develop a next generation MANPADS. It looks like it is in production under license in Germany and Turkey however.Of course.
Are they going to build a factory that can build thousands a day, and then idle it?
Probably also built NOT under licence is a few other countries as well, just like a lot of military hardware.I did some research and the Stinger does seem to be out of production in the US.

A RUSSIAN commander has reportedly killed himself after finding out that 90 per cent of his unit's infamous Z tanks are useless.
Ukraine claimed the commander of the "13th tank regiment" shot himself upon realising the majority of vehicles in his unit were unusable due to parts being stolen.
I'm inclined to believe the part about the tanks and vehicles. I don't think the Russians were very proficient in securing parts and maintenance and logistics.. Those three aspects will bring any campaign to a screeching halt if not executed properly..No idea if it's true ...

Fertilizer prices 1993-present (Source Bloomberg terminal 3/25/2022)
What would happen to your yield/profit margin without fertilizer?I’m a small part time farmer. Spring of 21 I paid $7000 for dry fertilizer on 150 ac of corn.
September of 21 I pre bought dry, same amount for $20,000
They just offered me pre order, paid up front in August for fall 22- winter 23 application $25,000
No thanks, I’ll take my chances in 23 or do something different
Having worked with WRM (war reserve materiel) three different times in my USAF Supply days, I have to think this provides the sharp contrast between the professional force (particularly in the Enlisted Corps) of the US Military and the corrupt worthless bags of excrement that make up the Rooskie military.I'm inclined to believe the part about the tanks and vehicles.

Twilight Zone season 3 episode 3 (Shelter) had a good line in it.
Neighbors freaking out because he won't (can't) fit everyone in.
And he yelled at them that while they were having parties and spending all their money, he was saving and spending it on the shelter. And that they sat there and called him names for it, TILL THEY NEEDED IT.

Saw this the other day on the news. Seems I wasn't the only one that didn't think Putin would invade Ukraine, the Russian Military didn't think so either. Makes me feel better. Makes sense, Putin asks if military is ready.....whose going to tell him no....and then why?No idea if it's true ...

I agree with the contrast. Seems to me the Russian "military" is an undisciplined hodge podge cobbled together in all aspects rather than a cohesive professional force.Having worked with WRM (war reserve materiel) three different times in my USAF Supply days, I have to think this provides the sharp contrast between the professional force (particularly in the Enlisted Corps) of the US Military and the corrupt worthless bags of excrement that make up the Rooskie military.
