Ukraine

The S&P 500 just ended its worst month since March 2020 as investors fret about coming interest rate hikes and uncertainty over the situation in Ukraine.

On the menu today: Accounts of the phone call between President Biden and Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky offer an unnerving portrait of a Ukrainian leader who is in denial about the risk of a full-scale Russian invasion, and an American leader who doesn’t want to send any more weapons, after equipping the Ukrainians to fight a ground war without any air cover.

Democrat President Joe Biden plummeted to a new low in a Harvard Harris poll released this week as the majority of Americans now say that he is too old for office and have questions about his mental fitness.

Recent polling indicates that only about 15% of Americans support American assistance being sent to Ukraine in the event of a Russian invasion.

President Joe Biden said he would not deploy combat troops to Ukraine amid concerns that Russian troops could invade the country.

A remarkable failure of meaningful reporting about the massive military buildup in and around Ukraine in recent weeks results in most Americans having no idea how close we have been brought to armed conflict with the Russian Federation.
