"You adults are really funny!"

This is how my young daughter laughed at me while discussing her thoughts approaching adulthood!

On February 21st she turned 15, and almost 15% of her life she experienced insane discussions around COVID-19 and now stupid argumentation explaining a war!

Her sarcastic approach initiated a small study of this Russian invasion to Ukraine in a quantitative way, just like Graypes GmbH evaluates businesses ( geopolitical conflict is a great business ):

This war is between:

@ Poor People with an average wage per month of $295 in #Ukraine and $891 in Russia, while in Switzerland is $6.885 and Denmark $5.251. (source: https://lnkd.in/dN2rcx6T )

@ Corrupted #Administrations, as per the Corruption Perceptions Index, with Russia bottoming 136/180 and Ukraine 122/180, while Switzerland is top 7/180 and Denmark is the leading trusted and reliable administration! (source: https://lnkd.in/drWA6d3H )

And some financial facts:

@ 2 Trillion USD is the global military budget in 2020, among the top 10 top business markets.

@ 30% of total Russia Exports (2019) is Crude Petroleum, topping USD105/bbl after Russia attacks Ukraine, for the first time since 2014 (source: https://lnkd.in/dGP-BWPP )

@ 40-60% higher gas prices close, in one day on Thursday, Feb 24, after the invasion, while 180 billion cubic metres (bcm) of gas a year Russia exports to Europe and Ukraine ( https://lnkd.in/dniRT3fW )

@ 70 Billion USD is the estimated net worth of Putin ( source: https://lnkd.in/dgHZqJN2 )

One more war, instrumented by the wealthy elites, justified by generalist ideologies, supported by contracted propaganda, and executed over the blood of the poor people.

Yes, we humans are really "funny", and perhaps even more insane than the sarcastic view of the "Monty Python and the Meaning of Life"

P.S. Once the markets fully recover, perhaps this might be the time for China to invade Taiwan!
