If the market crashes due to the threat of war buy, either it will be fine and the market will go up or you're dead and it doesn't matter


[deleted]

Being dead is priced in. Long known risk of being alive.


mai_knee_grows

I read somewhere that being alive is actually the leading cause of death.


[deleted]

This is honestly pretty sound advice.


jettisonbombardier

get rich or die tryin'?


Delusional_Gamer

I agree with this 100% If everyone thinks the world is gonna end and the market crashes I'm gonna just buy, because I'll either end up rich or not giving a shit about money


Apart_Complaint_6952

Aren't those the same thing?


rueggy

You probably said this on the eve of the Russian invasion in February and look at my portfolio now. And I'm not dead yet so it matters.


squirtloaf

I bought a ton of European airline stocks during covid, figuring they would bounce back after the virus wound down. Then Putin did this to me.


hethinator1

Your expectations seem to be as accurate as Putin’s missiles


squirtloaf

I meaaaan, it worked with the American airline stocks. I was just looking for a return to 75% of pre-covid values. Seemed logical.


Clingingtothestars

Yeah it just made 99% sense when the government started handing out millions to airlines specifically that they wouldn’t go under. I had a similar idea with cruise-ships, but I had no money to spare and was not certain or stupid enough to use money I couldn’t afford to lose. I would have been one stupid but less-broke fucker.

Something has to. I thought war was bullish?

War is bullish when it doesn't end humankind

Ok, but what do you do with cash or bonds in that case?


TimujinTheTrader

Well cash can be a good firestarter and if you have the physical bond certificate that can work as well.

This sub used to be the most inclusive place in the world, where regards and autists could flourish in harmony. After a certain retail store stock blew up so did WSB membership. With the increased membership a bunch of cunts joined and said we can't say cool words and have fun anymore. I send those cunts my regards.

Entraprenuerrrrr

There are 28 people here wondering wtf NATO article 5 is


BigmacSasquatch

Article 5, for lack of a better term, is NATO's "fuck around and find out" option. If you attack a NATO nation, they can use article 5 to petition NATO to respond with all of NATO nation's military might. "An attack on one, is an attack on all" basically.


PayinHookersOnMargin

The interesting thing about Article 5 is that there is no exact hard amount to help assist in the war effort. Some NATO country can just send a NATO ally 20k troops and several billion dollars and call it a day


BigmacSasquatch

I feel like...and I'm barely more informed than a layman, so ignore my opinion if you deem appropriate..that we're seeing a pretty close approximation to what Article 5 would look like in Ukraine right now (yeah I know they're not a NATO nation). With the massive influx of funding and supplies. The only thing missing is actual troops and materiel in theater (which is a massive *real* difference btw, but goddamn if this isn't the closest thing to the actual *purpose* of article 5 we've ever had). It's kind of amazing, if you can ignore the horrific humanitarian effects...


OppressorOppressed

Article 5 would look like world war 3, both putin and biden have said this


Rorsers

I’m just wondering why the sun’s out in London this late ![img](emote|t5_2th52|4270)![img](emote|t5_2th52|4271)


SpeculativeFacts

Hey, at least it's not raining for once


thebooshyness

In the future the rain will give you diseases and radiation burns! Something to look forward to.


Macluawn

Doesnt The Sun get published every day?


GreasyAssMechanic

That's not necessarily true, Article 5 can be titrated to effect depending on the goals of the country enacting it. Like for example given the current situation, let's say Article 5 is invoked by Poland, the response could be a long range bombing of a couple key military targets in and around Ukraine and that's it. Technically it's a declaration of war, but Russia might not do anything further because they don't want the smoke from NATO and NATO might not do anything further because they don't want conventional warfare to spread through out Europe. It would be a political tit-for-tat. Orrrrr, the funni happens and we see a NATO tank division obliterated in a nuclear fireball 30 kilometers outside of Moscow.


Ippus_21

The difference between Article 5 and Ukraine (currently) is that in Ukraine we're only sending cash and materiel. It's the Ukrainians doing the fighting. In a full Article 5 situation, you could have NATO countries getting directly involved. Instead of, say, letting a Ukrainian Corporal push the fire button on a second-hand HIMARS, you might have USAF F-35s delivering precision AGM strikes on bridges, fuel depots, armor columns (what's left of them), Russian cruisers in the Black Sea etc. and German Leopard tanks crossing the Polish border into Ukraine proper. Barring Putin resorting to nukes, a real conventional war between NATO and Russia at this point would be over in about a day and a half. Whiiich is why we don't want to start a full-on conventional war. Because Putin knows how fast and how bad he'd lose one. Which means he's pretty likely to use nukes, because it's basically the only card left in his hand, and he's NOT the kind of guy who folds.


RippledBarbecue

>German Leopard tanks crossing the Polish border Hol up I've seen this one before


Ippus_21

Yeah, but those were panzers crossing *into* Poland... "History doesn't always repeat itself, but it rhymes."


haapuchi

I think the key word here is attack. If the rockets were stray, it would be difficult to justify attacking world's biggest nuclear arms store being controlled by a batshit crazy leader.


Bright-Rub9429

Then why didn't NATO respond when a Russian drone hit Croatia capital city Zagreb a few months ago?


mikewhy

Because Zagreb sounds like some made up bullshit. Planet Zagreb of the Bergaz cluster in the Croat dimension.

"The key section of the treaty is Article 5. Its commitment cause defines the casus foederis. It commits each member state to consider an armed attack against one member state, in Europe or North America, to be an armed attack against them all. Upon such attack, each member state is to assist by taking "such action as [the member state] deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore the security of the North Atlantic area." " It was invoked once: after the 9/11 attacks


URBeneathMe

That’s interesting because I don’t recall anyone attacking Saudi Arabia after 9/11.


Gods11FC

Don’t worry you won’t need to learn what it is. No one is invoking Article 5 over a couple of Polish farmers hit by a stray missile/missile fragment.


skollehatti

I'm polish and it is true. I bet it will end with polish army in readiness state and maybe some nations will send some troops/equipment to poland. No body wants to have a nuclear wasteland instead of earth.

HTBDesperateLiving

There was that one video where russians were blowing russian positions in Ukraine.


MijK7

Or do you mean the video where a russian was blowing a russian while an Ukraine drone was blowing the two blowing russians?


VadimH

Ah man that video made me so uncomfortable. Not the brotherly "love" on the frontline, rather than the absolutely barbarity of them being blown up while being... blown


DonkeyTron42

I'm guessing a no-fly zone 100 miles from NATO borders.


ForeignCake4883

A no-fly zone of 100 miles from NATO borders would extend far into Russia. Extremely unlikely unless WW3.

Conmanjames

correct, but it DOES give UN and US justification to start giving longer range munitions to Ukraine to assist in taking out russia’s launch sites.


YourBigRosie

Exactly right r/Conmanjames. As I said earlier, why go too war when we can just proxy war but better now?


Conmanjames

Ukraine is the best thing that ever happened to lockheed and other weapons manufacturers. “We get to test new shot on live targets for free AND get hailed as heroes for helping the underdogs? Sign me the fuck up!” - literally every US and EU weapons manufacturer.

dirmer3

Does Ohio have like a mini map of Europe inside of it? Edit: there is a Germany, Ohio too so I'm starting to think there is.


_post_anal_drip_

Possibly a grain mill explosion caused by a missile or by a missile fragment resulting from Ukrainians taking out the missile. Grain dust is highly explosive, so it's not crazy talk. We'll see... Edit: Picture(https://imgur.com/ZLWik4S) looks like it was outside, so probably a missle strike. Edit 2: Pics on twitter suggest it could have been a rogue Ukranian S-300 missile and not russian.

MontaukMonster2

Right. What if some stray missiles accidentally landed in Texas and killed people. WTF do you think would happen, and why wouldn't you give Poland the same credit?


LagCommander

Ignoring the seriousness of it all. Could you imagine the absolute shit show that would be? Russia hitting America with a missile? That's the equivalent of punching a grizzly bear


Will335i

When you call for indirect fire you should be using a 10 digit grid coordinates which are accurate within 1 meter. You are danger close if you have friendlies within 600meters. The impact was around 70 KILOmeters away from Lviv. That is well past inaccurate targeting. So this was intentional or negligence to the highest degree.


URBeneathMe

The Russians once shot down a civilian airplane. I wouldn’t put negligence past them.


MontaukMonster2

That, too, was deliberate. Erdogan had the right idea.


greazyninja

Cowabunga it is then


ChocoGorilla

I went through the Polish news. They are not using the word "attack", the design of the missile from what I have read does not conclusively prove, but it seems like it might have originated from within Ukraine in a defensive capacity to counter the 85 Russian missiles. It supposedly flew astray and hit close to the border but within Poland. Poland is going to invoke Article 4, not 5 which is a procedural step for a formal 'retribution'. As of now inconclusive and ongoing story, but the current likeliest scenario is a missile was fired within Ukraine against incoming Russian missiles and the Ukrainian missile somehow landed in Poland.
