Yesterday it was news of Argentina heating up the conflict over the Falkland Islands. Over the weekend, the President in waiting and "Man of Action Figure" complete with numb chucks, Hiking gear, a submarine and jet fighter, Putin, suffered a humiliating defeat in Parliamentary elections that saw his United Russia 9 think that's what they are called) party loose substantial seats and power as the communist party took the votes. Today students are protesting and shouting Russia without Putin.
It seems wherever you look on the globe, something is either cooking, is on simmer and will start cooking again or a new burner has been ignited. It's just a matter of time before a misunderstanding really heats things up.
I recently talked about how volatile the market was, just this week in fact, but do you notice how the entire world seems to be somehow in the middle of some brewing or long standing conflict in some manner? I don't ever remember a time like this.
