🚨🇺🇦🇷🇺 ZELENSKY PULLS OUT OF DAVOS AFTER MAJOR RUSSIAN AIR ATTACK ON KYIV
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has canceled his Davos appearance after Russia launched one of its largest aerial assaults of the war on Kyiv.
The scale of the attack:
339 drones
33 missiles
Nearly one-third of the capital briefly left without power
Zelensky also sent a clear message: the U.S. can and should do more — through pressure, leverage, and real consequences.
He was prepared to attend the World Economic Forum in Switzerland, but withdrew unless Donald Trump personally agreed to meet with him.
Trump, meanwhile, added confusion by floating the idea of a so-called “Board of Peace,” inviting both Ukraine and Russia, seemingly believing Kyiv and Moscow could sit at the same table while missiles are still raining down.
Zelensky dismissed the idea as unrealistic.
As global leaders gather to discuss stability and economic growth, Putin escalates the war.
Zelensky stays in Kyiv, dealing with air defenses and power outages.
One leader is fighting a war.
The rest are networking.

🚨 ALERT: A MAJOR CRASH IS BREWING
The Fed just released new macro data — and it’s far worse than expected.
We’re moving toward a global market breakdown, and most people don’t even realize it yet.
This is deeply bearish for risk assets.
If you’re holding positions right now, what comes next likely won’t be pleasant.
What’s unfolding is not normal.
A systemic funding crisis is quietly building beneath the surface, and almost no one is positioned for it.
The Fed is already reacting — fast.
Balance sheet expanded by ~$105B
Standing Repo Facility added $74.6B
Mortgage-backed securities jumped $43.1B
Treasuries? Only $31.5B
This is not bullish QE.
This is emergency liquidity — funding tightened, banks needed cash, and they needed it immediately.
When the Fed absorbs more MBS than Treasuries, it’s a warning sign. It signals declining collateral quality — something that only shows up during stress.
Now step back and look at the bigger problem most are ignoring.
U.S. national debt is at record highs, structurally — not just on paper. Over $34 trillion, rising faster than GDP.
Interest costs are exploding and consuming a growing share of the federal budget. The U.S. is now issuing new debt just to service old debt.
That’s a debt spiral.
Treasuries are no longer truly “risk-free.” They’re a confidence trade — and confidence is starting to crack.
Foreign demand is weakening. Domestic buyers are highly price-sensitive. Which quietly forces the Fed into the role of buyer of last resort — whether they admit it or not.
That’s why funding stress is critical. You can’t sustain record debt when funding tightens. You can’t run trillion-dollar deficits while collateral quality deteriorates. And you can’t keep pretending this is normal.
And this isn’t just the U.S.
China is facing the same issue at the same time. The PBoC injected 1.02 trillion yuan in a single week via reverse repos.
Different country. Same problem. Too much debt. Not enough trust.
A global system built on rolling liabilities nobody truly wants to hold.
When both the U.S. and China inject liquidity simultaneously, that’s not stimulus. That’s the global financial plumbing starting to clog.
Markets always misread this phase. They see liquidity injections and scream “bullish.”
They’re wrong.
This isn’t about pumping prices. It’s about keeping funding alive. And once funding breaks, everything becomes a trap.
The sequence never changes:
Bonds move first
Funding markets show stress
Equities ignore it — until they can’t
Crypto gets hit the hardest
Now look at the signal that actually matters.
Gold at all-time highs. Silver at all-time highs.
This isn’t growth. This isn’t inflation. This is capital rejecting sovereign debt.
Money is fleeing paper promises and moving into hard collateral. That never happens in a healthy system.
We’ve seen this setup before:
2000 before the dot-com crash
2008 before the GFC
2020 before the repo market froze
Every time, recession followed.
The Fed is boxed in.
Print aggressively → metals explode and signal loss of control
Don’t print → funding seizes and debt becomes unserviceable
Risk assets can ignore reality — but never forever.
This isn’t a normal cycle. This is a quiet balance-sheet, collateral, and sovereign debt crisis forming in real time.
By the time it’s obvious, most people will already be positioned wrong.
Position yourself wisely if you want to survive 2026.
I’ve been calling major tops and bottoms for over a decade. When I make my next move, I’ll post it here first.
