Which Headline Does The New York Times Go With? January 23, 2022

Business as usual? Ukraine taken by Russia. Does the world continue buying natural gas and oil from Russia as if nothing happened?

If not, that takes a lot of oil off the global market.

Boston (ISO NE) burns a lot of Russian oil, as just one example.

Would Biden ban Russian oil imports to the US? The US imports more oil from Russia than the Soviet Union.

A few added bullets to the blog's post:

• Top stories?
• Ukraine coming to a head: it's "go" time for Putin. Now or never. It certainly looks like he's taking a page out of Schwarzenegger's playbook for "shock and awe." 
• look at the forces being assembled on the border;
• no logistical obstacles;if Putin goes, this will be over in 24 hours. 
•  the most interesting thing: "everyone" is looking at what the US will do; has anyone asked what Germany or France will do? LOL. France won't do a thing. Germany knows NATO is a paper tiger. 
• 40% of Europe's natural gas comes from Russia; a lot of winter left.
• Biden's military option: US troops in eastern Europe, but not Ukraine
• headlines: US sends troops to Latvia; Russia takes Ukraine -- which headline does The New York Times lead with?
