Ehhhhh. The Biden admin started the Ukraine war basically. This whole melt down is mostly due to the sanctions. Along with the fed raising interest rates
I'd say fifty fifty blame. The neolib system always created the kindling that would lead to nations such as Russia wanting to break away from western rule and domination by foreign capitol. For Ukraine I'd say blame goes all the way back to euromaidan and then now with Biden dragging this into a longterm proxy war has more or less signaled the hard decline of a neoliberal world order (especially since Venezuela is about to make bank selling oil at a premium to all the capitalist western countries now and will hopefully use this to better negotiate from a position of strength in the future).
American and European Russia phobia pushed them into a corner. It's been 30 years of Russia trying to get welcomed into the neo liberal club. And they just couldn't swallow their hate for the russians. Maybe American big oil also wanted Russia out of Europe also.
The euromaiden was a western coupe that in the years following Biden was involved with removing a prosecutor and most likely involved way earlier
I think the big thing was partly maintaining that cold war fronting against the communists (even though Russia was no longer communist) as well as trying to force Russia into similar situations as other former soviet states by being exploited as cheap labor and resources by the west. Also yeah euromaidan involved lots of individuals such as Biden and is another part of US foreign policy leading to a future hellscape.
i wouldnt worry much since firstly money is fake and if everyones 401ks permanently collapsed well we’d have a lot bigger problems on our hands lol
adn secondly you didnt lose that money you only “lose” it if you liquidate it….no idea what term to use there since ive never had a 401k or any kind of investment “portfolio” involving anything, besides the short length of time where i had a few k of monero and ethereum and maybe a few others (i actually had a helluva lot of doge back before :melon-musk: shilled it to hell to get even richer by selling all the doge he bought, after he went on that campaign to get the fans that worship him and suck his dick 24/7 to buy a shitload. as a sidenote i dont feel bad for any of these obnoxious twitter musk fans/crypto bros who lost money buying some stupid memecoin because their totally epic leader told them to)
If you're holding equities or any other assets that you can easily liquidate then there's really no functional difference between "losing" $50,000 in stock value or "losing" $50,000 in hard cash, regardless of whether you sell those stocks or not. Theoretically the stock valuation could go back up, but that's just as true as an equivalent amount of cash that you could invest in the market at those lower valuations.
As the other commenter said, don't withdrawal or sell any thing unless you absolutely need to. It'll recover over the next few years, unless society collapses completely.

The thing is. Russia didn't want to break away.
American and European Russia phobia pushed them into a corner. It's been 30 years of Russia trying to get welcomed into the neo liberal club. And they just couldn't swallow their hate for the russians. Maybe American big oil also wanted Russia out of Europe also.

it'll go right back up in a few years, just hope you don't need to withdrawal any

You’ll probably be ok even if you need to make the withdrawals. How much is the loss in % terms?
