I believe the RU war opens a new door to a lot of grief and opportunities. My company has X teams in Ukraine and Y teams in Belarus and we had to evacuate all teams in the recent weeks. Those teams take care of most of the IT-Ops and Big data infrastructures and the invasion impacted us greatly. All in all, I see immediate impact to the IT world is that Former-USSR countries will quickly lose the IT premium. During the last decade a lot of IT Operation business was out-sourced to Ukraine, Belarus as well as Romania (while not a former USSR republic, it is in the neighborhood of Ukraine). With geopolitics events fold out, all such business is going to flow to other part of the world. In the long run, the world is probably going to be more fractured. Not to say globalization is going to end, but it's going to pause for a while. Geopolitics events can and will impact commodity prices and trigger weird shits on the future market. We are also going to say more chaos in countries which produce a lot of commodities but have a weaker economy as everyone needs more commodity under their belt. It also impacts whoever is in the middle of two major players. Poland for example has long been a major production base in EU. However, if Russia is able to swallow Ukraine in whole, theoretically the whole Poland is not going to be safe (enough). I wonder what could be the consequences of such geopolitical events.
