Sri Lankan anons, are you okay? I saw the following posted in an earlier thread:
-Fuel prices skyrocketed -FX reserves dried up -Power cuts last >13hrs a day -SL stock market trading halted due to -10% crash today -No supplies of basics like milk, toilet papers, & ink -Mass protests -Tanks now being brought into streets
It is also a China vassal state. Hope they kill each other bigly

It's probably got less to do with this considering how there are plenty of other chink vassal states who are stable for now and more to do with how the global supply chain is getting the shit kicked out of it even before the war started. It's just indicative of where the world is headed imo, Sri Lanka is a canary in the coalmine type thing. Basically buy the fuck out of commodities if you can afford to. If you can't, buy staple foods and maybe a few silver ounces.
