I Examine economics, finance and their consequences. I support Ukraine; its struggle is the moral challenge of our time.

Even a no-fly discussion by Biden or NATO during Putin's runup would have given the Russians pause. Put simply, no command would consider an ambitious adventure like Putin's without the assurance of air supremacy.

But ... US keeping its word or doing the right thing is a bridge too damned far.

This video appeared showing the yesterday’s attack on the Russian seaport of Tuapse. The moment of the explosion of the Ukrainian USV showed a huge explosion.

If a law firm is unwilling to fight for itself how can clients be comfortable that the firm will fight for them?

A revealing interview with the former NATO Chief. Full article is on @thetimes.com website (paywalled) so here are a few highlights.

While I've been critical of NATO, this point is so important. @jensstoltenberg.bsky.social won't criticise Zelenskyy but Ukraine's President acted TOO LATE.

It's easy to criticize Zelensky but it is more accurate to pummel Biden who did not want to even discuss a no-fly zone over Ukraine.

This wasn't fear of WWIII but rather anxiety about rising gasoline prices in the US. Institutionalized timidity in Europe didn't help.
