Oh, I’m sure you will treat this with the seriousness it requires. You have after all regulated the use of leaded gasoline, asbestos, financial engineering, land mines, mass tobacco marketing… eventually.

I don’t think this will go over well in Russia. He admits that:

- Russia was poor and desperate
- Gave up their foothold on the American continent
- Sold Alaska for pennies

This reads as foreshadowing of what is to come in Russia’s far east.

No, it should be formed by a group of likeminded and democratic nations. Not Hungary. Not Turkey. Not US πŸ˜”

Mark Galeotti’s podcast, β€œIn Moscow’s shadows” episode 226 goes into why superstition is so prevalent in Russian culture.

I guess bribes are more important than quality to the Indian generals.

1/ The Wall Street Journal reports that the main focus of the US-Russia peace talks is to get commercial advantage for American companies, and personal benefits for individuals linked to the Trump Administration. European officials are said to be shocked by the plans. ⬇️

For definite proof, we’ll have to wait for PΓ₯l Jonsson’s memoirs in 10 years. I found this quote illuminating:

"Even in aircraft like the Gripen, there are certain components that require the consent of other allies. It's always a process, and we are, in fact, in such a process." - Andriy Sybiha

US did not even formally block the export - it was enough to suggest that it would not be approved. Sweden kept playing nice not to anger our fragile ally in the west.

"We have been urged by the other countries in the coalition to wait with the Gripen system," Defence Minister Pal Jonson told TT

It was blocked by the US because Gripen contained a US engine.

Some new line of thoughts for you: Russia is attacking a peaceful Ukraine and are committing crimes against humanity. Posting in all caps is something angry teens do.
