Iranian drone hits a high rise in Bahrain

Russia uses the same drones to attack #Ukraine every day and does the same hits of residential buildings in Kyiv, Kharkiv, Odessa, Drinpro and many other cities

Zelensky: "RUS used 57K+ Shahed strike drones against #Ukraine. UKR never threatened Iran, but the Iranian regime chose to be an accomplice for Putin& supplied him with Shaheds(drones&technology).It is fair to give the Iranian people a chance to get rid of the terrorist regime"

Ukraine and the new economics of war Lessons from four years of war: it’s the economy, stupid

A new piece by @martinsandbu.ft.com

"Put all this together, and it’s not much of an exaggeration to say that Europe and #Ukraine are, economically, the much stronger side in this war. It is time to realise this, and press the victory home."

100%

a great subtitle too: "it’s the economy, stupid"

What’s next for Ukraine: Investment Ukraine will emerge from this war with enormous debt. The conventional wisdom treats that as an obstacle: investors weigh it before committing capital, and the burden slows the recovery before it star...

UN GA vote on “Support for lasting peace in #Ukraine”

USA abstained. What a shame!

On Feb 24, 2022, my nephew (he was 7 years old at the time) wrote in his diary: "This night Russia attacked Ukraine and Kyiv too."

2) fiscal stimulus ↑
3) vital int'l aid
4) play econ cards well
5) adaptability of private sector

Four years after the terrible invasion of Ukraine, transshipments to Russia via Kyrgyzstan run rampant from Germany (top left) and Italy (top right). If Poland (bottom left) and Lithuania (bottom right) can get this under control, why not Germany and Italy?

The Mutually Beneficial Ties Between Jeffrey Epstein and ‘Mr. Human Rights’

Reminder:
After the 2014 annexation of Crimea, PACE stripped RUS of its voting rights. Jagland (then Sec Gen of CoE) was a leading proponent of restoring these rights. Many saw this as a "betrayal" that normalized the illegal annexation & signaled that Russia can break law w/o lasting consequences.

A rockstar-turned-fighter offers a lens on fame in Ukraine Serhiy Zhadan shows how poetry and patriotism have popular appeal

Serhiy Zhadan’s cult status reflects modern literary celebrity with a Ukrainian twist. In a country where supporting the armed forces is both essential and existential, Mr Zhadan uses social media expertly to spread his art and activism

Ukrainian engineers keep proving one thing: what Russia destroys, Ukraine rebuilds—sometimes within hours.

This is a nation at war: fast hands, calm nerves, and a refusal to break.

here's the link to that post

“Golden Age” is literally how Turkmenbashi & his enablers referred to his rule over Turkmenistan. The man was so fond of gold that he had multiple golden statues of himself erected all over Ashgabat. To hear the U.S. Secretary of Commerce use these exact words when addressing Trump is disorienting.

Today Trump nominated Kevin Warsh to be the next chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve

Today U.S. Department of Justice released a new batch of Epstein files. Name "Kevin Warsh" is in one of the files

www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

To be clear, Warsh was on the invite list. Maybe he didn't go there in the end... Or maybe he did. Maybe it is a nothingburger.

More info will come out at the Senate confirmation

In any case, one should expect impeccable reputation from a Fed chair

p.s.
correction: it was a different island

Who has the the fighting army in Europe to defend Europe?

Answer: Ukraine

‘Frontline journalism and filmmaking as we know it is dead’ — documenting the war in Ukraine Mstyslav Chernov embedded with troops to make the Bafta-nominated ‘2000 Meters to Adriivka’ — and show the conflict in all its horror

"2000 Meters to Andriivka" is a great film
