re: the ukraine war. to me ukraine and georgia really fucked up strategically when they gave up their nukes in exchange for western promises of protection. sachs's unstrategic peacemongering conveniently forgets to mention that.

sachs also patronizingly glosses over the right of ukraine's aspirations to join european prosperity freely, instead of submitting to be a province of the authoritarian disgrace next door. i mean-- if he's gonna tug at heartstrings, play the whole harp not just some choice notes

mearsheimer on the other hand speaks from a clear point of view, he's for american interests period, agree with him or not he's very clear about what he means and says, it makes perfect logical sense. he's infinitely more persuasive to me than sachs's "grandchildren"

anyway strategically putin's attacks were also a massive blunder. he didn't want nato next door, but it drove sweden and finland into the arms of the delian league. i mean nato lol. right there on the baltic, gave them no choice. breaking finland's neutrality was no easy feat but he did it. what a champ

and: western pressure or not, it was putin's choice to invade an independent country and start killing people instead of negotiating. "oh look at what they made me do" sure whatever

you're sentimentally placing the death toll as the responsibility of *your own alliance* well idk what to tell you. you're going to switch sides and fight for russia? join a brigade? christian army vs. the secular liberal democracy devils maybe? i think those tentacles have already been extended both ways. please just speak plainly instead of hinting

i'd rather see russia as part of europe than outside of it, but it looks like that ship has sailed now. score is 2-2, all of them own-goals i guess

we'll see what happens next. trump claims he'll fix it. i'll try to have neither fear nor hope

on other interesting news, trump's choice of bessent for treasury secretary boosted market confidence today

(best buddy's pick was not chosen. awaiting reaction...)

bessent used to work for soros! is a member of the council on foreign relations! (yes that very website i linked before is theirs)

oh, what will the paranoids say about this? hahahhahaa!
