The temporary ceasefire was an idiotic idea..good riddance! Since the Ukraine, like Israel, is a criminal State, which is not agreement capable ,assassinates its "enemies", and traffics children, women, and organs, its whole government should be on trial for war crimes...
You are welcome, Jim. I am glad that you are able to make use of it. I cannot help but want to understand how everything is working in our world, especially when it is so threatening overall.
Obviously, the "cease fire" proposal is a trojan horse and the Russians know this. Trump and his Merry Band of Oligarchs and Reformed Neocons are acting somewhat.... neoconish...
Won't work and what a colossal waste of resources. Just bullheaded and wasteful. No, many of the troops/mercenaries trapped now along the border with Kursk will not be spared. From what I can tell, if you are a mercenary, known Maiden type/party member, or a drone operator, you are probably shit out of luck. Your Buster Scruggs moment has arrived. You've been dealt aces and eights.
Yes, we are headed for huge changes here in the US. That's been pretty obvious to some of us for a decade. I think there will be epochal changes globally during the next 50 years. It's too early to tell how that will shake out here in the US. It's going to be rough - possibly very rough - for successive generations. I'm pretty sure of that.
Even Trump has a political window, within which he must operate. He has to appear to approach Putin stepwise, and is already criticized for "giving him everything".
I think Trump wants an Arctic Alliance with Russia, which is good gamesmanship for both countries.
Yeah, the days of excess got whittled down to the top echelon, and are about to end, but we may still have days-of-enough for a couple of decades, after this rough spot.

Well, … I don't buy that! The way I see it, Trump is yet another POTUS handling numerous, ongoing projects.
Russia project is just one of those. Russia project is to balkanize Russia through the ongoing proxy war. Via Ukraine. But it’s not working. Bummers, …
… next step: How about rejigging proxy forces a bit, … get lots and lots of help - boots on the ground - for Ukraine by assembling “coalition of the willing” - comprising of European nations ( … but no NATO itself. Oh, no! ), and have-a-run-at-it one more time. Have them fighting, this round - all the way to the last European!

The 100 year, zero coupon bond is a remarkably transparent theft scheme...Don't see how any country or person could fall for that....
I think that's Trump's "Big Ask" play, and they will go to gold, myself.
John, thank you so much for so often digging up a profound mix of points of view and related in-depth information in one place!

Good blog.
Will your blog have an influence with the answers that The AI will come up when looking at The #1 problem that Trump is trying to fix with Tariffs?
Danger Will Robinson, Danger! Danger!

Or the bad space weather may hit...
It does look as if the multi polar world is dividing up what's left of the pie. Chindia wants a chunk as well. Could be a very rough patch indeed!
China and India are deeply different in how people think and engage in large, dense populations, and can never truly harmonize.
I'm watching. China has the advantage of being able to move fast as everybody follows the leader (until they revolt).
India has the advantage of every person holding fractals of the social (caste) structure internally, so that it persists through hard times.
Cheating and niggling is common in both countries.
India has a lot of good farmland and small farmers.
Bad space weather will hit where it wants, anywhere...

Yeah.... Almost part of my youth.... I do like the Coen bothers....
I had to look them up. I saw The Big Lebowski, and I've heard of some of their other movies. They have a cute sense of humor, from that one movie.
They may have listened to Firesign Theater in their misspent youth. We're about the same age.
Uh huh. Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?, Hail Caesar, and Ballad of Buster Scruggs are fine films.

It may just work. No?
