Blog postfrom Al Jazeera There are many ways the Russian War on Ukraine could escalate, but most articles only discuss ONE of them. Why do you suppose? Here is my list . . .
Russia attacks Finland and Sweden to prevent them joining NATO (probably with missiles, since their troops are tied up in Ukraine). Both have said they are going to join NATO. Russia already attacked Ukraine to prevent it joining NATO. Russian spokesman Peskov said such a move would not be existential (Russia would not use -
Blog postWhile you eat breakfast and go about your day, 300,000 civilian hostages in Mariupol may be killed.
Russia issued an ultimatum. Ukrainians refused to surrender.
There may already have been such a massacre in Kherson. Remember the protests when Russia took it? Streets are now empty, buildings are empty, survivors allege Russia killed EVERYONE!
To evaluate for yourself, watch this video https://www.cnn.com/videos/world/2022/03/21/russia-myko -
Blog postSummary: A review of major incidents suggests the US has had to some degree all of the problems now evident in the Russian government-military apparatus. It improved the transparency of its handling of war crime incidents through the early 1970s, culminating with the removal of a US President who had covered up the extent of the Vietnam War and illegally attempted to discredit the person who disclosed that information. Then the US began backsliding until in the present day persons who’ve perf

Blog postTroop movements are reversible. Construction of a tactical bridge in an unpopulated radioactive ecological reserve 4 miles from the border is not a bluff. Nor is it a joint military exercise with Belarus purely used by Russia to intimidate Ukraine. It is an invasion plan into which resources are being poured.
From CNN Please translate this and forward to everyone you know inside Russia, so that the people there will have exposure to something other than state media focused on false fl -

Blog postRussian, US and NATO bases in Europe, MIGFlug On the surface Russia, the EU and the US are arguing over whether Ukraine should ever be permitted to join NATO. The issue behind that is Russia doesn’t want NATO bases on its borders. Look at the above map. How many NATO bases do you see on Russia’s borders?
Zero. OK, how many Russian bases do you see on or near Europe’s borders, including non-aligned states? Include Belarus in your count.
At least 8 and you could count the two i -

Blog postOn December 30th fire whipped by 100 mph winds quickly burned through suburbs of Denver in Superior and Louisville. This is an area I drive through often, so I’m familiar with it and appalled at the rate of development in the last 25 years. It is right where Denver outskirts meet the Great Plains, but 5 to 8 miles from the Rocky Mountains. Is it urban or suburban?

Blog postAn open letter to my lifelong economist friend, Rajnish Mehra, co-discoverer of the Equity Premium Puzzle
LA shipping backlog, WSJ Hi Rajnish,
You will probably disagree with what I’m about to say, as economists were very much behind this idea 20 years ago. But I think there is enough data now to say unequivocally it failed.
This article https://www.bbc.com/news/business-59610019 posits that admitting China to the WTO was “the root imbalance behind the financial
