Ukraine Aiming To Create Chaos Within Russian Forces – Zelenskiy Adviser ("Mykhailo Podolyak says Russian supply lines will be targeted and predicts similar attacks to last week’s explosion at Crimean airbase." Targeting Russian logistics on the territory of Russia, Ukraine should keep in mind that Russia has escalation dominance. This also applies to countries supplying Ukraine with long-range weapons. Does the West want to escalate to the point of involving itself militarily? As Biden said, "that's WWIII.")

Mike has been saying this forever, too, as would anyone knowledgeable about MMT. Interest payments constitute a fiscal add.)Warren Mosler

Provoking China is working. So Washington will keep the provocations coming.
ReplyDeleteAbsorption of Ukraine by its European neighbours seems to be the best recipe for peace.
ReplyDeleteWe’re an unconscious species whipped about by unconscious forces we can’t really explain and have no real control over, and then telling ourselves stories to rationalize why things are the way they are.
ReplyDeleteSo much for being special, or having souls, or being in the image of God. We're just animals with technology.
No one will agree with Caitlin on that statement. By definition we are conscious, possess self-awareness, and are sentient and sapient. It's just that we are driven mainly by instinct. Enlightenment is mostly talk, behavior is mostly action. Behavior wins.
