Zelenskyy wrote an open letter to Putin‼️ ​"Whatever you say about NATO, geopolitics, and the russian language, this war is your personal choice—a war with no real reason. That is exactly how history will remember it."

After the White House complained about an unflattering photo of Karoline Leavitt, it was removed from AFP and Getty’s systems. This is the photo in question. Please do not repost it. 👇

BREAKING: A Russian newspaper today — “America no longer sees our country as a threat… The US leader’s philosophy is closer to the values of Russia’s president, not the politicians of the Old World… he sees Europe as a liberal stronghold that must be destroyed…” Read that again.

Anyone got any more questions about whether Donald Trump would do anything if the worst happens and Russia turns against NATO allies in Europe? Ukraine is Europe’s greatest ally now, and we need each other as dearly as never before.

Arnold Schwarzenegger eviscerated Trump for his pathetic submission to Putin — and he’s right. “Mr. President Trump, you stood there like a little white noodle, like a fanboy.” While Ukraine is invaded, its people slaughtered, Trump grovels before a dictator. That isn’t leadership. It’s betrayal.

I Google news headlines and generally get a number of free media outlets but now I get RTHK with propaganda about China celebrating 80 years of anti-fascism. To remove this result Google want me to register my name and preferences for news. It appears that the walls are rapidly closing in.

Imagine if when we invaded Iraq, three years in we only took a sliver of the country at the cost of 800,000 men. Would the conventional wisdom be that we are winning? No? Then why do some think Russia is?

Let me try to explain everything that's happening in the macroeconomy—recession fears, inflation concerns, the bond market jitters and the dollar falling—in the framework we teach in econ classes. It's my attempt at helping smart econ students make sense of the current moment.
