Russias defeat is the top global priority for 2023 ... The world has already paid a terrible price for handing Russia the geopolitical initiative.

J. Robert Oppenheimer Cleared ofBlack Mark After 68 YearsThe physicist and architect of the American atomic bomb was stripped of his security clearance in 1954 after what is now called a flawed investigation.
Oppenheimer Clearance Removal Vacated ... Heres whats not in the Granholm statement or an NYT article on the decision. In the early 1950s, Oppenheimer was not sufficiently in favor of developing the hydrogen bomb.

Oppenheimer had humiliated Lewis Straus, the chairman of the AEC, in a congressional hearing for his lack of knowledge of science. The knives were out ... no evidence was presented in the hearing that the two men precipitated on Oppenheimers security clearance that he was disloyal to the United States. Just that they didnt like the cut of his jib. And they won at the time. (plus, you know, he was Jewish)

Among the documents that remain largely hidden: 44 related to a shadowy CIA agent, George Joannides, and a covert Cuba-related program he ran that came into contact with Lee Harvey Oswald less than four months before Kennedy was shot ... Pentagon plan ..Operaton Northwoods ... false flag attack ... blame Cuba ... make up for aborted Bay of Pigs ... (very fishy) ... But the CIA disclosed none of that information and appointed Joannides as an agency liaison to investigators, which impeded the 1976 House Select Committee on Assassinations investigation ... Bradford discovered 20 years ago that the first recorded conversation between then-President Lyndon Johnson and then-FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover 22 hours after the assassination was mysteriously erased.

The Pandemic and War Not Government Spending Caused Inflation, According to Nobel Prize Winner - A new paper by Joseph Stiglitz and Ira Regmi has huge implications for everything about who holds power in American life ... insufficient supply ... not the result of significant excesses of aggregate demand such as might have arisen from excessive U.S. pandemic spending ... This means large, fast increases in interest rates by the Federal Reserve will not substantially lower inflation unless they induce a major contraction in the economy, which is a cure worse than the disease (hello Biden and Powell) ... If Regmi and Stiglitz are correct, it suggests that we can use the tools of the government to make life better for almost everyone ... So the uncomfortable truth is that the top 1 percent generally prefer a slower-growing economy with higher unemployment to its opposite ... The people running things almost always would rather be firmly in charge of a weaker institution than be part of a stronger institution in which their power can be challenged ... 43 years through 2018 if the income distribution had remained at 1975s level. RANDs finding: The bottom 90 percent would have taken home a cumulative $50 trillion more in pay. (And of course the top 10 percent would have taken home $50 trillion less.) Again, this was a political choice, not an economic necessity ... increasing energy and food costs.

We cannot make social media good, because it is fundamentally bad, deep in its very structure. All we can do is hope that it withers away, and play our small part in helping abandon it

A map of the approximate situation on the ground in Ukraine as of 00:00 UTC 11/10/22. There have been no notable changes to control since the last update.
New: #Russian forces conducted massive, coordinated missile strikes on over 20 #Ukrainian cities. Putin claimed the strikes were in retaliation for the explosion on the Kerch Strait Bridge, likely in part to curry favor with pro-war factions.
From a human rights point of view, the attacks were inexcusable and will likely be ruled as war crimes. From the battlefield perspective, the Russian armed forces just dropped hundreds of millions of dollars to achieve basically nothing.

A Public Health Success Story - The New York Times We revisit the subject of Covid and racial inequities.

The Killers - Lawyers, Guns & Money We estimate substantially higher excess death rates for registered Republicans when compared to registered Democrats, with almost all of the difference concentrated in the period after vaccines were widely available in our study states. Overall, the excess death rate for Republicans was 5.4 percentage points (pp), or 76%, higher than the excess death rate for Democrats. Post- vaccines, the excess death rate gap between Republicans and Democrats widened from 1.6 pp (22% of the Democrat excess death rate) to 10.4 pp (153% of the Democrat excess death rate)

U.S. adult hesitancy to be vaccinated against Covid is associated with misbeliefs about vaccines in general, such as that vaccines contain toxins like antifreeze, and about specific vaccines, such as the fears that the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine causes autism : science

The Upcoming National Abortion Ban - Lawyers, Guns & Money (gay flimsy-dimsy is coming for your uterus)
Lindsey Graham Climbs Out on a Limb with Abortion Ban Bill : His colleagues are backing away like it's a fart in an elevator, and Democrats are whetting their attack ads. - I'm going to assume that Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-Soulless) has come up with this latest exercise in bad faith on his own, tapping into the native duplicity and naked ambition he exercised back when he first got famous in the pursuit of Bill Clinton in 1998. After all, his current patron is busy down in Florida, dodging a hail of writs and hiring everyone who ever walked past a law school to represent him in courts from Albany to Fort Pierce. No, I think the senator is on his own hook this time. After all, this is the same kind of faith-based, suicidal insanity for which conservative Republicanism was known in the days before it became just another gold-plated commode.
Eschaton: Dumb Or Pretending To Be Dumb Graham has been a major anti-abortion crusader his whole career, but portraying him as a reasonable moderate despite having never been a "reasonable moderate" even by the easy standards of these things on *a single issue* won't stop access journalists from playing along.

All Grand Compromises and Let The States Decide. Congrats, this is it.

Even though the US consistently denies having transferred ATACMS missiles directly to Ukraine, there is no denying that the ongoing missile strikes on russian high value targets in Crimea look a lot - like seriously a LOT - like ATACMS strikes

Yes, but that is very gentle mode of war from the Russian perspective. Those who decry happening as "madness" or call it "unimaginable" are either clueless (Westerners) or liars (Russians). Russian war in Ukraine is going on *extremely* soft mode. Because Ukraine has air defence ... 5: Russia is a large and strong military machine without *any* ethical or humanitarian concerns. In Syria they literally depopulated a large country. Russian public opinion ignores or endorses it. Ergo, Russia must be demilitarised to minimise the danger it poses to the world
If Ukraine didnt have significant air defense, Russia could have resorted to the same indiscriminate use of the air-force as in Syria or Chechnya. But it cant.

A Drop in Murders - The New York Times - Despite the grim headlines, 2022 is less violent so far than last year ... Nationwide, shootings are down 4 percent this year compared to the same time last year. In big cities, murders are down 3 percent. If the decrease in murders continues for the rest of 2022, it will be the first year since 2018 in which they fell in the U.S. ... Disruptions related to Covid probably led to more murders and shootings by shutting down social services, which had kept people safe, and closing schools, which left many teens idle ... In 2022, bad news bias has left many Americans thinking that violent crime is worse this year when it ultimately may not be. And this bias has skewed public perceptions of crime and violence in the past, too.

Go ask Alice, if you can find her - Lawyers, Guns & Money Like every other teenager in mid-1970s America, I read Go Ask Alice, the lurid diary of a 15-year-old girl who is swept into a world of drug abuse and (spoiler) dies of an overdose. I learned recently that the whole thing was completely fabricated by Beatrice Sparks, a 50something Mormon housewife with burning literary ambitions: Ask Alice made it to market because of talk-show host Art Linkletter. Linkletters daughter Diane, barely 21, died by suicide in 1969, and Linkletter came to think this happened because she had been taking LSD. Sparks, hearing the story, pitched him on her idea of a diary of a lost girl, and it fit his priors.It was the perfect pitch at the perfect time. It was, after all, a story Art Linkletter already believed (nothing to do with him being an abusive asshole) ... Beatrice Sparks was no more a psychologist than she was a Sasquatch, and even a lazy editor could have unraveled the lies with a single phone call ... the general pattern of fabulists fabricating narratives that resonate with and intensify whatever moral panics are coursing through the broader culture is a recurring one in recent American culture, from satanic ritual abuse in preschools in the 1980s through the current QAnon madness.

What more does Merrick Garland need? ... American democracy is on the verge of collapse because of repeated attacks by the Republican-fascists and the larger right-wing movement. Not to prosecute and punish Trump and his confederates for their acts of terrorism would mark one more big win in their war on democracy, the rule of law and the Constitution. If Merrick Garland is afraid to prosecute Donald Trump for fear of violence or some other reason, he should be asked to resign by Joe Biden and then replaced by someone who is willing to do what is necessary and required to protect American democracy and the rule of law.

Russian politician jailed for seven years for denouncing war against Ukraine : worldnews ... At the meeting of the municipal deputies, some deputy brought up a children's drawing competition.

Sam Alitos woman problem ... Sam Alito went to school in an elite educational world that was almost devoid of women, as either professors or students ... Indeed as an undergraduate Alito didnt even have any women in his classes until his junior year, because until then Princeton College was all male. Alito found this situation so congenial that upon graduation in 1972 he joined a brand new organization, Concerned Alumni of Princeton, that was formed to oppose the admission of women to Princeton ... worth recalling that according to Dean Chief Justice Warren Burger actually threatened to resign from the Court if Nixon nominated a woman to it.

Senate Sergeant-at-Arms Michael Stenger who was in charge of Capitol security on January 6 and who blamedprofessional agitatorsdies suddenly, hours before TODAYs surprise hearing moved up because ofsafety concernsfor Mark Meadows' top aide

Discussion Thread: House Jan 6 Public Hearings, Day 6 - 06/28/2022 at 1 pm ET : politics ... I think anyone commenting here realizes this but these testimonies really set it home that this is the biggest scandal in American history. This makes Watergate or the Teapot Dome Scandal or Iran/Contra and definitely Lewinsky look like a slap on the wrist misdemeanor.

Trump lunged at Secret Service agent in rage when told he couldnt go toCapitol on Jan. 6, aide testifies ... "I'M THE FUCKING PRESIDENT! TAKE ME UP TO THE CAPITOL NOW!" Trump yelled at the Secret Service. He then tried to grab the steering wheel, physically attacking the Secret Service to try to stop them from taking him to the White House. When he got back, he got mad and threw a hamburger against the wall, leaving a drip of ketchup running down the wall

Jan. 6 testimony shows that Donald Trump is unhinged. Voters must listen.
Cassidy Hutchinson just gave us a smoking gun. But will Republicans care?
The convergence of the twain - Lawyers, Guns & Money ... An unfortunate consequence of the fact that Hannah Arendt didn't have access to subsequent historical research that revealed that Adolph Eichmann was himself a fanatically committed anti-Semite is that the tremendous explanatory power of her concept of the banality of evil has been a bit obscured by the flaws in her analysis of Eichmann per se. On the broader point Arendt was absolutely right. Cassidy Hutchinson is very far from blameless, but in the end she did the right thing, which is much more than can be said of the dozens of far older, wealthier, and more powerful people she worked with who knew what she did but have chosen to remain silent.
Cassidy Hutchinson's January 6 Committee Testimony Was Staggering Jan. 6 Suddenly Looks a Hell of a Lot Worse - And it already looked like a violent insurrection ... We spent four years in the hands of a dangerous madman.

Mike Flynn waited a minute and a half before pleading the 5th when asked whether the violence on January 6 was justified : politics ... When asked if he believed in the peaceful transfer of power - he pleaded the Fifth

The Russian population is declining at a dizzying rate, and the war will only exacerbate this trend ... In 1989, the USSR had a population of 286.7 million, more than the United States (246.8 million).

According to the latest United Nations projections, made before the pandemic and the war, it could fall to 139 million by 2040.

Seven Days In May - Lawyers, Guns & Money Everybody who had anything to do with Epstein knew what he was doing with young girls, Davidson says. Bill Clinton. Bill Gates. Major universities whitewashed Epstein for pay.
I wrote something provocative about how I know stuff about Jeffrey Epstein and cant publish it.Ill do my best to explain and reveal here. It provides, I think, a good lesson in why it is hard to publish stories about bad things done by the rich and powerful: ... Epstein reportedly raped up to 3 girls a day for years. Most came once or just a few times. Their names are not known by anyone. Thats thousands of victims who are invisible. (hello, Pevan Stinker)
Elite institutions--like some universities, museums, other nonprofits--sell a product to disgraced men: reputation recovery. They call it the Halo effect.In Jeffrey Epsteins case it was more awful. It was a central piece in his grooming apparatus ... Bill Gates is the best: he needed Epstein to help him find rich donors? Who would Epstein have access to that Gates wouldnt? ... MIT, Harvard, Interlochen, Edge sold something of enormous value to Epstein, something only they could offer.

Mass shooters overwhelmingly fit a certain profile, say Jillian Peterson and James Densley, which means its possible to ID and treat them before they commit violence ... Early childhood trauma seems to be the foundation, whether violence in the home, sexual assault, parental suicides, extreme bullying. Then you see the build toward hopelessness, despair, isolation, self-loathing, oftentimes rejection from peers. That turns into a really identifiable crisis point where theyre acting differently. Sometimes they have previous suicide attempts ... I dont think most people realize that these are suicides, in addition to homicides. Mass shooters design these to be their final acts. When you realize this, it completely flips the idea that someone with a gun on the scene is going to deter this. If anything, thats an incentive for these individuals. They are going in to be killed.

Erik Visits an American Grave, Part 1,110 : This is the grave of Saul Bellow ... Bellow was running about one wife per novel there for awhile and was married five times. By few accounts was this a man easy to live with and this was also a period where the Artist was given plenty of leeway to not be a great person to those around him, which has mercifully been pushed back against in the last twenty years or so. One of his wives was Alexandra Ionescu-Tulcea, the famous mathematician who still lives today. They were married from 1974-85. Naturally, he was 20 years older than she ... Unfortunately, as he aged, Bellow turned sharply conservative, a trait he passed on to his idiot son Adam who makes John Podhoretz look like he earned his spot in the right-wing intellectual universe Bellow was one of those guys who the late 60s and 70s broke.

The jury saw through the fog of misdirection and innuendo in the indictments overstuffed allegations and quickly returned a not-guilty verdict ... many polling experts think, tipped the election to Trump: On Oct. 28, 2016, then-FBI Director James B. Comey announced he was reopening the Clinton emails investigation at a time when the bureau had studiously kept secret its own three-month-old investigation of the Trump campaigns dealing with the Russians.

Dinosaurs sit at the crossroads between reptiles and birds, leading scientists to debate whether they were warm- or cold-blooded. Now scientists have demonstrated a new technique for measuring the metabolism of extinct animals like dinosaurs by studying molecular markers in their bones. : science ... The results were fascinating. Most species were found to be warm-blooded, including the pterosaurs, plesiosaurs, sauropods (long-necked dinosaurs like Brachiosaurus) and theropods (predatory dinosaurs like T-rex). Some of them even showed metabolisms higher than mammals, and closer to birds. Others, like Stegosaurus and Triceratops, seemed to have lower metabolic rates on par with modern cold-blooded reptiles, which could provide insight into their lifestyles.

The Munk Debate The Russia Ukraine War - Toronto, 12.05.2022 ... Stephen Walt, John Mearsheimer v Michael McFaul Radoslaw Sikorski
spectralcolors12 comments on /r/WorldNews Live Thread: Russian Invasion of Ukraine Day 87, Part 1 (Thread #227) ... realists consistently strike me as absolute fools. They have a pseudo intellectual veneer to them, where they act as if theyre considering all sides and try to rationalize totally unethical behavior ,,, Mearsheimers entire "realist" theory is that Ukraine had it coming for poking the bear, that NATO tricked Ukraine into provoking Russia, and that Ukraine should make concessions in order for the war to end.

The War in Ukraine Is Getting Complicated, and America Isnt Ready ... A decisive military victory for Ukraine over Russia, in which Ukraine regains all the territory Russia has seized since 2014, is not a realistic goal. (repost from below for the quotes) : " No matter how long it takes, Ukraine will be free." ... "the United States must lead its NATO allies in demonstrating to Vladimir Putin that the Atlantic alliance is willing and able to resist his revanchist ambitions." ... "but in the end, it is still not in Americas best interest to plunge into an all-out war with Russia, even if a negotiated peace may require Ukraine to make some hard decisions." ... "A decisive military victory for Ukraine over Russia, in which Ukraine regains all the territory Russia has seized since 2014, is not a realistic goal." ... "In the end, it is the Ukrainians who must make the hard decisions: ... If the conflict does lead to real negotiations, it will be Ukrainian leaders who will have to make the painful territorial decisions that any compromise will demand" ... "But as the war continues, Mr. Biden should also make clear to President Volodymyr Zelensky and his people that there is a limit to how far the United States and NATO will go to confront Russia, and limits to the arms, money and political support they can muster" ... " It is imperative that the Ukrainian governments decisions be based on a realistic assessment of its means and how much more destruction Ukraine can sustain." (and then they drop the word: "realistic" ... comments trending towward outrage)

Today, any concession to Russia is not a path to peace, but a war postponed for several years. Ukraine trades neither its sovereignty, nor territories and Ukrainians living on them. It's a pity that we have to explain such simple things to such reputable media as @nytimes .
[Video] M. Podolyak to NYT, Today, any concession to Russia is not a path to peace, but a war postponed for several years. Ukraine trades neither its sovereignty, nor territories and Ukrainians living on them. Its a pity that we have to explain such simple things to such reputable media as NYT.

Amazingly, the appeasers, Macron, Scholz, Dragi & NYTimes, want to force Ukraine to give up land to Russia, while more than 90% of the Ukrainians want to fight to win & kick out the Russians from Ukraine. What moral right do these people have to state this drivel? : UkrainianConflict
The editorial boards @nytimes recent piece is appalling. Looks like #russian propaganda, something you do not expect from a renowned media. This thread is about that ... What makes this one so bad for me is that it was their entire board. This one will go down in history like the Hitler was a nice guy article from 1935

Henry Kissinger: To settle the Ukraine crisis, start at the end - The Washington Post ... "Ukraine belongs to Russia" ... joining NATO is forbidden... (basically, the NYT editorial 7 years earlier)

Why is Ukraine the Wests Fault? Featuring John Mearsheimer Sep 25, 2015 ... A key assumption is that in order to come up with the optimum plan for ending the crisis, it is essential to know what caused the crisis. Regarding the all-important question of causes, the key issue is whether Russia or the West bears primary responsibility.

Stephen F. Cohen - Wikipedia ... In 2014, Cohen disputed evidence that Russia shot down Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, an event that killed all 298 passengers and crew. He said the Ukrainian government had possession of Russian Buk surface-to-air missiles, and suggested the country was playing with its new toys and made a big mistake ... In 2017, Cohen said the events of 2014 in Ukraine had initiated a civil war in a country in whichone part tilts toward Russia and one part tilts toward the West ... (there's wrong, and then there's Cohen)
In October 2019, Stephen F. Cohen (RIP) implored DC to support Zelensky's peace mandateHis life is being threatened by a quasi-fascist movement, Cohen said. He cant go forward with full peace negotiations unless America has his backSiding with fascists, DC chose war.

Stephen Walt - Wikipedia

We Should Say It. Russia Is Fascist ... By Timothy Snyder ... People disagree, often vehemently, over what constitutes fascism. But todays Russia meets most of the criteria that scholars tend to apply. It has a cult around a single leader, Vladimir Putin. It has a cult of the dead, organized around World War II. It has a myth of a past golden age of imperial greatness, to be restored by a war of healing violence the murderous war on Ukraine ... Soviet anti-fascism, in other words, was a politics of us and them. That is no answer to fascism. After all, fascist politics begins, as the Nazi thinker Carl Schmitt said, from the definition of an enemy. Because Soviet anti-fascism just meant defining an enemy, it offered fascism a backdoor through which to return to Russia ... It is a final point where hate speech inverts reality and propaganda is pure insistence. It is the apogee of will over thought. Calling others fascists while being a fascist is the essential Putinist practice. Jason Stanley, an American philosopher, calls it undermining propaganda. I have called it schizofascismThe Ukrainians have the most elegant formulation. They call it "ruscism" ... Had Ukraine not resisted, this would have been a dark spring for democrats around the world. If Ukraine does not win, we can expect decades of darkness. (calling others pedophiles while being a pedophile, sound familiar?)

No Books. No Money. Just the Truth. - by Steve Schmidt - This is a story about lying. Public lying. It is a story about Senator John McCainslying, and the damage it has done to many people, including me ... The burden of carrying this lie -- while being attacked for 14 consecutive years by the bully Megan McCain -- has finally reached its end for me ... Senator John McCain turned a blind eye to the dealings of his top adviser, Rick Davis, who was making millions of dollars with his partner, Paul Manafort. Manafort was advancing the interests of the Russian Federation in Ukraine and across Eastern Europe. They worked for the Putin puppet Victor Yanukovych and Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska. They advanced Russian interests from the Maidan to Montenegro. John McCain spent his 70th birthday with Oleg Deripaska and Rick Davis on a Russian yacht at anchor in Montenegro ... Immediately following the storys publication, John and Cindy McCain both lied to the American people at a news conference that I prepared them for on that same day. ... That same month, in a condo in Aspen, Colorado, I spoke to Cindy McCain privately about the abhorrent and abusive behavior of her daughter, Meghan ... When the campaign ended, Sarah Palin lashed out at Nicolle Wallace and me. She and her staff smeared us as disloyal leakers, who had sabotaged her political genius ... The public and premeditated announcement that I was being excluded from his funeral was a malicious and cruel act that said much more about the people who orchestrated it than me ... John McCain was human, and like all of us, including me, he was flawed. He was a legend, but not a myth. Too much of our political conversation mythologizes fantasies that never existed in the first place (bullies and liars, and McCain in the pocket of Putin)

Life in the closet - Lawyers, Guns & Money Interesting story about how Ed Koch labored to keep his sexuality hidden for decades:

The delusions of Andrew Sullivan - Lawyers, Guns & Money - Andrew Sullivan on how abortion rights are totally different from gay rights, so its justfine to return the former to the meth labs of democracy, while protecting the latter as a Sacred Constitutional Principle that the SCOTUS should not and therefore will not revisit: ... in fact in the 1970s more Republican voters (68%) supported Roe than Democrats (59%). This of course reflects the heavy Democratic leaning of Catholic voters at the time, but it also illustrates that abortion rights had a fairly strong national bipartisan backing in the immediate post-Roe world, which meant that attempts to use it as a wedge issue were unlikely to go far, as indeed they didnt in the 1970s and 1980s ... Reminder: Sullivan HATES women ... Andrew Sullivan is a conservative asshole who happens to be pro gay rights because he himself is gay. If he were straight he would hate the gays as much as he hates everyone else who isn't like him.

Majority of Americans say Supreme Court should uphold Roe, Post-ABC poll finds - The Washington Post ... 54 percent of Americans think the 1973 Roe decision should be upheld while 28 percent believe it should be overturned a roughly 2-to-1 margin.

Why Being Anti-Science Is Now Part Of Many Rural Americans' Identity - And why that will make communication around the next crisis so much more challenging - Rural Americans were far less likely to take precautions against COVID-19, like wearing a mask, avoiding restaurants or working from home.

As of Jan. 10, 2022, only 48 percent of rural Americans were vaccinated, compared with 61 percent of their urban counterparts ... those who distrust scientists and other official sources of authority distinguish those who are book smart from those who have common sense, the latter of which they view as a superior means of ascertaining truth (they can't read, either, libtard demon-rats killing all the tree with their gay CRT)

War of memes: why Z-war wont end with peace - Kamil Galeev
Kamil Galeev on Twitter: "Russian invasion of Ukraine can be understood only in cultural context. Kremlin didn't plan for a war, it planned to "liberate" Ukraine, save it by imposing the correct memes. But it turned out that Ukrainians didn't want to be saved. That's how Special Operation turned into war https://t.co/DK2stVxuJt" / Twitter

Now lets cover the Ukrainian geography. First, as we can see, Ukraine is a very flat country. It has mountains only in the very west, in Carpathians, and in the very south, on the southern cost of Crimea. The rest of the country is flat as a pancake. What does it mean?
Kamil Galeev on Twitter: "Benedict Anderson gives a key to this question. According to Anderson, modern literary languages are artificial. They were created by the double effect of modern state with its homogenising policies and of the printing press. Whatever existed before functioned very differently https://t.co/G9NSymxMyh" / Twitter

The Christian nationalism behind Putins war

The End of Russia's Empire -- Moscow has a stake in the Ukraine war that is greater than Putin's career ... The czars, commissars and Putinists all saw Russia as both unique and committed to a struggle against the West. For the czars, Moscow was the hird Rome that would carry the torch of Christianity and civilization after the first Rome fell to barbarian invaders and the second Rome (Constantinople) fell to the Turks. For the communists, Moscow was the citadel of the global proletarian revolution, fated to annihilate the decadent bourgeois culture of the West. Mr. Putin and his acolytes see the world in similar terms, with Russia committed to a war of survival against Western decadence, soullessness and unbridled greed. (said the mafia state) ... Ukraine is the heart of the matter. With Ukraine under its thumb, Moscow sees itself as the greatest power in Europe. Without Ukraine, the dream that Russia can recapture the Soviet Unions status as a superpower will die a bitter death ... Eurasianism ... It would challenge the idea of Russian exceptionalism and fatally undermine the view that despotism is the form of governance best suited to the Russian soul ... For Vladimir Putin and the people around him, the stakes in Ukraine are almost infinitely great. /a>

Ex-Kremlin official found dead alongside wife and daughter in 2m Moscow apartment ... Russian intelligence has started an investigation into the deaths with early reports suggesting it was a double murder and suicide.

Cross-culturally, men tend to report having a larger number of friends, but less intimate ones, than women. Women are also more likely than men to explicitly discuss the closeness of their relationships with their friends, more likely to identify someone as abest friend and they also more easily distinguish "close friends" from people who are "just a friend." Men generally seem to use the word "friend" more loosely than women, and they also tend to expect less from friendships than women do.

Ukraine war: Russias sunken warship dents its pride and capabilities

Via DM, Moskva ammo detonation & related corruption:
Neptune's Wrath: The Flagship Moskvas Demise ... The catastrophic saga of Russias attempt at subduing its neighbour must have not only astonished those following the offensive, but also Russia itself. Once thought to be amongst the most powerful armies of the world, the biggest enemy of the Russian Armed Forces turned out not to be NATO, but the Russian government itself. The incompetence, corruption and complete denial of reality so deeply embedded in its way of governing not only contributed to dragging yet another country into a senseless war, but also appears to have eliminated the Russian Armed Forces as an effective fighting force ... Whether the Russian political and military leadership is capable of eventually tackling these problems to some degree is unknown, but their ability to do so will likely be the single largest determinant in the outcome of Russia's war of brutality.

What Putin has been doing for many, many years is building up to a big war ... The Russian Federation is a truncated empire, waging its last big imperial war, which it will eventually lose. I dont know what kind of devastation it will wreak on the world before it does, but it will lose. It may lose its last great imperial war the same way Germany lost theirs after devastating the whole world. When it does, the empire will break up. I think there will be a State of Moscow and a State of St. Petersburg. I think dozens of countries will end up existing on the largest landmass in the world.

Eurasianism is a political movement with a long intellectual history. It developed originally in the Russian emigre community in the 1920s, but has its roots in the earlier Russian imperialist projects of the All-Russian Nation and the 19th century-early

The Grand Theory Driving Putin to War ... One of the most alluring concepts was Eurasianism. Emerging from the collapse of the Russian Empire in 1917, this idea posited Russia as a Eurasian polity formed by a deep history of cultural exchanges among people of Turkic, Slavic, Mongol and other Asian origins ...the long-term connection between Eastern Orthodoxy and Russian empire. Orthodoxys combat against Western Christianity and Western decadence could be harnessed to the geopolitical war to come.

It actually turns out that this claim was legitimate, with at least 35 vehicles totally destroyed or damaged; mostly supply or fuel trucks, but with BMP/T-72 variant also. This is a serious blow.
Its been interesting to watch the reported number of Russian losses. In war the warring parties exaggerate the losses of the enemy wildly,so I have looked at Ukrainian claims with a good dose of scepticism. But its becoming clear their #s are not off by as much as I assumed

The move, made public by Attorney General Merrick B.

Preparing for the Unthinkable in Ukraine : America and Europe Must Be Ready for Russian Biological or Chemical Attacks - By Michael T. Osterholm and Mark Olshaker March 25, 2022

A crisis of trust Economist Maxim Ananyev on the subtle consequences of war and sanctions for RussiaWhen talking about institutional changes, its necessary to understand how these arise in different regimes. There are three types of undemocratic regimes: military dictatorship, personalistic dictatorship, and party dictatorship. According to political scientists, in Russia today there is a personalistic regime. This means that even inside the elite there is no means of influence. There isnt any kind of Politburo that can influence decisions. From this point of view, if the economic situation worsensor even in the case of a military defeat its still difficult to imagine any kind of intra-elite mechanisms for change

How We Got Here With Russia: The Kremlins Worldview (Putin trapped in his own psychotic myth of domination)

How Putin badly misjudged the West, as explained by a Russia expert ... The right side has to be winning. Thats when we might have a settlement that ends this horrible war.

January 6 Connected to Putin's New Russian Empire Dream: Timothy Snyder : This Historian Drew a Line From January 6 to Putin's Dreams of a New Russian Empire - It is of capital importance that Donald Trump never wield the powers of the presidency again ... "What they say is that the West just basically needed one more push to fall into total disarray. If you watch Jan. 6 clips over and over again, you can get that impression. The Russians really have been fixated on Jan. 6. They thought a successful military operation in Ukraine would be that nudge: Wed feel helpless, wed fall into conflict, it would help [Donald] Trump in the U.S., it would help populists around the world." ... "Theyre going to make Biden look weak. That probably was their deep fantasy about the West: Successful military occupation in Ukraine; the Biden administration is totally impotent; we humiliate them; Trump comes back; this is a big strategic victory for us." -- And now the president is in Poland, demonstrating how far from reality both Putin and Trump have drifted. It is of capital importance that the latter never be in a position of political power ever again. The time of being entertained by the delusions of powerful men is long past.

Small arms, unguided rockets, and ammunition are also flowing into Ukraine from the west in huge quantities. While all this is very problematic for the invading Russian force, it is a downright death sentence to any provisional or stooge government and its security forces that Russia plans to install should the legitimately-elected Ukrainian government fall. ... Russia doesn't even have the forces needed to occupy the country. Not even close. Clearly, that was part of the great miscalculation that kicked off this disaster of a combat operation ... Long viewed as a shrewd master strategist, regardless of what you thought of his other actions, that facade appears to be crumbling without explanation.

How to sabotage Russian war efforts? There are ways to sabotage Russian war capacities by focusing on its three major bottlenecks: demographic, economic & institutional. Let's start with demography. Russian started this war suffering from the shortage of young draftable males ... From the high school class of 1941 only 3% were alive by the end of the war (boys) ... So in the social dimension, Russian army is the army of poor guys from small towns. Their recruitment was conducted either by sheer force or by a certain combination of force and persuasion ... Russian army is quickly becoming the army of minorities ... Now Russia is a low fertility depopulating country which accidentally started a major war. It didnt plan a war, it planned a nice and easy occupation. Much of early Russian losses are explained by Russian columns simply entering into the cities and being immediately destroyed

Desperate and Dangerous: Managing Putin | CEPA

No one talks to the despot - Lawyers, Guns & Money One notable aspect of this interview is that theres no hint in it that the analysis of a regime run by a megalomaniacal authoritarian kleptocrat who surrounds himself with comically incompetent sycophants might be of some, shall we say, domestic relevance in the United States at this particular moment. That aside, this s a really interesting glimpse into contemporary Russia, through the eyes of one of the most eminent Western scholars of that great and troubled nation.
A Scholar of Stalin Discusses Putin, Russia, Ukraine, and the West | The New Yorker An expert on Stalin discusses Putin, Russia, and the West.

The Korea Analogy - Lawyers, Guns & Money ... Consider that just weeks ago a lot of us thought that Russia had successfully modernized its forces. The current conflict suggests we overestimated Russian military capabilities ... In fact, so long as reactionary populists remain 1) a major faction in the Republican party and 2) enamored of Putin and Putinism then any national election could upend U.S. strategic priorities. The Kremlin knows this; we should expect that its next round of efforts to meddle in U.S. elections will dwarf those seen in past cycles. The Russian government would love for the U.S. to experience another, and even more dangerous, post-election insurrection. The Kremlin has plenty of tools to facilitate that, including trying to mess with U.S. election infrastructure.

Putin Has Already Suffered a Strategic Defeat ... No matter how the war in Ukraine plays out, Putin loses. Even if Russian forces prevail on the ground and in the air, he loses. Even if he takes Kyiv tomorrow, he loses. Russia lacks the forces (and perhaps the will) to occupy Ukraine in the face of a restive civil society and guerrilla movement. And that would be on top of having already reinforced NATO, awakened Europe, isolated his country, ruined its economy, and alienated many Russians, including his "friends." What happens next depends less on the military outcome of the conflict than on other factors he has already put in motion and that will further affect him ... The primary tail risk at this point is that it is becoming increasingly difficult to see a resolution to this war that does not include the removal of Vladimir Putin. This is a problem ... three possible forms of escalation: Attack NATO - Nuke Ukraine - Create a diversion by opening up a new front

THREAD 1/7 Intel from a Ukrainian officer about a meeting in Putins lair in Urals. Oligarchs convened there so no one would flee. Putin is furious, he thought that the whole war would be easy and everything would be done in 1-4 days.
2/7 Russians didnt have a tactical plan. The war costs about $20 bln/day. There are rockets for 3-4 days at most, they use them sparingly. They lack weapons, the Tula and 2 Rotenberg plants cant physically fulfil the orders for weapons. Rifles and ammo are the most they can do. Riho Terras on Twitter: "4/7 If Ukraine manages to hold the Russians off for 10 days, then the Russians will have to enter negotiations. Because they have no money, weapons, or resources. Nevertheless, they are indifferent about the sanctions." / Twitter

Vladimir Putin, Russia's resentful leader, takes the world to war ... His war in Ukraine marks the culmination of a slide into a paranoid autocracy that earns comparison with Russia's most brutal leaders

Opinion | Putin Has Made Sure the World Will Never Be the Same - The New York Times Our world is not going to be the same again because this war has no historical parallel. It is a raw, 18th-century-style land grab by a superpower but in a 21st-century globalized world. This is the first war that will be covered on TikTok by super-empowered individuals armed only with smartphones, so acts of brutality will be documented and broadcast worldwide without any editors or filters. On the first day of the war, we saw invading Russian tank units unexpectedly being exposed by Google maps, because Google wanted to alert drivers that the Russian armor was causing traffic jams.You have never seen this play before ... Welcome to World War Wired the first war in a totally interconnected world. This will be the Cossacks meet the World Wide Web. Like I said, you havent been here before ... He has the firepower to bring Ukraine to heel. But in this modern era we have never seen an unfree country, Russia, try to rewrite the rules of the international system and take over a free country that is as big as Ukraineespecially when the unfree country, Russia, has an economy that is smaller than that of Texas ... "China wants to compete with America in the Super Bowl of economics, innovation and technology and thinks it can win. Putin is ready to burn down the stadium and kill everyone in it to satisfy his grievances" ... China leapfrogged Russia to become Ukraines biggest single trading partner in 2019, with overall trade totaling $18.98 billion last year, a nearly 80 percent jump from 2013 ... Second, China overtook the United States as the European Unions biggest trading partner in 2020, and Beijing cannot afford for the E.U. to be embroiled in conflict with an increasingly aggressive Russia and unstable Putin. ... The musician and actress Selena Gomez has twice as many followers on Instagram over 298 million -- as Russia has citizens ... Putins invasion of Ukraine is our first real taste of how crazy and unstable this kind of wired world can get. It will not be our last.

The antisemitism animating Putins claim to denazify Ukraine : The Russian leaders pretext for invasion recasts Ukraines Jewish president as a Nazi and Russian Christians as true victims of the Holocaust ... In the 2019 election, the Ukrainian far right was humiliated, receiving only 2% of the vote. This is far less support than far-right parties receive across western Europe, including inarguably democratic countries such as France and Germany ... Fascism in the west is thus increasingly hard to distinguish from Christian nationalism.

Russia Bombards Kyiv in Renewed Night Assault - There was intense street fighting across the capital on Saturday, and the latest Western intelligence reports indicated that the Russian advance had been slowed, if only for the moment.

Would that this now happens to Russia.

MA COVID-19 Report as of February 14th. 3,863 new cases and 66 new deaths, that's 3 days total. With first, second and third dose coverage that was nearly 1,700 and over 2,900, and projections based on positivity rate. : CoronavirusMa
In first COVID-19 data report since Friday, Mass. reports 3,863 confirmed cases; 66 deaths reported on Friday

There Is Nothing Normal about One Million People Dead from COVID : CoronavirusMa ... Simply put: post-vaccine, we could've had 2-4X fewer deaths (so 200-400k American lives saved) if we had the same overall performance as other wealthy, western countries ... And this is to say nothing of the CoronaFortresses of Democratic Asia, Japan (17X fewer deaths overall than the US), Korea (20X lower), Taiwan (77X lower)... who accomplished largely without large-scale lockdowns

The COVID Strategy America Hasnt Really TriedThe clearest way to reduce deaths is to push to vaccinate more of the elderly -- yes, still! ... Compared with someone in their 20s, a person over 65 years old is not slightly more likely to die of COVID but at least 65 times more likely to die of COVID. Over age 75, they become 140 times more likely to die. Over age 85, they are 340 times more likely to die ... In 2022 so far, three-quarters of COVID deaths in America have been in people 65 and older, 93 percent in people 50 and older ... Denmark, which dropped coronavirus restrictions amidst sky-high Omicron cases, has been able to do so because it has excellent booster coverage down to age 50. Ninety-five percent of this group has been fully vaccinated, and over 90 percent have had three doses ... Cases have fallen a bit off their peak in Denmark, but excess mortality is already back to near zero ...

Scientists have found immunity against severe COVID-19 disease begins to wane 4 months after receipt of the third dose of an mRNA vaccine. Vaccine effectiveness against Omicron variant-associated hospitalizations was 91 percent during the first two months declining to 78 percent at four months. : science

The largest, most methodologically sophisticated studies in existence show little or no functional relation between birth order and personality. Newer data will have to provide evidence for much larger effects in equally large samples to counter the weight of the evidence ... We hope, that the cumulative evidence on birth order and personality is now compelling enough that the idea does not simply become undead (16), but is clearly laid to rest as a viable explanation for the fascinating differences we see across people and siblings in the typical ways in which they feel, think, and behave (without ever defining "personality")

Epiphanies - Lawyers, Guns & Money
The Radical Young Intellectuals Who Want to Take Over the American Right | The New Republic They hate the establishment. They want to destroy the system. Meet the illiberal upstarts trying to remake conservatism. ... "We're basically at Megiddo, the site of the final showdown in the Book of Revelation.Were in the battle at the end of time, and the prince of darkness is already at the door, and the whole world is now a contest between activist left and activist right." ... What linked the communist left and the fascist right a century ago was a deep conviction that the liberal democratic order had failed, because it was nothing but an ultimately nihilistic charade, designed to advance the corporatist interests of a thoroughly decadent power elite, and that at all costs and by any means necessary this elite had to be destroyed. Plus ca change. (plus Yeats, Eliot and facisim)

Megiddo | ancient city, Palestine | Britannica It is thought that the word Armageddon is derived from Megiddo
The Seven Sacred Daggers of Tel Megiddo are a set of seven sacred knives and the only weapons that can kill the Antichrist.
W. B. Yeats | The Orwell Foundation ... Yeat's tendency is Fascist. Throughout most of his life, and long before Fascism was ever heard of, he had had the outlook of those who reach Fascism by the aristocratic route. He is a great hater of democracy, of the modern world, science, machinery, the concept of progress bove all, of the idea of human equality ... But he appears to welcome the coming age, which is to be hierarchical, masculine, harsh, surgical, and is influenced both by Ezra Pound and by various Italian Fascist writers ... How do Yeatss political ideas link up with his leaning towards occultism? It is not clear at first glance why hatred of democracy and a tendency to believe in crystal-gazing should go together ... Yeat's philosophy has some very sinister implications ,,, Yeats, the poet, sees at a glance that Fascism means injustice, and acclaims it for that very reason ... The relationship between Fascism and the literary intelligentsia badly needs investigating, and Yeats might well be the starting-point. ...

W. B. Yeats: A Fool Amongst Wolves : Literary Kicks ... Yeats was a fool, a privileged, talented one, but a fool nonetheless. He held some of the most contemptible and stupid views that can be held, views that weaved together through the years with eugenics and such frauds as the Protocols of the Elders of Zion to end under the railway arch entrance to Auschwitz ... During his life and throughout his works, Yeats was a steadfast defender of free speech and freedom of thought ... This was a man at his most fearless and admirable, using his position to bravely give voice to his conscience even when in a minority of one ... He also predicted accurately the long-term consequences of basing Irish Civil Law on authoritarian Catholicism ... you will never get the north. You will put a wedge in this country ... The pinnacle of his laissez-faire political stance remains his stand in the Irish Senate asserting the right to divorce ... Yeats toyed with Fascist ideas about class, eugenics and democracy. ... He favored authoritarian government as a bulwark against the anarchy of human nature and the omnipotent threat of the lower classes ... It leads you to think that despite his obvious literary talent Yeats snobbish upbringing had perhaps made him too distanced from ordinary people and the distance made him go slightly soft in the head ... May she become a flourishing hidden tree effectively summarizes Yeatsbelief that written language belongs to men and womens duty is to remain obedient and silent, one step on the road to Children, Church and Kitchen ...
