complicating global trade patterns for years to come. read more
The supply chain system is breaking.
Initial damage was done by unregulated capitalism.
The mercantilism of Trump and his Republicans has continued the growing damage.
Covid-19 and the response has accelerated that growth.

A Brief Summary Of The Effects Of Russia Sanctions[image: A Brief Summary Of The Effects Of Russia Sanctions]
Let’s put it all together, sanctions will:
1) Make Europeans worse off;
2) Not overthrow Putin;
3) End the dollar as universal reserve currency;
4) Not save Ukraine;
5) Kill millions in the global south;
6) Not appreciably affect the Ukraine War;
7) also increase political instability in dozens of countries, including in
Europe.
8) Badly damage European manufacturing, making Europe weaker.
9) Lock Russia into alliance with China, solving most of China’s major
resource problems and securing its western flank.

Accountability #2: Sweden’s Decision To Let Old People Die Who Could be Saved[image: Accountability #2: Sweden’s Decision To Let Old People Die Who

So, Nature has put out a report on how Sweden’s herd immunity policy worked.
It didn’t. Herd immunity isn’t possible with Covid, more people died in
Sweden per capita than almost any other country,
I suggest reading the summary, but I want to pick out one part:
Thousands died in Sweden because the state chose not to provide adequate
care. Infected elders were given morphine instead of oxygen, even though
the system had plenty of oxygen. The *Nature* report adds that “very few
elderly have been h... read more

Is Putin Conducting A "Stalinist” Purge of Russia’s Intelligence Service[image: Is Putin Conducting A]
I find this story says more about the West than about Russia:
A “Stalinist” mass purge of Russian secret intelligence is under way after
more than 100 agents were removed from their jobs and the head of the
department responsible for Ukraine was sent to prison.
n a sign of President Putin’s fury over the failures of the invasion, about
150 Federal Security Bureau (FSB) officers have been dismissed, including
some who have been arrested.
All of those ousted were employees of the Fifth Service, a division set up
in 1998, when Putin was director of the ... read more
