Making Sense of the Ukraine Standoff
Eric Zuesse Someone asked me: Can you make sense out of the current Ukraine situation/stand-off?

Why the massive Russian build-up on the borders (assuming the news isn’t exaggerating)? I answered: […] read more

"It is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succor of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till." - J.R.R. Tolkien, "The Lord of the Rings " ○ *Sam:* "It's like in the great stories Mr. Frodo, the ones that really mattered.

The left's culture of censorship

'Climate change' hypocrisy
J. Allen Cartwright: ... Despite their dire warnings, however, leftists have been oddly reluctant to fully embrace policies that would reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Although progressives have advocated for renewables such as solar and wind power, they often oppose any increase in nuclear power, a carbon-neutral and readily accessible energy source. The far-left also disparages natural gas usage, despite the fact that the transition from coal to natural gas has lowered greenhouse gas emissions by 13% since 2005.
