Analysis Say U.S. Inflation Will Explode If Russia Invades Ukraine
*CNN:* *Exclusive: Russia-Ukraine conflict could cause inflation to hit 10%, new analysis finds* New York (CNN Business)The cost of living is already very high in America. The Russia-Ukraine crisis could make it even worse. Oil prices have jumped well above $90 a barrel in recent weeks as the risk of a Russian invasion has increased. If the Russia-Ukraine crisis drives oil to about $110 a barrel, inflation in the United States would exceed 10% on a year-over-year basis, according to a new analysis by RSM shared exclusively with CNN. The US economy hasn't experienced 10% infla... read more

Is Mud Delaying a Russian Invasion of Ukraine?*Peter Suciu* *Russia-Ukraine Crisis, Ukraine* "Rasputitsa" is the Russian term for the late fall and early spring seasons of the year when travel on unpaved roads across the vast open plains becomes difficult. Signs are emerging that Russia may be rethinking or delaying an invasion of Ukraine. In addition to fears of crippling sanctions from the West and strong resolve from NATO members, perhaps it is the mud. Muddy conditions have long been a problem for those who have dared to invade Russia over the centuries. From the Mongols to the Nazis, many armies have been bogged down d... read more

As a result, innocent citizens have spent a year and a half watching murders, carjackings, and other violent crimes skyrocket. “On Monday, my hometown of Louisville was stunned by what appears to have been an assassination attempt again... read more

Avlon's new book, Lincoln and the Fight for Peace, explores both how Lincoln's character fostered his vision for achieving a just and secure peace after the Civil War and how Lincoln's plans informed future peacemakers.

Dominant superpower? No longer...Sovereign Man has an interesting - and painful - analysis of the USA's vision of itself as the dominant superpower, versus its *actual* position. It's pretty sobering. It’s hardly controversial to assert that dominate superpowers don’t accumulate $30 trillion in debt (which, by the way, is 25% larger than the entire US economy). But it’s not just the debt. It’s so much more. Dominant superpowers don’t surrender tens of billions of dollars of military equipment to their sworn enemy, and then fly away with local civilians clinging to the side of their aircraft. Dominant super... read more
