Russian Stock Market Sees Downturn After Decision to Recognize Donetsk and Luhansk
*Trevor Filseth* *Russia-Ukraine Crisis, Ukraine* Recognition of the two separatist territories in the Donbas violates the Minsk Protocols and could bring Russia closer to all-out war with Ukraine. Russian president Vladimir Putin’s decision to recognize the two separatist governments of Ukraine’s eastern Donbas region, and the subsequent deployment of Russian “peacekeepers” led to renewed fears of a war between Russia and Ukraine on Monday. Some experts warned a potential Russia-Ukraine war would be the largest and deadliest conflict in Europe since 1945. The announcement also ... read more
Iran Says “Significant Progress” Made in Nuclear Talks
*Trevor Filseth* *Iran Nuclear Deal, Iran* Iran has sought assurances that the United States won't unilaterally withdraw from a deal if a change in political leadership occurs. A spokesman for Iran’s foreign ministry said negotiations over the status of Tehran’s nuclear weapons program have resulted in “significant progress.” Discussions between the “P5+1” nations, which includes the United States, are being held in Vienna.

*Mitchell Blatt* *China 2022 Olympics, Asia* The Olympics have ended, but the diplomatic spat between China and Korea has just begun. The Olympics have ended with South Korea bringing home nine medals and a growing resentment of China. Long before the torch relay began, the XXIV Olympic Winter Games in Beijing were already a source of burning controversy.

*David C. Hendrickson* *Ukraine Crisis, Europe* The Ukrainian escalations of the last week, together with Russia’s recognition of the Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics and its movement of forces into their territories, advance the conflict to a new level. Vladimir Putin’s decision to recognize the independence of the Donetsk (DPR) and Luhansk People’s Republics (LPR) on February 21, followed by the introduction of Russian “peacekeepers” into the territory of the two republics, are big developments.

Energy Sovereignty Will Be the Westphalian Principle of the 21st Century
*David Gattie, Michael Hewitt* *Energy Security, Europe* The United States is in a twenty-first-century competition for hearts and minds, and much of that competition will revolve around energy sovereignty. At the end of the Cold War, it appeared democracy had won the final battle in civilization’s perpetual struggle between individual liberty and authoritarianism. Some even raised the possibility democracy had prevailed and history had ended. However, revisionist powers China and Russia have revived and now threaten to bring history back with a vengeance.

It's not just Washington D.C. - it's every major city
A recent study points out the reality behind violent crime in our nation's capital. Every year, about 500 identifiable people in D.C. drive as much as 70% of the city’s gun violence, according to a new report commissioned by the city. The study was authored by the National Institute for Criminal Justice Reform, which has been working with the District to come up with a strategic plan for reducing gun violence. It found that a relatively small group of people — likely as little as 200 people at any one point in time — are driving a majority of homicides and shootings in the cit... read more

Democrats and inflation
Washington Examiner: In order to hide the shortcomings of socialism and of their own economic management, Soviet authorities routinely blamed "saboteurs" or "wreckers" for their nation's economic problems. In the Stalin era, such bogus sabotage accusations earned lengthy sentences in the GULAG prison system. Inflation was one of the constant problems for which scapegoats had to be found, as Soviet authorities were constantly causing inflation. They didn't exactly have a sophisticated understanding of economics. And so, in order to keep workers placated, they kept raising their pa... read more

How Joe Biden facilitated Russian aggression
Jeff Dunetz: The liberal media won’t admit it, but the reason Russian forces are entering Ukraine can be explained in two words—Joe Biden. In fact, thanks to Biden, the U.S. is paying for the Russian invasion. His energy policy of reducing American production, stopping the almost completed keystone pipelines, no drilling on federal lands, new regulation regarding oil and gas drilling, and much more spiked the price of energy. For example, in 2020 the price of natural gas was $4.36/1,000 cubic feet, 2021 prices averaged $9/1,000 cubic feet. Before Biden became President, the U.S.... read more
