Why The Russian Federation Recognized Independence In The Donbas“Minsk, Minsk, Minsk,” they cried after Russia recognized Donetsk and Luhansk. But those Western diplomats and pundits did not hear those of us in the anti-war, pro-peace and anti-imperialist movements who insisted that Minsk II was the only conceivable way out of the crisis! There will be reams of words attempting to provide a coherent analysis of the manufactured crisis dramatically unfolding in Ukraine, which took another unanticipated turn when Russia extended recognition to the Peoples’ Republics of Donetsk and Luhansk in the territory referred to as the Donbas in Eastern Ukr... read more

Some Economic Consequences Of The War In UkraineThe global capitalist economy today is highly integrated: In the flow of real goods and services; in money capital flows between financial markets; in currency relative exchange rates; and in banking systems and interest rates—to name but the most obvious. The Ukraine war’s economic consequences will impact all the three economies—Russia’s, Europe’s and America’s. The impacts may be relatively different qualitatively and quantitatively. But actions taken against one have their inevitable economic reverberations on all. Inflation due to escalating oil and commodity price inflation... read more

Disarming Ukraine – Day SevenThe crisis, and especially the reaction of the 'west' to it, is much worse than I had feared. The U.S. government and 'western' media claim that the World condemns Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. That is however far from reality.

Disarming Ukraine – Day 7The crisis, and especially the reaction of the 'west' to it, is much worse than I had feared. The U.S. government and 'western' media claim that the World condemns Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. That is however far from reality. It is only true if true if you believe 'the world' solely exists of the 5-eye spying cooperation (U.S., UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand), the European Union, Switzerland, Japan and Singapore.

Deadly with extreme weather now, climate change is about to get so much worse.

Why Women Are More Susceptible To Alzheimer’s DiseaseBeing a woman is correlated to being twice as men to develop Alzheimer's disease, but lacking a scientific foundation for why, epidemiology is limited to noting it on a population level and moving on. A new paper seeks to create a biological hypothesis. The authors say the C/EBPβ/AEP pathway is the core factor driving the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases and searched for female hormones that are dramatically changed during menopause and tested which hormone selectively activates the C/EBPβ/AEP pathway. They have identified follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) as the major pa... read more

In Times Of Financial Stress, Buying Makes Us Less HappyPresident Biden is touting his strong economic performance but the public disagrees; his approval rating is in the 30th percentile because an expanding economy as framed by politicians still means high inflation to people paying taxes. The psychological impacts of bad economic performance are evident also; when times are good, spending makes people happy. When times are bad, spending is stressful. Customers even leave worse reviews, according to a new paper. read more read more

TO REPUBLICANS, THE UNDERDOGS ARE ALWAYS THE OVERDOGSAt The Bulwark, William Saletan compares President Biden's State of the Union address and Donald Trump's CPAC speech. Saletan writes: Biden urged America to stand up for the principle of sovereignty: that no country, without provocation, should invade another. Trump belittled that principle, arguing that America should worry about its own borders instead of pretending that “Ukraine’s borders are sacred.” “The Biden administration has spent months obsessing over how to stop an invasion of a foreign country thousands of miles away,” Trump sneered. “The Biden administration cares more... read more

Why Wouldn’t the US Negotiate With Putin?[image: undefined] It’s of course possible that Vladimir Putin was always hell-bent on invading Ukraine, that his decision was taken months if not years ago, and that no diplomatic intervention would have made any difference. Yes, that is possible. But it is also the case that the only country capable of making any difference in addressing the “security” concerns Putin claimed were driving his behavior — and thus, the only relevant diplomatic player in the situation — was the US.
