@jackprandelli Spot on analysis, Jack. Most desks are totally blind to the fact that China drawing down its massive cushion is a temporary shield not structural weakness. When that buffer runs dry and they have to restock into depleted OECD inventories, the coiled spring snaps. Great write-up
@IAPonomarenko Another rule of π: When Putin says: The West has crossed a sacred red line!
It means : A smoking accident in a munitions depot just launched a tank turret into low Earth orbit.
@TheDeadDistrict Russian move to close the SuwaΕki gap is no longer an instant checkmate against the Baltics. Instead of isolating NATO forces, Russia would find itself fighting a multi-front war against a fully unified Baltic Sea region.
@Gerashchenko_en At this rate, the Kremlin is going to have to update its propaganda. Itβs hard to threaten to freeze Europe when your own tractors are stranded in a field because someone forgot to refine the crude
@Gerashchenko_en Russia entire economic strategy for decades has basically been:
Step 1: Pump oil.

@LXSummer1 Russian troops won't be pushed out of Crimea by a charging army they will be forced to evacuate because they run out of fresh water, diesel, and artillery shells. Brilliant strategy!
@nexta_tv Just over the last few weeks, Ukrainian deep strike drones have systematically gutted Russia core infrastructure. They have knocked out 25% of Russiaβs entire oil-refining capacity. Russia could very well face a functional paralysis in the coming months.
@PhysInHistory Feynman felt string theorists were playing a game of Texas Sharpshooter.
Imagine a guy firing a shotgun at the side of a barn, and then walking up afterward and painting a bullseye around the biggest cluster of bullet holes, claiming he's a master marksman.
@nexta_tv EU sanctions require a unanimous vote, all eyes are on whether Ireland will finally stop protecting the plant or attempt to block the measure.
@Ric_RTP Very good read.
You pulled back the curtain to reveal that it isn't a law of nature it is a policy choice.
The system is working exactly the way its Gilded Age architects intended. π
We are the very first generations of humans to live with an external, collective brain (the internet) that never forgets. It exposes every slip every cognitive decline, and every lie in high definition. It's also the place where we can see Trump brain misfire time and time again
