Some levity on Trump tariffs and a similar time I faced a capricious trade ban on EU food imports to Russia in 2014. Enjoy it with your 10% tariffed coffee! Happy Friday!

Zero Sum is coming out soon in paperback! The history of Western business in Russia remains as fresh as today’s headlines. A @ForeignAffairs 2025 book of the year, and a @nytimes editors’ choice. From @HurstPublishers. Order in advance online. @MikeDwyerMike @BenHNoble

Indeed. Thoughts with those injured and the family of man in Abu Dhabi killed, and those of course on Emirati airbases, but the local powers that be handled themselves properly today.

Minor damage to a hotel parking lot and no fatalities is not “nightmare scenario.” All in all pretty successful air defense work on day one.

@Marys_Miles @leonidragozin The idea was that Euros had collectively moved on from the 20th C depravity. The question tho isn’t why Russia didn’t ‘rise’ to contemporary ‘Europeanness’, but rather why it was pointedly prevented from doing so by not offering the carrots/sticks that its Western neighbors got.

@NFL_DovKleiman Since 1980s maybe?

[Joshua Tulgan @OdysseusRedux]

@leonidragozin Delegitimizing and distorting Russian history is a multigenerational project. Sadly objectivity went out the window long ago.

[Joshua Tulgan @OdysseusRedux]

@leonidragozin Ironic as his wife basically foreshadowed MAGA language when she uttered her opinion about the EU….

[Joshua Tulgan @OdysseusRedux]

@JamesSurowiecki @tintin_in_rus Indeed. The fact that it’s not AI is particularly hilarious as one would think only an AI bot could author such dim witted prose.

@mattrph23 @TomPelissero The #Browns have a lot to worst everything. Like other coaches he will prob find greater success elsewhere.

[Joshua Tulgan @OdysseusRedux]

@TomPelissero @RapSheet #Browns special teams performance aside I wouldn’t be surprised if he does well considering the track record of success Cleveland coaches have elsewhere.

[Joshua Tulgan @OdysseusRedux]

@ESPNCleveland NFL pundits: to win you need an offensive minded head coach preferably from the Shannahan/McVay tree.

Mike McDonald and Mike Vrabel: Hold my beer, I’ve got a Super Bowl to coach….

Such a peculiar organization….

It couldn't even kick a single liberal arts college professor off a hilltop in Pennsylvania after he ran out of ammo.

@mehdirhasan @empireburlesque This was evident in 2016….

Opinion | If Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. were alive today, he would give his Nobel peace prize to Donald Trump

@JackGormanSport I’d wager this is one reason why the team parted ways w Stefanski….

[Joshua Tulgan @OdysseusRedux]

@Matthew_Kupfer @Euan_MacDonald Large segments of the population in the US have lived for decades in this sort of state.

[Joshua Tulgan @OdysseusRedux]

@IuliiaMendel @leonidragozin That’s basically the autopsy on most wars actually….

[Joshua Tulgan @OdysseusRedux]

@Browns Prob the best option as he is from Northern England so knows very little about Cleveland relative to an American hire.

[Joshua Tulgan @OdysseusRedux]

@TonyGrossi McDaniel should pursue the OC job in TB. CLE job is a trap of sorts given the QB situation and the risk of having to play Watson.

[Joshua Tulgan @OdysseusRedux]

@MaryKayCabot They had 18 yrs to do diligence on Harbaugh. The fact that they have to is a good indicator of why he went 28-8 against the Browns.

[Joshua Tulgan @OdysseusRedux]

@Tombalabomba3 @leonidragozin It’s always debatable. There are usually extenuating circumstances, and it’s rarely so black and white. That’s the point. 👊🏼
