The former President of Mongolia satirically strikes back at Putin’s historical justifications for invading Ukraine

As with London buses, you can wait ages for one war and then several come along. I've spent a lot of time in the past year and a half warning of a cascade of conflict and its likely consequences. A quick review:

[David Rosenberg @EconguyRosie]

Nobody talked about the release of real GDI today. It shrunk 2.3% SAAR in Q1 after a 3.3% Q4 contraction. Averaging it out with GDP, the economy has contracted for back-to-back quarters and in 4 of the past 5! The recession has arrived and nobody’s noticed.

Look, and do not turn away. Bakhmut is not just a line on a map. It was a city, full of life. Now thanks to Russia it is a smoking ruin, and who controls the rubble is not the point. This is terror that must be defeated. https://t.co/P27KxJZ6Wx

In Germany, American intelligence officer Richard Helms writes to his 3-year old son, Dennis, on Adolf Hitler's stationery: "The man who might have written on this card once controlled Europe... Today he is dead, his memory despised, his country in ruins." https://t.co/U022WmYlPi

If the right to vote in the 2024 election were restricted to former Trump cabinet members, Biden would win in a landslide

1/ 🧵Explaining economic trends is central to the Wall Street Journal's mission. This article about Russia's economy unraveling is the last one @evangershkovich wrote before his arrest for what Moscow claimed was espionage, which WSJ & U.S. gov't deny https://t.co/eobVQNpR22

[Extreme Temperatures Around The World @extremetemps]

Both Morocco and Canary Islands could approach 40C

@D_Blanchflower and I have issued a press release on how we see the banking crisis developing. We think there is a very real contagion risk that central banks need to respond to very urgently with rate cuts over the next few days. The release is in the rest of this thread.

@EconguyRosie 100% right

[Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb]

Most of us who went into finance in the 80s knew in great detail what happened in the 60s, 40s, 20s & even the 19th century. Some of us studied EVERY recorded past crisis.

We are seeing VCs & hotshots like my two recent preys who don't even know what really happened in 2007.
