Nothing new. In Italy, during a talk show, he said he had been taken to Maidan by someone who pointed out the people who had been paid to organize a coup.
It's strange that he remembered this only 12 years later and forgot that on that same day in 2014, he had attended a press conference in Kyiv, where he hadn't mentioned this, had called Russia an aggressor state, and had even said he had offered his help to the Ukrainian government—the same one that, if what he says is true, he should have considered a coup plotter.
Sachs is just a pathetic liar, as well as a useful idiot.
NYT out with a jaw dropping investigative report on the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. 60 Minutes reported last Sunday on some of this, too. The NYT report is a must-read, the 60 Minutes report should then be watched. 1/3
@Noahpinion@ProfJAParker Dear Rubio, you did not succeed because we all know that your government colluded with Putin. We don’t know exactly why, but we have more than a suspicion
I am a US citizen, but I have never in my life been so disappointed with the US. The reasons are many:
1. The US people have elected a president who represent all the deadly sins. How could they do that? Are they so morally deprived?
2. Lying has been normalized. Trump made it the standard.
3. The US used to claim the non-partisan rule of law, but SCOTUS has been proven utterly corrupt & obedient to Trump.
4. The US used to boast about its checks and balances, but they don't exist. The republicans in Congress are obedient servants of one man.
5. The US used to oppose corruption, but the Trump crime family is probably the most corrupt ruling family in the world. How can SCOTUS & the republicans in Congress accept that?
6. The US used to be considered a democracy, but massive gerrymandering & voter discrimination make US elections not very democratic.
7. Reporters without Broders have rightly lowered the US to rank #64 in its sound World Press Freedom index. the US no longer has media freedom, because of extortion and oppression through defamation court cases.
8. The US used to be the security guarantee of the free world, but Trump only praises Xi Jingping, Putin, Lukashenko & Kim Jong Un.
Is the US able to extract itself from the Trump trap, in which it has fallen so deeply?
They know it, the problem is that they approve it. Why? Do we know who finances AFD? And who finances other parties in Europe? European citizens should ask full disclosure on the source of financing of all expenses of the parties in their countries
“Putin harms the German people. Putin harms Europe. Putin is killing people in Europe.” - Jürgen Hardt, member of the German Bundestag from Christian Democratic Union of Germany (CDU), addressing the Alternative for Germany (AfD).
In the fifth year of the full-scale war in Europe, it is necessary to repeat the obvious things.
Russia started an unprovoked war against Ukraine.
Russia is a war-criminal state and a terrorist state.
Russia is a threat to Europe and to Germany.

As his term as Chair of the @federalreserve comes to an end, I wish Jerome Powell the very best.
I witnessed first-hand his great leadership, his focus on his mandate, and his unwavering commitment to the public interest. He is a role model and a standard-setter for many.
He will always be remembered.
NYT: Russia is shipping drone parts to Iran through the Caspian Sea to help Tehran rebuild after reportedly losing around 60% of its drone arsenal in recent fighting, U.S. officials say.
Why does Trump keep giving Russia a pass?
The U.S. has imposed sanctions on Chinese companies that supplied Iran with satellite imagery of U.S. military facilities in the Middle East — U.S. State Department.
Before you ask: while Russia did indeed commit the same crime—providing satellite imagery of U.S. bases to Iran, and even planning to supply Iran with 5,000 drones for attacks against U.S. soldiers—Trump would never take action against mass murderer Putin.

Punto fondamentale, Tommaso. In generale, aggiungerei anche che alcuni percorsi scolastici che sembrano di successo magari lo sono solo per selection bias di studenti e docenti. Cosa sarebbero diventati quegli studenti con docenti di alto livello in altri percorsi scolastici?
In teoria il liceo *scientifico* italiano é la scuola perfetta. Tanta matematica/scienze, letteratura, filosofia, storia, fisica. Il mondo ideale.
Ma il punto dolente non è *che cosa* insegna questa magnifica scuola. Il punto é *come* la insegna.
Di questo dobbiamo discutere.
Fiscal and financial dominance could erode central bank independence in the future, @Isabel_Schnabel says at @FMG_LSE. Preserving independence requires prudent fiscal and regulatory policies, as well as central banks remaining firmly within their mandates.

BREAKING: This is absolute cinema 🔥
🇺🇸 Trump: We are removing 5,000 USA troops from Europe.
🇵🇱Polish PM Tusk: "NATO breaking apart. Russia sanctions eased. Europe in an energy meltdown. Ukraine aid stopped. All US troops out of Europe. Feels like Putin wrote the script.
Starting to look like Trump is a Moscow’s asset" 🔥
The man literally exposed Trump 🔥👏
History will view Trump as the primary accelerator of the end of US hegemony.
His chaotic foreign policy has perfectly paved the way for the rise of China and a new multipolar reality.
He is actively dismantling American global influence
Trump is a tragedy for humanity. The only good thing that can come from such a tragedy is that Europe continues to push forward with establishing strategic independence. We will then be happy to welcome back the US as our friend when they are wise again. But is Europe ready?
How long will it take before European leaders understand that Trump is fundamentally incapable of sticking to a deal, that he'll just randomly violate it whenever he feels like it and that he won't behave until we push back and make him pay a price for this kind of shit?

Canada : you wonder why Trump is acting the way it does? Constantly making the decision that benefits Russia, even to the detriment of the USA and -always- to the detriment of its allies like Canada?
This Guardian exclusive explains it all :
"Vladimir Putin personally authorised a secret spy agency operation to support a “mentally unstable” Donald Trump in the 2016 US presidential election... according to what are assessed to be leaked Kremlin documents."
"There is also apparent confirmation that the Kremlin possesses kompromat, or potentially compromising material, on the future president, collected – the document says – from Trump’s earlier “non-official visits to Russian Federation territory”."
"There is a brief psychological assessment of Trump, who is described as an “impulsive, mentally unstable and unbalanced individual who suffers from an inferiority complex”."
TRUMP, TO THIS DAY, WHO SUES EVERYBODY AND THEIR MOTHER, HAS NEVER SUED THE GUARDIAN.
