“Se Putin e Zelensky non riescono a mettersi d’accordo, il ruolo dell’Europa deve essere quello di convincere Zelensky a cedere, certamente non Putin”

Il sistema pensionistico italiano, così com'è, non è sostenibile. È la prima voce di spesa pubblica, comprime tutto il resto e grava sempre di più sul lavoro. E quasi nessuno, in fondo, si è pagato la propria pensione: a pagarla è chi lavora oggi. Ne parliamo nella newsletter.

The situation of the Novopavlivka-Ivanivka front is currently the most difficult for Russian 🇷🇺 forces

🔹After months of infiltrations, often covered by OPSEC, the Ukrainians 🇺🇦 liberated a bunch of villages and cleared both Ivanivka and Novopavlivka from previous infiltrations. In this area, around 55 km2 of grey zone are most likely under Ukrainian control, as per high FAB strikes number.

🔹The main Russian problem is logistical. All roads leading to the area are exposed and under fire. The only places used for accumulation are Bahatyr (completly destroyed) and Komar (partially destroyed, hit by Ukrainian airstrikes). After these villages, Russian infantry still need to walk on foot, on open roads from 5 to 10 km to reach "frontline" villages and positions before assaults.

🔹Recent videos showed multiple casualties after Russian infantry were sent across the Vovcha (Bahatyr-Ivanivka), Solena (Novopavlivka) and Mokri Yali (Komar) river. Despite these losses, Russian infantry is still tasked to attack the New Donbas Line section between Novopavlivka and Ivanivka (they need to cross 2 rivers and 3 ditches), which is suicidal, knowing they have been attacking here for 10 months !)

🔹Russian "flaggers" continue to be sighted in Iskra, further west, in an attempt from the 90th tank division to show they control the situation to their command. Regularly on Telegram, Russian bloggers complain about the risk of Ukrainian entrance in Komar, since fighting have been happening in Piddubne for weeks. The situation is not very good for the 29th CAA in this sector, but the danger of further explotation is limited due to rivers.

🔹Ukraine deployed 3 air assault brigades (79th, 80th, 95th) in the direction to push back russian forces behind the Mokri Yali river and further reinforce their lines in the sector. This also gives more losses for Russia forces. The main challenge is the large number of airstrikes falling on their positions. If airstrikes decreased in Hulialpole, they slightly increased here recently, including more than 50 in the large yellow perimeter on the map, inside the grey zone between Komar and Ivanivka.

🔹With Novopavlivka under Ukrainian control and Ivanivka secured, the UAF can move south to pressure and trap russians attempting to attack the New Donbas Line fortified section. But it is probably much more interesting to keep the situation as it is currently, since this is an open kill zone for tens or hundreds of Russians every month. For further exploitation, the Komar/Velika Novosilka directions are much more interesting in order to further slow down or postpone Russian offensive momentum in Hulialpole.

For this situation review, I used @AndrewPerpetua base map and @WarUnitObserver observations about unit deployment.

L’Italia non ha bisogno di più statali, ha bisogno di uno Stato che funzioni.

L’Italia non muore di mancanza di dipendenti pubblici, muore di troppa spesa pubblica improduttiva, burocrazia asfissiante e clientelismo dilagante.

Posti pubblici a pioggia, aumento indiscriminato della spesa, clientelismo spacciato per «opportunità per i giovani». L’ennesimo inganno sul loro futuro.

Una politica e un ministro che non hanno mai parlato di riforme vere:
-Zero semplificazione della burocrazia;
-Zero valutazione del merito e della produttività;
-Zero responsabilità per chi non lavora o sbaglia;
-Zero efficientamento: si assumono e basta, senza toccare privilegi e inefficienze accumulate in decenni

Zero. Esattamente come il valore politico di questo Ministro

Il campo Lavrov continua a dare prova di deferenza al verbo putiniano. Oggi Travaglio (Slurp!) difende Conte, secondo il quale la Nato sarebbe convinta del fatto che la Russia non rappresenti una minaccia né per Ue né per Nato. Seguono diapositive. Campo Lavrov o campo clown?

Non si nascondono nemmeno più. È come se l’emergere di #Vannacci abbia liberato le pulsioni anti-ucraine e anti-europee che covavano da tempo anche nel Campo largo. Diventa quindi tutto più palese ed esplicito e il buon senso dovrebbe portare le élite politiche a ridisegnare completamente gli schieramenti rispetto all’ormai logorato schema della Seconda Repubblica. Ma, si sa, non c’è peggiore sordo di chi non vuol sentire.

Deeply saddened by the news of the passing of United States Senator Lindsey Graham. Lindsey was a true defender of freedom and the values that make our world safer.

He visited Ukraine ten times during the years of Russia's full-scale invasion and was here with our people when it was most needed. We remained in constant dialogue, and I will miss our conversations. We met twice in just the past week.

A staunch advocate for bipartisan and bicameral support for Ukraine, in recent weeks, he had been working on important initiatives that could help bring peace closer, including stronger sanctions against Russia. We will always be especially grateful for the recognition of our people and words of admiration for the courage of Ukraine’s defenders.

America and the world have lost a determined leader.

Our condolences go out to Lindsey’s family, loved ones, and everyone who had the privilege of working alongside him.

Ma perché non usi l’intelligenza artificiale - essendo sfornito di quella umana - prima di scrivere queste idiozie? La distanza stradale da Mosca e San Pietroburgo più o meno quanto Roma da Vienna e Roma da Berlino. Ora al di là della geografia occorrerebbe spiegarti l’origine e l’evoluzione del principato di Kiev e la nascita della cultura nazionale ucraina. Ma qui ti rimando a Wikipedia. Uno non vale uno, vale zero.

From the pages of The Economist, Putin addresses the leaders of democratic countries with a simple message: 

It is wrong to put pressure on Russia, so you must change your approach and, as before, silently acquiesce to all the crimes of the Kremlin.

In this article by a Putin-aligned oligarch, there isn’t even a hint that it is Russia that needs to change its approach -

to stop spending half its budget on war, to release journalists, artists, scientists, and environmentalists from prison, to stop killing people and destroying residential buildings, hospitals, museums, and kindergartens in Ukraine. 

And most importantly, to stop this bloody war that has already caused more than a million Russian casualties alone.

And if that is the case, then it means the approach of democratic countries is correct. We must keep up the pressure. The cost of war for Putin must become higher than the cost of peace.

And then peace will have a chance.

At the core of your argument is this statement

"Capitalism, meanwhile, is a specific institutional arrangement that emerged relatively recently in human history, around the 16th to 17th centuries. It is NOT just people “trading stuff”. It is instead the legal and financial system where the means of production are privately owned, and the primary objective is the continuous, infinite accumulation of capital."

Am I wrong to infer from this that - according to your theory - to have "commerce" and "trading stuff" whitout "capitalism" one should NOT allow for the private property of the means of production?

Assume this is the case. How do people "trade stuff" when they do not own the means of production?

How do you own the "stuff" the means of production produce without owning the "means" (does that include labor, human capital, ideas ... or not?) producing them?

How would that work? Could you explain?

Put it differently:

- IF "capitalism" emerged between 1500 and 1700, and

- IF "capitalism" means that means of production are privately owned

WHO owned the means of production during, say, the XIII century?

Are you stating that before (roughly) 1500 there was no private ownership of means of production?

Those bankers and traders in Florence, Venice and Genoa ... what did they own? Nothing?

1.200 anni di dati sui ciliegi in fiore

A Kyoto, monaci e cronisti annotano la data di piena fioritura dei ciliegi (Prunus jamasakura) dall'anno 812. È una delle serie fenologiche più lunghe mai raccolte dall'uomo: dodici secoli di osservazioni.

Per 1.100 anni la media trentennale oscilla tra il 10 e il 20 aprile. Su e giù, secolo dopo secolo, dentro una banda stabile. Rumore naturale.

Poi arriva il Novecento e la curva precipita. Oggi la fioritura media cade attorno al 5 aprile — fuori da qualsiasi valore registrato in dodici secoli. Il 2021 ha segnato il record assoluto: la fioritura più precoce dall'812.

Every year on this day, Poland and Ukraine honor the memory of people – civilians – who were killed in Volyn during the Second World War. Today, representatives of the Ukrainian state took part in joint prayer services alongside representatives of the Polish state – both here in Ukraine and in Poland.

Ukraine is doing its part to fairly establish the facts about those who were killed in those years. Search operations are underway at the sites of former villages and burial locations. Ukraine is committed to accelerating this process. In just two days, exhumation work will begin in the villages of Ostrivky and Volya Ostrovetska.

What we need is the full truth and a Christian commemoration of the victims. But we must also remember that today, in our own time, Ukraine and Poland face one common threat, which is a deadly threat to our independence, to both our states, to every city and every village. That threat is Russia. As we speak about the past, we must not cast doubt on the future of our nations – the future of Ukraine, of Poland, and the future of all of Europe.
