The Democrats set out to destroy Donald Trump. Instead, they energized his movement.
Thoughts on Ukraine, Part 5: Post-War Assessment and Rebuild
I understand the conflict is ongoing and does not have a known end date or end state conditions. But the sooner the USG, NATO, and the EU think through the dynamics of assessment, the quicker they can respond and conduct it. If they stand up coordinated assessment teams now, they can start assessing pre-conflict items, and conflict response now and gathering data.
“I’m from the government, and I’m here to help!”
Remember the halcyon days of 2020 and 2021, in which Philadelphia, among most major cities, allowed restaurants which had been otherwise closed to indoor dining, to expand, where they physically could, to outdoor dining facilities?

THOUGHTS ON UKRAINE, PART 4: HOLD THE KLEPTOCRATS RESPONSIBLE
I think we also need to keep in mind the problems that a harsh peace settlement can create. The Treaty of Versailles created WWII. We certainly do not want that. We need to use WWII’s peace as an example. Our goal should be to incorporate Russia into the west as a responsible state with an effective government that embraces human and western values.
Therefore, I propose a different way to handle these war crimes. Separate the kleptocrats from the state. Prosecute the kleptocrats and use their considerable personal wealth to pay for the damage they inflicted in Ukraine. By most accounts, this is billions of dollars.

To save mountain lions The town’s decision drew quick scorn as a brazen attempt to evade even minimally denser development in one of …
Meet the Leader of the Free World
Since the World War II era, the President of the United States is looked upon as leader of the free world. Some of the men handled this task well, accepting the challenge from their first day in office: Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any …

“No expert, but the invasion doesn’t seem to be going particularly well.”
Thoughts on Ukraine, Part 3: Klepto-Free Energy
Part 3 looks at energy. I think it is the number one security threat. It is at least partly responsible for the situation in Ukraine, both through funding and supporting Russia’s attack through Europe’s current dependence on petroleum-based energy from Russia.
