The U.S. suspends part of its weapons deliveries to Ukraine without warning its closest European ally, cuts a direct military coordination channel, and now German generals have to rely on embassy staff “who try to find someone in the Pentagon.”

The New German War Machine
After World War II, Germany embraced pacifism as a form of atonement. Now the country is arming itself again.

Closing the Black Sea to russia would be the best sanction possible. And we must do it to survive. If someone doesn’t like it — go to Putin and demand that he end the war and free Ukrainian land. That is the only way. End/

Russian economic collapse: Russian Railways has urgently requested 200 billion rubles because it's out of money.
The government is afraid to give them money though because so many other state companies are in equally deep trouble and need money too.

‚Don't expect Russia to abide by agreements as long as it's an empire.‘
‚Don't expect Russia to abide by agreements as long as it's an empire.‘
I have finally gotten around to writing a new piece for my newsletter. We hear a lot about "agreements" which could be reached with Russia in the future. So I decided to look at Russia's history through this lens. Spoiler alert: Don't expect Russia to abide by agreements as long as it's an empire.
The history of Russia as a history of Perpetual Agreement-Breaking
Russia has, for most of its history, been a colonial empire and remains one to this day. As long as this is the case, don't expect Russia to stick to its own agreements. The problem is structural.

Zu glauben, dass in der Belohnung von Krieg ein Weg zum Frieden liegt, ist eine blanke Illusion. Es kann vielleicht zu einer taktischen Kriegspause führen, aber die wird nicht halten. Denn wer Krieg belohnt, der erntet nicht Frieden, sondern nur noch mehr Krieg.
