RE Trump's talk to impose sanctions on countries importing Russian oil/gas:

The Hall of Shame is public knowledge: China, India, Turkey, Singapore, Egypt, Brazil.

Trump says if RUS tanks did not get stuck in the mud, they would have been in Kyiv. The photo shows how the "mud" looked like in reality.

Make no mistake: it was the heroism of Ukrainians that stopped Rus tanks

Trump: Russia not taking over #Ukraine is a concession

In 1938 @ Munich, Hitler made a concession too: GER will not occupy the rest of Czechoslovakia but Czechoslovakia has to cede the Sudetenland to the Reich.

Germany occupied Czechoslovakia anyway 6 months later. Then we had WW2

Another RUS attack on Kyiv and other #Ukraine cities.... in Kyiv, at least 2 are dead and scores are injured.

Trump says he has a deal with RUS and he needs a deal with Ukraine.

This is how they nudge Ukraine to accept unacceptable

Vance says there is ceasefire in #Ukraine. In reality, Russia attacks Ukrainian cities every day.

Instead of reading "stories" about Ukraine, Vance should accept Zelensky's invitation and come to Ukraine to see things first hand. Plus reception may be less chilly than in Greenland.

Fresh sociological data from #Ukraine:

1) Are Ukrainians willing to have peace at any price? Hell no!

2) Are Ukrainians ready to continue fighting 🇷🇺 aggression if US drops out? Hell yes!

🇺🇸&others have been grossly underestimating 🇺🇦...

Witkoff says RUS will not attack Europe because there is NATO and so Europe feels safe.

Yes, this is why Europe wants to spend 800 billion euros on defense.

Of course, you can believe Witkoff.

Mike Waltz said today that cease fire has been in effect since Trump called Putin.

Reality check: Russia has been attacking #Ukraine every day. Today at least 3 people in Kyiv were killed by Russian drones

Of course, don't believe your lying eyes. Believe what Putin tells you.

What are the effects of macroeconomic #uncertainty on consumers&firms?

In short, randomized controlled trials show that macroeconomic uncertainty inhibits econ activity

Economic Policy Uncertainty index is now higher than it was during COVID.

This means a higher prob of a recession

Q: As a candidate, you promised to end the [Rus-Ukr] war in 24 hours?

TRUMP: I was sarcastic.

This is how you win credibility. Sarcasm.

From the Economist:
A huge majority (74%) of Ukrainians favour fighting on even without US support. A clear majority (59% v 21%) say they believe #Ukraine can still win on the battlefield, in contrast to American officials such as Marco Rubio, the US sec of state, who say it can't.

10 year ago, Oli Coibion ( @empctmacrotx.bsky.social ) and I had a paper in AEJ Macro about inflation expectations in the U.S. (www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=...). We found that oil/gasoline prices strongly predict inflation expectations. This "iron law" continues to hold.

Bush '01: I looked Putin in the eye. I found him to be very straightforward&trustworthy. I was able to get a sense of his soul.

Obama '10: reset relations with 🇷🇺 &reverse a “dangerous drift”

Trump '25 trusts Putin will ‘keep his word’ on a deal to end the war in #Ukraine

Clearly, there is a big decline in Ukraine's research output (publications) in Scopus-indexed journals in 2023 relatively to 2022. This shows lags in the publication process. It takes time (and money) to rebuild a pipeline of research projects.

See how co-authorship structure has shifted from 🇷🇺 to 🇵🇱, 🇩🇪, 🇺🇸, etc. These linkages will help rebound/rebuild science in 🇺🇦.
