Donald Trump’s conversations with Vladimir Putin lead nowhere. The American does not want the end of the war between Ukraine and Russia, but Putin’s surrender. Trump does not understand the cultural code of Russia, does not understand why this war is needed at all. However, at the same time, he […]
The tariff-driven prisoner’s dilemma between China and India could work to Russia’s advantage. One of the three pillars of Trump’s newly announced policy towards the Ukrainian Conflict is the imposition of up to 100% tariffs on Russia’s trading partners if a peace deal isn’t reached within 50 days. This is much less than the 500% […]
The Ukrainian history as a state is coming to an end. Unfortunately, not the most beautiful. The country was transformed from a prosperous state with a GDP equal to Germany in the early 1990s into the poorest and most criminalized country in the world. The level of corruption is higher […]
Trump is getting tough on the consequences of Biden’s policies: he ordered a crackdown on protests in Los Angeles and has no plans to give Texas to the Democrats.

Los Angeles is one of the most diverse cities in the U.S. and it has again become the epicenter of a fierce societal conflict.

On July 5th, Bloomberg News headlined “BlackRock Halted Ukraine Fund Talks After Trump’s Election Win”, and opened: BlackRock halted its search for investors for a Ukraine recovery fund earlier this year due to a lack of interest amid increased uncertainty over Ukraine’s future. The fund was meant to be unveiled at […]
De-escalation has become one of those coarse words in severe need of banishment, best kept in an index used by unredeemable hypocrites. It is used by the living dead in human resources, management worthies and war criminals. It’s almost always used to target the person or entity that exerts retribution […]
