viability?

For sure we will see a lesson on the efficacy of homeopathic cancer remedies. Not the one ol' Chucky boy anticipates though.

Re: Your closest brush with death?

1994 I was illegally exploring the abandoned Fort Weatherill in Jamestown, RI. It's an old Civil War era gun fort that protected Narragansett Bay. We were young and stupid and crawled in through a broken door. Had a tiny and inadequate flashlight. I took a step in the dark and there was no floor. Fe...

Re: Ukraine reacts to fears of Russian invasion as troops build up at the border

Trade was critical. But it was also the carrot to MAD’s stick. MAD is built upon the idea that humans in leadership positions are -at worst- semi-rational beings. Problem is, that isn't entirely the case. In addition, MAD is built on very shaky foundations, meaning that it has a timetable before so...

I am a little concerned about what I’m hearing minimizing the effects of Nuclear WWIII on the west. It would be a disaster that would cripple North America and Europe for generations. Yes, there are far fewer warheads in the world these days. The Russians have around 1500 actively deployed and a few...

Weirdly, it's like the first few years of the US and friends in Iraq. They went from "unstoppable" to "uh oh" and now it looks like they're in the early part of "quagmire." Amazingly it went to shit in less than two weeks. It took the US years to get to this level of s...

I have got to say, as a finnish person we've lived all our lives with the thread of Russia on our borders and the idea has always been that if they attack, they'll steamroll us and our tactic basically to make them bleed for it, basically make the price so high it no longer seems palatable.

That's it. This is what Putin wanted. He's got the Ukraine, and indeed a good chunk of Europe and Asia by the balls now.

I get the sense that China largely wants to sit this one out and observe, not having any real interest in Ukraine themselves and really not wanting WWIII to come out of this.

China's advantage is long term. If they can get themselves established in the Russian economy now, they will still be there after sanctions lift. Yes, stands to reason.
