Good analysis, but overlooks the natural structure that will emerge as a result, and offers potential to solve the hard problem of the region by different means.

I understand. So did putin. That’s why he has been hollowing out the regions, redistributing assets to european russia, and seeking to conquer ukraine.
Many geostrategists, myself included, predicted this necessity. However, P could have made RU as prosperous as Norway instead.

Iraq invaded Kuwait. US removed them. Put in place a policing force to prevent a repetition. Iraq repeatedly challenged that policing force. US removed the government. Iraqis paid the price for not controlling their govt. Just as RU is paying the price now (and future).

You don’t understand. Because of Putins aggressions, russian war crimes and atrocities, Russia has no future. The economic and demographic collapse Putin sought to escape by conquering the fertile land of Ukraine, will leave RU to asia and the muslims and the W RU to poverty.

(either or fallacy) Reconciliation requires: stagnation, restitution, punishment, and prevention. Escalation: from normative, economic, political to moral. RU’s invastion, war crimes, atrocities, have converted a political to a moral, meaning minimum reconciliation is punishment.

Appears RU will try to hold Lugansk from the north, and they’re uncertain about the line in the south. Probably trying for the left bank. UA won’t tolerate it. But I can see ditching lughansk.

Correct. But the project is unfinished. We were too kind to both RU and CN. And we never f…ing learn. Our optimism in mankind has positive internal consequences but negative external consequences. The rest of the world is not european nor christian, and we assume we’re normal

I agree with 20% or more, as much as half, of everything every faction says. I’m just on board with the Bretton Woods strategy of preventing another world war, by continuing the economic integration of the world, thereby suppressing imperial desires at the expense of ANYONE.

This is the most important long term question facing us. We screwed-up by letting the counter-revolution against nazis expand to a counter-revolution against natural selection, and taken to the extreme, against soft eugenics limiting reproduction of the underclasses. https://twitter.com/curtdoolittle/status/1584629668388704256

Riffing off this: Royal and Noble Families need to be LARGE, in order to supply sufficient population to retain long term capital, strategy, policy, given the lifetime of political production cycles. Only nobility has owner rather than renter incentives for the polity’s assets. https://twitter.com/PeterZeihan/status/1584552989809074177
