Edward is proposing a utilitarian solution so that the USA can pivot to China. The fact that it is a rational solution but rewards Russia for aggression is troublesome.
Was gaining Crimea and two provinces worth losing billions in reserves, and restoring, revitilizing and expanding NATO, when RU could have simply purchased them in 2014 because Ukrainians (myself included at the time) would have been happy to divest the country of the sh–hole provinces that were the home of the communists, sedition, and organized crime?
I can’t predict the possibility, but that possibility is non-zero. And the Ukrainians want blood. So even if settled I see a frozen conflict.

If trump wanted a coup he need only have asked for it. He would have had it. It would have been over in hours and millions of us would have amplified it.
He believed and still believes the election was manipiulated, and so do many of his voters.
There is no evidence of intent. Just the opposite.
Wh? Trump wanted to govern and leave a legacy.
If he wanted a revolution tomorrow he would only need to say so and it would be successful and over in days.

Ricardo didnt state that unambiguously. 😉 He means that in the postwar revolt against darwin, in the corporation, in classical liberalism, in our federations, moarchies, and empires, in the christian ethic, in aristocratic egalitarianism (open natural aristocracy of merit), and in our high trust (universal militia), we have so surpressed our tribalism in favor of merit that it is logical to presume a blank slate – at least abstractly – and logical that the left would exploit that premise just as the exploit our high trust.

James, all:
Not Quite The Correct take.
Every ideology was a reaction to modernity, and every ideology was progressive: Anglo (commercial) Classical Liberalism, French (Catholic) Liberalism, Peasant (jewish) Communism, Monarchical (Martial) Fascism.
Dimensions:
Fascism(defensive) vs Communism(offensive)
National vs Global
Aristocracy vs Peasantry.
Martial vs Clerical
Masculine vs Feminine
Commons vs Consumption
Responsibility vs Irresponsibility
Eugenic vs Dysgenic
True vs False dogma
Christian vs Jewish

It’s cute. The left is exceptional at conspiratorial behavior so without an honest cabinet nothing will ever come of it even if it was true.
