And with PPI coming in hot this morning, FJB can kiss his election year rate cuts goodbye!

All trends towards conflict.
US has close to zero interest in exploiting the arctic, even when part of US. Russia shows interest and the usual suspects warn of war.

Not under FJB...under Trump there could be some friendly competition...with FJB types there is only anger without any attempt to utilize...

Back on the high-level shake up...

I don't even think the idiots spewing this gibberish about desperation even believe their own BS...and on the cost side of things they are only half right and the casualties side outright silly...

I see this all as an efficiency move...Shoigu stays close and saves face...new guy at Defense seems to be a good administrator who seems to get along with other officials, anything strategic he is going to rely on his general staff and all will do as Putin decides anyway...

Dolts in this corrupt compromised FJB regime and the halls of EuroStan are blowing smoke as usual.

I found a couple slavic folk groups I like. They might be Polish. Some of these norse folk groups have too much metal IMO. Not these.

Dziwoludy is one
https://www.youtube.com/@Dziwoludy
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhcdMuV4wVrwHt6jkUSpdrIR5gGfe8zon

Zniwa is a couple:  violinist and a guitar lute (aka bastard lute) player. VERY NICE

Here they play the standard Herr Mannelig

Canned coffee is hard to come by now?  Like the big can of Folgers?  I still see it, especially in Costco as that big green can of decaf is the only decaf my local store carries.  I have to order online to get the beans.

...

The former and latter is a hallmark for the specious argument some like to engage in...

Since it is clear to anybody who studies Chinese history that the Communists betrayed the Chinese cause for independence...the nationalists bore the brunt of the fighting against the Imperial Japanese, while that POS Mao snuck around and seduced more into his cult...and the weakened nationalists were ripe for communist attack and propaganda...and the civil war ended when the weakened nationalists escaped to Taiwan.  Chiang should have turned The Long March into the Long Mass Grave...see what happens when you fail to stop commies dead in their tracks?

Anyway, Taiwanese consider themselves Chinese, duh...they are Chinese!  Sons and daughters of free Chinese.

I'd take free Chinese over Communist Chinese, free China over Communist China...and I think most people would.

The book Blacklisted by History goes into how commie fellow travelers in China fed false info the the US govt to bend US aid toward Mao.  Also one such person in Yugoslavia to favor Tito. Amazing how much harm a small number of people can do.
