Really good interview of Stephen Kotkin, who may be the world's leading scholar on Stalin, on the current crisis in Ukraine. They talk a lot about how the west has underestimated its power, and how the surprisingly unified western reaction to Russia's invasion of Ukraine may function as a lesson for the CCP, regarding China's relationship with Taiwan.

"We are going to see increased gas prices here in the United States. In Europe, they will see dramatic increases in prices. That's the cost of standing up for freedom and standing alongside the Ukrainian people, but it's going to cost us," Coons told CNN.

I like that it's the Americans leading the ban whilst also saying it will be Europe that's hit hardest. Thanks, guys!

 

[Leo]

you're not in Europe anymore, so no problem.

Apparently we don't rely on Russia too heavily, but if prices go up then it will hit us anyway.

As someone who's both too ignorant and too fragile to follow this whole situation, should i be more worried about rising gas prices or nuclear war?

 

[luka]
