To The War Reporter

You go to the source of the action, You take the risk, The Ukrainian soldier tells you as much as he’s allowed And you sift through it all to capture the essence, Their humanity, their fears, their courage. At those moments, when you’re listening and carefully observing all that you’ve been allowed to immerse in, you become…

What We Need to Say to Russia Now

One taboo just came down. There are at least two left. The taboo that came down was the one that said the West shouldn’t send tanks into Ukraine because it would upset the Russians. The tanks would be too much fire power and the big bear would growl louder. After much…

China and India. War Profiteers

The war needs to end. It is a major disruptor of the economy and great driving force for inflation. The Western alliance has supported Ukraine with America being the one carrying the heavier burden. Sanctions on Russia are working and energy experts say the consequent lack of access to western technology…

Mr Scholz. Can You be A War Chancellor?

There are no doubts about your talents, sir. Under your leadership, Germans have made strict adjustments in energy consumption. And Germany’s productive capacity has also shown in the speed with which the LNGs (liquified natural gas terminals) have been built. So thank you and Germans for that. But there is still the…

From Russians to the Chinese

Do not be fooled by Xi Jinping like we have been by Vladimir Putin. To hold free elections is a great advancement in human beings’ political history. Power corrupts and no one is spared. No one, no matter how saintly, capable or honest they may appear. No one. We, Russians, failed in letting…

Something Is Off in Putin’s Inner Circle

A few days ago, an article in the NYT spoke of the Wagner group claiming that it had taken over the town of Soledar in the Donbas area, only to be quickly contradicted by Russia’s defense ministry and Ukraine’s military. The head of the Wagner group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, has also criticized…

When Will The War End?

There is no way of realistically predicting that time but the more relevant question is, how will the war end? I see two main camps at this point. One stating that we should hurry up and look for a deal enabling the contending parties to put down their weapons. Another saying…

Chancellor Scholz. The Leopard Tanks

With the war slowing down because of Winter, the need for tanks has become clearer. Ukraine has the advantage at this time. Just writing these words seems unbelievable. Only 11 months ago, when Putin invaded, no one foresaw that Ukrainians would rise to the task and say to Putin and his…
