Very interesting thread.
Anecdotal, at this stage, but hopefully there will be a scientific study on chronic brain impact (damage) due to covid. (Brain fog, cognitive disorders, increased aggression, etc)

Another exhausting round of "Ukraine can't win" from people who clearly are not watching the same war as I am. Ukraine can win, as long as it continues to receive heavy weaponry, continues outsourcing its war economy to the West, and crippling economic sanctions on Russia remain.

“A defeated former president who was at the center of a failed coup allegedly walks out the door with nuclear secrets, refuses to give them back and then leaves a creepy, semi-threatening message for the attorney general — that’s apparently where we are.”

Ukraine’s remarkably resilient response to Russia’s invasion has served to highlight how far the country has come in its nation-building journey since the chaotic early years of the post-Soviet era, writes Anders Åslund (@anders_aslund)

Serbia is helping Russia beat sanctions - why is the EU not doing more to prevent this?
Are you a Western company that can’t work in Russia because of sanctions? No worries, you can evade sanctions via Serbia.
Between 30,000 & 50,000 Russians have moved to Serbia. And more than 1,000 companies have registered…most of them in the IT sector. dw.com/en/russians-are-incre…

In June, a MAGA lawyer signed a written document in June telling the Justice Department that all classified material held at Mar-a-Lago had all been returned.
