The playbook won’t be identical, but it will be similar. It’s pretty clear China may have to carry Russia economically, and that is something they really don’t want to do. At this point, we’ll be up against a much weaker Russia. We were up against China prior to this anyway. Now the west is much more clear eyed.
The afghan withdrawal, while certainly influenced by public support, was about a LOT more than that. I have no problem with journalists, particularly when they are actually investigating news. Setting aside whether they should consider themselves "information warriors" (which is actually a pretty thorny question), what I do have a problem with is the ones that think they've "won" something by virtue of flaming someone on twitter. Which is 80% of the people I go up and down the elevator with every day.
A fair take, certainly. What I worry about is whether, in a "more" bipolar world, the stakes (and therefore the risks) will be raised in a way that tends toward greater proxy violence.
only a little bit to go before we reach the 1983 yen:dollar rate!!!!
CNBC is a good source of actual levelheaded news. I like their nightly news cast since they got reset. CNN, MSNBC, FOX and most of the rest are trash. CNN has done a remarkably good job of covering the war in Ukraine. 80% of the rest of their coverage is gas lighting trash. I'm not referring to print. What others are there on TV that are NOT ridiculously partisan?
He just says that because he doesn't like to be confronted with uncomfortable truths that undermine his myopic world-view.
WTF are you blabbering about now. You got the wrong target to spatting that shit about.
Any channel that sent people east of Lviv is legit with me. BBC, Sky, and CNN all had crews that were shot at.
Should rename the Ruble. Rubbish
Your statement "journalism is trash right now" is overly broad, inaccurate and indicates your close-mindedness.
I think all of those have done a good job of coverage. For sure. They should ALL stick to actual news coverage. They have done an excellent job in Ukraine.
Am I reading that correctly as something like 145 rubles to the dollar?
TV is a wasteland, and I long for the day when someone at least takes the risk of testing the market to see if there's an appetite for a channel where the on screen personalities are happy being newspersons rather than aspiring to be columnists. You know, the way CNN used to be when Amanpour was a mere war slut.

1 Ruble is .00743 dollars. At this point the paper it is printed on is probably worth more than the actual currency.
mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. That was only 150 pages ago. I should have remembered.This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...
Am I wrong for thinking the next 48 hours are going to decide this thing? Seems like the make or break for Russia.
There is no questioning which side is evil here. First "Good War" since WWII.
Correct, because you are media literate and smart enough to evaluate platforms and outlets with an open mind. Unlike some others posting in this thread.
Welp. Add another theater to ww3. Figured Taiwan was next.
Japan kicked their ass real good the first time they tangled with Russia. Lots of parallels with Ukraine conflict, actually -- Russia thought they were vastly superior and would roll. Japan had other ideas.
So do the changes include not putting mines on the corridors?
So-let's talk about the great equalizer on the last row. The only thing holding Russia back from being ****ing ass kicked back to the stone age.

Putin has been a real genius.
