A brilliant piece from the former Chief Economist of the World bank,

Rather useful to read in these times.

An important thread of how the West enforced and solidified occupation in Latvia (and Estonia as well) after independence.
I can't quite imagine the allies in WW2 forcing Norway or the Netherlands to settle Nazi troops on their soil.

I worry about the quality of instruction at
https://nitter.privacydev.net/collegeofeurope
if it employs lecturers such as
https://nitter.privacydev.net/alemannoEU

“Iran’s air fleet is a metaphor for the regime as a whole,” said Ali Ansari, founder of the Institute of Iranian Studies at the University of St Andrews. “It’s old, should not be able to keep flying, and yet does — until it doesn’t.”
