RT @pietgaricano: one of the most astonishing books i've ever read.

on the soviet-afghan war; the tragic, the farcial and the cruelty of young people forced to fight a senseless war for a rotten empire

Russia will not negotiate if it thinks it can win or, at least, freeze the conflict. Excellent thread by @davidfrum.
RT @davidfrum: The way to get to negotiations is, therefore, to arm Ukraine to the point where Russian leaders fear defeat.

The way to thwart negotiations is to withhold arms from Ukraine and leave Russia's leaders with hope they can preserve the status quo. 10/x

RT @thorstenbenner: US administration sources make public via @sz that Llyod Austin had "fierce exchange of words" with head of chancellory @W_Schmidt_ & that Sullivan "read riot act" to Scholz' national security advisor Plötner for putting conditions on Leopard transfer.

RT @Fuco_LoresInsua: @lugaricano @TimHarford @FT Así es, España lleva ya unos cuantos lustros con TFP estancada. En este artículo ponemos nuestro grano de arena en el intento por comprender las causas. Además encontramos inquietantes similitudes con la segunda mitad del siglo XIX.

Toda la discusión en España es sobre distribución, como si asumiéramos que la tarta no va a crecer más, que no hay nada que hacer.

Sería maravilloso que en este año electoral la discusión de política económica cambiara de parámetros, y fuera sobre cómo volvemos a crecer.

Spain/UK a tale of two twins.
Historia de dos economías gemelas desde 2007

Comparado con el nivel del debate en el RU (ver a @TimHarford hoy en el @FT), sorprende la falta de debate en España sobre el estancamiento de nuestra economía.
1) PIB per capita: estancados en 2007.

Excellent, depressing piece on the UK economy.
RT @TimHarford: It is the scene in the rear-view mirror that is truly horrifying. The British economy is in a generation-long slough of despond, a slow-burning economic catastrophe.

RT @ATabarrok: This is completely insane.

The LHC has stopped publishing physics papers.

"The reason: a lack of agreement on how to list Russian and Belarusian scientists and institutes, if at all. The temporary compromise, in place up to now, is not to publish."
