Buen hilo y análisis (ligado abajo) de @Suanzes sobre el peligroso momento para Europa.
RT @Suanzes: Sostiene Ivan Krastev, uno de los analistas más finos de la realidad continental, que los próximos seis meses van a ser probablemente los más duros en la historia de la UE. La reacción ante la invasión de Ucrania ha sorprendido a casi todo el mundo por su celeridad, su pegada…
RT @lugaricano: Hoy me siento avergonzado de ser Europeo.
Mientras los ucranianos mueren bajo el Terror de Putin, subsidiado con 100,000 millones de compras europeas, Europa se esconde detrás de los EEUU a la hora de dar apoyo humanitario y militar a Ucrania. Nuevos datos de @kielinstitute

Today, I feel ashamed of being European.
As Ukrainians die under the terror attacks of Putin, subsidized to the tune of over $100 bn. by EU fossile- fuel purchases, the EU continues to free ride on US help to Ukraine. New data http://ifw-kiel.de support tracker @Ch_Trebesch
RT @Ch_Trebesch: 📢7th Update of the Ukraine Tracker. Highlights: 1) In Aug and Sept, the US promised large new aid, Europe promised almost nothing new, see below. 2) On heavy weapons we have a new ranking. Some governments donated >30% of their howitzers, MRLs or tanks to UKR, most pledged none.
RT @Ch_Trebesch: But the outlook for German help is unclear. The draft budget of 2023 does NOT specify Ukraine aid. Apparently, financial aid to UKR was cut to zero in 23 (see pic). Funds for weapon support of allies (Ertüchtigungshilfe) were cut from €2bn in 22 to €697m https://dserver.bundestag.de/btd/20/031/2003100.pdf
RT @GeorgZachmann: @christianbaye13 @lugaricano With @jzettelmeyer and @Tagliapietra_S we today propose that support to big industrial players might be better Europeanized to avoid unproductive subsidy races:

RT @armin_steinbach: @lugaricano German govnmt will push @EU_Commission to revise state aid rules to make the German approach lawful (as it did under COvid-19 state aid)
Great thread on how Bernanke,'s depth of knowledge and understanding of the Depression helped him shape the response to the financial crisis, avoiding what could have been, without him another great depression.
RT @greg_ip: 1/ I wrote about Ben Bernanke's Nobel today. https://t.co/VlSoGKWibM I have followed him since he joined the Fed in 2002. Bernanke had a rare combination of intellectual heft and accessibility. Every paper had a …
Russia needs to be expelled from the UN security council.

RT @shashj: The most absurd of false equivalences. The Kerch bridge was a major logistics artillery for Russia's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine including its eight year occupation of Crimea. The strikes today were on range of critical infrastructure—water & power—some hitting roads & parks.
Es muy fácil parar esta guerra: el agresor debe parar su agresión. Estos ataques a cientos de kilómetros de cualquier objetivo militar, sin otro propósito que el terror, son terrorismo.
RT @Andrew__Roth: Russian missile impact right by the walls of Taras Shevchenko university in Kyiv as students are going to class on a Monday morning.
RIP BRIC
RT @JeremyCliffe: In the mid-2000s it seemed the BRIC economies would sweep all before them. But consider them now:
Brazil - economy stagnant, democracy strained
Russia - imperialist kleptocracy verging on collapse
India - economy & global role have disappointed
China - rapid rise now spluttering
Must read thread on the evolution of the literature behind the Nobel.
RT @gchodorowreich: Huge congratulations to a much-deserved prize. Work by @benbernanke on the Great Depression was a major motivation to my own research. And I teach Diamond-Dybvig in intermediate macro every year. A short thread on the scientific citation.

A member of the German Gas Commission explains a proposal with two objectives: cushion blow on families but keep the incentives to reduce consumption.
The result is a good proposal for Germany.Only one issue @christianbaye13 did you think about internal (EU) market implications?

If someone had told me before 2022 about the depth of the Russo-German "friendship" I would not have believed it. All hugely damaging to Germany's standing in the European Union.
