Bloomberg publishes an article by the famous historian Neil Ferguson “Any great power that spends more on interest payments on its debts than on defense will very soon cease to be great,” writes Ferguson. He notes that, unlike the first Cold War and the war on terror, the United States does not want to send its soldiers anywhere, limiting itself to the supply of weapons and money.

Thanks to Samuel Charap and Sergey Radchenko, we know now that, when their invasion was going badly in early 2022, the Russians were ready to negotiate a peace deal with Ukraine.

Straight up historical revisionism. Shameless yet not surprising. After all they memory-holed all those reports on Nazis in Ukraine after 2021 and the SMO happened and called anyone who claimed as much a Russian disinfo agent.
