And these power lines into the EU are very easy to disrupt and disrupt again after repairs.

Not enough sanctions. More are needed.
Anemic as it is it’s even fake growth. See https://surplusenergyeconomics.wordpress.com/ for some more real world-relevant metrics.
Too bad Iris production is unaffected.
Nah. He’s that Youtube dude.
Funny they don’t mention the reasons for the deficit in Suomi: anti-russian sanctions.
So what is the authors’ suggestion Europe should do instead to feed its population? Farming is not globally competitive either. Advanced technology and services no longer viable. Tourism ditto.
I mean, I know there is no solution, but I’d rather see someone spell it out in print.

Sanctions are working.
2% of GDP is a minimum ask for spending for NATO members. It looks small, but 2% of GDP is 20% of the annual budget which is not elastic, unless you consider the bulk which is social spending omittable. The general public will soon convince you it’s not.
Coordinated anything doesn’t work because modern wars are about infrastructure and logistics. Hence the 2% per member scaling.
2% of GDP is about 20% of the annual budget, which is not sustainable these days. 3% is ludicrous.
In Germany you can register as a conscientous objector to military service. Students are also exempt for the duration. As an option of last resort, emigration.
The question is what kind of defense the EU can afford.
Minus London the average UK wealth is below that of Mississippi. The poorest US state.

If it’s not Covid-19 it’s Russia’s “unprovoked attack”.
Actually it’s a systemic crisis, which is not solvable in principle. UK is just somewhat ahead of the rest on the way down.
She’s definitely the right person to lose the war. She has a professional track record of screwing things up.
The sanctions are working. We need more of them.
The only threat from Russia is a mirror response to the threat from NATO. It’s good that professional soldiers understand the role they are expected to play and are opting out.
You seem to trust Nvidia. I don’t.
