A German embargo on Russian energy would obviously hurt Germany, but it would hurt Russia MUCH more, hindering Putin's ability to wage war. Our current forecast is for Russian GDP to fall -30% by end-2022. An embargo would see an even bigger fall, possibly in excess of -40%...

I-81 IS OFFICIALLY DONE! The I-81 viaduct that has divided Syracuse for decades is officially coming down! A boulevard will take it's place and will not only stitch the grid back together, but also begin an important healing process for the city.

Classic Gerasimov doctrine, these planes were obviously blown up on purpose by Russian forces to confuse and bewilder the Ukrainian enemy.

@McFaul It’s the oil and gas revenue that gives the Kremlin the hard currency. While western companies leaving shows commitment to principles over profit if oil and gas funds can’t be cut then Putin continues to fund his war. It’s hard, but it’s necessary to stop the war.

Baltimore is the worst. These people want to maintain a six lane highway around a park so try can drive 50 and save 30 seconds on their commute.

Lexington market remains undefeated capitalism. Park 9 am. Woman comes up to me w cart selling cans of beer and wine, single cigarettes, and cigars. Not interested. Okay, she’s got ravens gear she’s selling. Still not interested. Pulls out iPad with full inventory of car parts.

Fitting that my grandmother passed on Ash Wednesday. A devout Catholic to the end. May she rest in peace. All go to one place. All are from the dust, and to dust all return.

The “historic neighborhood” is a giant open parking lot next to under leased commercial properties at a light rail station. This might win a NIMBY award.

I mean… you could just not run red lights… Here the Senator is trying to play the race card when data for speed camera show that it’s people who live outside the city who use the streets as speedways. Many cameras are at intersections where accidents frequently occur.

This is the thing. Putin really believes that the color revolutions were all at the hand of the west. Spontaneous demonstrations for human dignity and right’s can’t happen. It’s a sick and demented view of humanity but I firmly believe that this is how he sees people.

In a sign of how the Kremlin believes spontaneous public outbursts are impossible, you couldn't even buy tickets for this concert. Per Russian media, state employees and students were paid or forced to go. They shut the doors to stop them leaving before Putin's speech at the end

Someone please tell @LulaOficial that Ukraine has laid out it’s terms for peace very clearly - Russia should remove itself from its territory and respect its borders and sovereignty as it has agreed to do through many treaties over many decades.

This is painfully disingenuous. We need to be patient with Russia but the US should stop incentivising war… If this is what non-aligned looks like, it’s a non-starter.
