  • I think the idea is just to keep Ukraine standing. If the army makes it through the summer without collapsing then this continues into 2025.

    Obviously $60 bn isn’t enough for Ukraine to win but if we assume the west doesn’t care if Ukraine wins they just want to make sure Russia bleeds then $60 bn is enough to maintain a life-support level of artillery shells and to equip another 500,000 undertrained conscripts with basic kit.

    Didn’t Ukraine just ram through conscription changes? Just before this got approved? I think that indicates it was a precondition. The west wont send in really heavy stuff but will arm another meat wall.

    At this point, without direct nato involvement, the best Ukraine can really hope for is to keep Odessa.








  • He seems weirdly hyper fixated on crypto and Ponzi schemes.

    I don’t think he is using “ponzi scheme” as an analogy here. I think he literally thinks gross inequality is a product of Ponzi schemes.

    Like, he views this as somehow a hack in the game rather than being literally what the game is.

    And he views the elites as a shadowy cabal rather than an economic class with aligned self-interest.

    I like a good conspiracy theory and sure there are indeed some cabals with outsized power and even some shady Epstein-Clinton shit and the weird cult of creepy transfuturist investment banker / child sex ring that built around MIT etc there’s a lot of wild shit that I think is basically true but I think it betrays him as fundamentally believing that the game should be fair if only we make everyone play by the rules rather than him believing the rules of the game themselves need to change.

    Which makes him a lib who went down the trueanon rabbit hole without ever coming to understand the deep state and elite power structures as a product of class loyalty more than anything else.
