It's absolutely just a country like us, the fact that you need to ask a question like this ... Actually it's a very different place. And this seems to be one of the missing pieces of your analysis here.

Mostly they're not being done at scale for the very sensible reason that it is cheaper to replace emitting processes. In other words - they just don't work at present.

Putin has declared very recently he's open to dialogue, but as you may know ... His minimum requirement is permanent recognized sovereignty for the areas he's currently sitting on (and likely then some), as you may know. Do you

"Can be mitigated" -- how, exactly? No one has an answer to that question, at present (in terms of solutions that work at scale, and without unsustainable secondary effects). Which brings us back to the subject of the article -- m

Lots of tit-for-tat here. You were attributing to me views which I haven't expressed. So a correction was provided, which was hopefully helpful to you. In any case it seems we've traded enough notes about historical bloodletti

It sounds you are basically advocating for the Decisive Plan as put forth by the current Minister of Finance. Am I reading you correctly, here? Do you have a sense as to what portion of the non-Arab population in Israel would support such a

I thank what matters now is what the West does now, and in the upcoming years. Other than that we seem to be broadly on the same page. I appreciate your robust counterpoints to the misinformation that gets continually posted here.

I know all about 2014, from people who were there. There was no "crisis" that provided any rational reason for Russia to intervene with force (either at the time, or after Ukraine's failure to "solve" it in subseq

Disagree as to worst case. We just don't know how the Yushchenko government (let alone whoever his successor may have been after 2010) would have handled the situation. And without sufficient time to integrate properly -- the accessio

Germany and France blocked it, indirectly making the war in 2014 and this one possible. Well, that's speculative. If the move had been green-lighted it could have triggered a spontaneous kinetic/punitive action of some sort (as

If you wanted to prevent the invasion of 2022, you should've solved the 2014 crisis diplomatically, the invasion was a result of a failure in doing so. The invasion started in 2014, not 2022. There was no "diplomatic crisis&quot
