Full support to Milwaukee Bucks for deciding to boycott today’s playoff game.
“We keep loving this country, and this country does not love us back.”
-@LAClippers Coach @DocRivers
NBA was dead wrong (and hypocritical) on Hong Kong, Uighurs and China.

The league’s gotten it right today. They have a voice. I’m glad they are using it.
What’s the difference between the NBA getting it right today and getting it wrong on China?

The players.

Management required everyone toe the line—or else—on Beijing.

The players took the lead today, and mgmt was wise to follow.
Milwaukee Brewers have joined them. 👏

is the united states to blame for russia's invasion of ukraine? jeffrey sachs thinks so

let's debunk this claim (echoed by the kremlin, tucker carlson, elon musk, and the chinese) once and for all.

here are the facts:
gzeromedia.com/no-the-us-didn…
don’t listen to anyone that says the united states, nato, or ukraine did anything to cause russia to launch a war of aggression against its neighbor

putin chose to do this
the responsibility lies with him, and him alone
gzeromedia.com/no-the-us-didn…
the west did however miss critical opportunities to make putin’s decision less likely

there was no ‘marshall plan for russia’ post-soviet union collapse,
& the west failed to respond forcefully to putin’s acts of aggression before the full scale invasion

time is on ukraine’s side if you believe:

- us/eu will keep guns and $$ flowing
- ukraine will continue to outperform russia militarily
- sanctions will hobble russia's economy and blunt the war effort
