North Korea has supplied russia with over 12 million 152mm artillery shells, according to South Korean intelligence. This shipment involved approximately 28,000 containers filled with weapons and munitions.

2/ Without this supply, russia would not have been able to sustain the war at such intensity. At certain points last year, russian units relied almost entirely on North Korean munitions — in some cases, up to 100%.
3/ Meanwhile, the entire collective West — the US, EU, and all NATO countries combined — have not even managed to supply Ukraine with half of that.

Why do I continue to talk about russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine?

People tell me I should post less about the war and focus more on “professional” topics — economics, science, leadership. After all, I’m an economist, recognized by Forbes as a Top Economic Thinker.

1/n Image
2/ First, to those people: I would never want to have anything in common with you. If you think profession or business is more important than human life, we do not share the same values. Please, find a different place to engage. We have nothing in common.
3/ Second, I would love to create more content on economics and education. I still try to, whenever I can. But it is hard to focus on abstract ideas when 40 million people are fighting for their very existence.

A Lesson from the Russian history

Why Russian society often appears passive and submissive to authority. Why do they have no voice? Some attribute it to fear or systemic repression — and that’s partly true. But a deeper question is: how did it get this way?

1/n Image
2/ The truth lies in centuries of historical development. Unlike Western Europe, which gradually evolved through stages of agriculture, industrialization, and the rise of individual rights, large parts of Russia were geographically isolated and politically centralized.
3/ As a result, many democratic and humanistic ideals never took root.

Trump may activate drawdown powers for the first time in his current term to approve military aid to Ukraine, according to Reuters.

1/n Image
2/ The new package — worth around $300 million — may include Patriot missile systems and medium-range guided rockets, exactly the kind of weapons Ukraine urgently needs to defend its cities from russian attacks.
3/ The aid would come directly from Pentagon stockpiles under Presidential Drawdown Authority, meaning it could be delivered much faster than new purchases. A final decision on the exact equipment list is expected at a meeting on Thursday.

A sobering analysis of Russia’s next move.

Russia will not wait for Europe to prepare for a potential strike. The European idea that Russia might attack around 2030, giving time to rearm, is misguided.

1/n Image
2/ The most effective time to strike is when Europe is least prepared — and a Russian attack is quite possible before the end of this year.
3/ First question: Where to strike?

The Baltic states are often seen as the easiest first targets — they’re small, and U.S. intervention is very unlikely.

Imagine this: a Kremlin-linked figure in charge of hiring every top U.S. official. Sounds like a conspiracy theory? Not anymore.

Meet Sergio Gor — Trump’s head of presidential personnel, tasked with selecting and vetting 4,000 political appointees across the US government.

1/n Image
2/ There’s just one problem: he’s never been vetted himself.

According to a New York Post investigation, Gor never submitted the basic SF-86 security clearance form — the same form every unpaid White House intern is required to complete.
3/ No background check. No vetting. Just an “interim clearance” and Trump’s trust.

Gor claimed he was born in Malta. But Maltese officials said there was no record of his birth. Locals who knew him called him “the Russian boy.”

Russia is crumbling.

Putin is terrified — and he’s turning on his own elites.

Panic is spreading among Moscow’s top circles as Putin begins to target oligarchs and high-ranking officials.

2/ One of russia’s richest men, gold magnate Konstantin Strukov, was blocked from fleeing the country. His private jet was grounded, and a court ordered his entire empire to be “nationalized.” A loyalist yesterday — a target today. Image
3/ At the same time, russian Transport Minister Roman Starovoit was found dead in his car — officially ruled a suicide — on the exact day he was dismissed from his post. A longtime insider, his sudden death has already sparked widespread speculation in russia. Image
