Asian investors flock to Gulf debt in hunt for yield and growth
Asian investors are piling into Gulf bonds and loans this year, reflecting both deepening trade and finance ties with the fast-growing region and an uncertain outlook elsewhere, including the world's top two economies, the United States and China.

In some ways this is a useful reminder that a lot of the talk of European security guarantees to Ukraine have the whole thing backwards. For more than three years Ukraine has been guaranteeing European security by fighting and degrading the Russian armed forces.

How long Britain could really fight for if war broke out tomorrow
In the event of a war, one expert suggests the British Army could be incapable of fighting effectively on land within weeks, once committed - though 'much depends on the form of the conflict'.

Zohran’s messaging would be better if it was more catered to me, a notably mercurial and unreliable coalition partner

It's one of the first things the Ukrainians wanted (because of how long it would take) and Biden and co. rebuffed it because mwah escalation
I think one of the biggest mistakes we (the west) made was not spinning up Ukraine on tacair sooner.
After nearly 4 years of war, they would absolutely have a very capable conventional air capability if we devoted the energy early on.
My lesson learned: go big early in defense of Democracy.

Tradable future on CEO accident would be a logical extension that this guy did not consider but probably should have

i think social media in and of itself probably has been catastrophic for such movements, both because it exposes people intimately to them (who wouldn’t otherwise see them)….but also because it mitigates against such movements becoming competent
