Sangen om hvordan Rusland under Putin vil underlægge sig den ganske verdensdel, stammer oprindeligt fra Volgograd.

David Heinemeier Hansson har haft stor succes i USA med softwarevirksomheden Basecamp. Nu vil han ændre vores opfattelse af god arbejdskultur. Han kalder møder for giftige, åbne kontorlandskaber for hul i hovedet og fire produktive timer på en arbejdsdag for...

"This player dreamed of sunlight and trees. Of fire and water. It dreamed it created. And it dreamed it destroyed. It dreamed it hunted, and was hunted. It dreamed of shelter. "

Ude i den næsten lige så virkelige verden fortæller forfatteren til ordene, Julian Gough, om hvordan han har levet fra hånden til munden, skrevet gode ting, tittet ind i de riges verden. Er blevet opfordret til underkastelse. Om bølger af raseri og kærlighed. Om ophavsret og udnyttelsesrettigheder..

Vanære forklarer faktisk mange observerede træk godt.

"This is a culture that views acting in good faith as merely the last resort of "psychologically weak" people. It respects only consequences, personal consequences."

Fra anden (og snusket) kant:

"The first thing people ask you is, ‘What do you do? Where are you?’ Everybody in this town has a book deal. In Russia, nobody thinks about that shit! You get together, everybody gets shitfaced, and everyone assumes nobody has anything going on because who does? Nobody.”

From Russia With Lust

Two American journalists, Mark Ames and Matt Taibbi, founded eXile to introduce Hunter S. Thompson?s ?gonzo? style of journalism to 25,000 Moscow readers.

En forrygende god tale, der på 5-10 minutter forklarer hvorfor det er så vigtigt at støtte de stakkles ukrainere.

"So today, I’d like to talk about four reasons why Ukraine matters to all of us.

First, Putin’s war of choice is a direct threat to European security.

Second, Russian aggression is a clear challenge to our NATO allies.

Third, Russia’s deliberate cruelty is an attack on our shared values—and on the rule of law.

And finally, Russia’s invasion tears at the rules-based international order that keeps us all secure.

So our support for Ukraine’s self-defense is an investment in our own security and prosperity as well."

“Why Ukraine Matters” Remarks by Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III at the Halifax International Security Forum (As Delivered)

?Why Ukraine Matters? Remarks by Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III at the Halifax I

Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III delivered the keynote address at the Halifax International Security Forum in Halifax, Canada.

USA har i over 70 år brugt utrolige mængder penge på våbenkapløb med USSR/Rusland. Nu kan man få et fænomenalt svækket Rusland til 5% af årsbudgettet. Det er fantastisk!

Støtten til Ukraine kommer alle vestlige, civliierede log- og orden-lande til gode.

"US spending of 5.6% of its defense budget to destroy nearly half of Russia’s conventional military capability seems like an absolutely incredible investment."

"Meanwhile, replacing destroyed kit, and keeping up with the new arms race that it has now triggered with the West will surely end up bankrupting the Russian economy; especially an economy subject to aggressive Western sanctions."

"Wars are shop windows for defense manufacturers; any buyer in their right mind will want the technology made by the winner. Putin’s misjudgment has merely provided a fantastic marketing opportunity for its Western competitors."

It’s Costing Peanuts for the US to Defeat Russia

The cost-benefit analysis of US support for Ukraine is incontrovertible. It?s producing wins at almost every level.
