#1 Ukrainian and Russian negotiators are now arriving in the upscale Turkish resort of Antalya for peace talks. To recap: Zelensky announced one year ago he would take back Crimea and capture the crucial base at Sevastopol. Going into the peace talks he has already abandoned that goal, renounced all desire to join NATO and acquiesced in Russia's control of the Donbas.

The main question to be discussed is the terms of Ukraine's capitulation, including the key question of which nation will give refuge to Zelensky in his exile. He wants Poland, but almost certainly he will have to leave Europe, with Israel, home to dozens of Russian and Ukrainian oligarchs, a strong contender.

#2 Jimmy and journalist Glenn Greenwald discuss the question, pointing to the misinformation surrounding the 2001 anthrax attacks to suggest that there may be more going on in the Ukrainian biolabs than the US government is prepared to acknowledge.

Absolute rubbish! More conspiracy theories. The lab closures begun 17 years ago were nearing completion. Our top men are not it.

#3 Ah, but will Russia and Putin survive afterward? As an independent regional power, I mean, rather than a dependent of China.

#8 Dummy, your Russian warehouses are running out of food stocks. Your leaders are stuffing the retail markets even as prices rise several times for the good food (imports), hoping the invasion was short. When it runs out, poof, no more.

Russia is isolated and Russian money is worthless. Hope you like bread and borscht for the next 30 years.

#13 described the teenaged volunteers as a somewhat ragtag band wearing ill-fitting knee pads and, in one case, carrying a yoga mat
but are they wearing covid face diapers?

#14  There's always kasha.

I lived on kasha in university, because my scholarship didn’t cover the meal plan. Made with a can of Campbell’s chicken noodle soup and an egg, with a glass of milk and an apple for dessert, I had most of my dietary needs met in one meal.

A good question. It depends on who gets the majority in Congress this November, and who is elected president in 2024. Let’s all watch together, and see which culture handles economic challenges better. It’s my understanding that the Russian government was carrying an impressively low level of debt before this started, but despite the talents and frequent intellectual brilliance of the Russian people, the economy is highly dependent on raw material wealth rather than being well-diversified. So each economy has advantages and disadvantages — this is a wonderful opportunity for a real life experiment. :-)

#17 Americans quoted in the NYT article. Stick it to those Americans, Joe!

“As everything goes up in price, my savings diminish.”
“Everything is going up, but our wages are not.”
“Hard to not call it price gouging. Everything has gone up with no end in sight.”
“Everything is on the rise except for my pay. Makes living hard.”
