Dear CCI Friends,
The threat of Russia attacking Ukraine is beginning to unravel. Russian troops are on their side of the border to send a strong message. NATO and the United States are now being checkmated by France, Germany and other European countries that need international trade to continue.
The day before the article below appeared, I was sitting in my St. Petersburg flat interviewing Dmitri Orlov, an internationally known critic of both Russia and U.S. policy.
Orlov totally rejected the notion that war would break out and gave logical reasons why.
We can breathe more easily now that the situation is becoming clearer. Did Biden not know the reality of the situation? Who was giving his handlers information? Asking questions earlier could avoid a period like this in the future.
