Veterans Going to Ukraine?

NANMYKEL.COM

“Sanctions can help, but sanctions can’t help right now, and people need help right now,” said a former U.S. Marine, one of a surge of American veterans who say they are now preparing to join the fight in Ukraine, emboldened by the invitation of the country’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, who earlier this week announced he was creating an “international legion” and asked volunteers from around the world to help defend his nation against Russia.

As Dave Philipps reported in the March 5 nytimes,  the risk of unintended escalation has led the U.S. federal government to try to keep citizens from becoming freelance fighters, not just in this conflict, but for centuries…

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

(Originally posted in2020, but still pertinent, if not more, today:)

Back when I lived in Izmir, I walked everywhere. Izmir does have a good bus system, btw, with a convenient Kent Cart system, like London’s Oyster card and DC’s SmarTrip card. Yet, some days, I just preferred to walk.

Yet, good Public Transit is crucial for those who cannot walk (and remember that increasingly large parts of even the American population are aging out of the ability to drive safely.  Note that I did not say the ability to drive, but the ability to do so safely…)

Short story: glad I smiled at someone I did not know -who thanked me, and made me grateful to be alive, back in 2005. And also today.

Less short version of the story:
Ok, so after a useless day yesterday of only 1100 words written, and desperate fears of 8 more…

China’s Russia Problem – The New York Times

China is trying to shape and lead the existing world order. “It benefits enormously from international stability,” Fareed Zakaria, the foreign-policy journalist, has pointed out. As The Times’s Thomas Friedman wrote, “Peace has been very good for China.”

Russia is both weaker and less satisfied with the recent developments. “Putin may dream of restoring Soviet-era greatness,” Paul Krugman wrote yesterday, “but China’s economy, which was roughly the same size as Russia’s 30 years ago, is now 10 times as large.” Today, Russia’s economy largely revolves around energy exports, giving it an incentive to foment political instability; oil prices often go up when the world is unstable.

“Putin is sort of an arsonist of the system,” Hass said. “China’s interests are not advanced by that.”

Pennsylvania man pleads guilty to threatening to murder Democratic senators | TheHill

A Pennsylvania man on Monday pleaded guilty to threatening to murder Democratic senators.

Kenelm Shirk was indicted by a grand jury in February 2021 on a charge of making terroristic threats.

He was driving to Washington, D.C., in January 2021 when Pennsylvania State Police stopped him. Authorities recovered several firearms and a large amount of ammunition in a search of his vehicle, according to a statement from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania. He was taken into custody and charged with making terroristic threats.

In February 2021, a federal grand jury indicted him for “threatening to murder members of the United States Senate,” according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Authorities alleged that Shirk “made threats to murder Democratic members of the United States Senate.”

Shirk initially pleaded not guilty to the charge in February 2021, but changed his plea on Monday, according to Fox 43.

U.S. Attorney John Gurganus said Shirk’s effort was linked to retaliation against senators who voted to certify the results of the 2020 presidential election on Jan. 6, 2021,  ABC 27 News reported.
