The scariest moment in the Ukraine War – Zelensky might be smarter than we think

The Father of Ukrainian Democracy visited God Emperor Biden yesterday, and the meeting reminded me of the time Maria and I took a trip to
Saint Petersburg last Summer. Saint Petersburg is possibly the biggest tourist trap in all of Russia, and that presents certain dangers to unsuspecting foreigners. Her streets are full of clowns, seemingly harmless street performers who are actually on the prowl for gullible tourists with more rubles than sense. I cannot confirm or deny if I was swindled, but God Emperor Biden certainly was.

Oil Price Cap: The British Are Prepared to Fight to the Last Prussian (Again)

Tomorrow, the “free world’s” price cap on Russian oil is set to begin. This reminds me of another historical event. On 9 October, 1806, Prussia declared hostilities against France, and so began the War of the Fourth Coalition. Absolutely confident in their martial abilities, Prussian officers gloatingly sharpened their swords on the steps of the French embassy in Berlin. Napoleon crushed the Prussian army in less than a week. On 27 October, he captured Berlin, and then paraded surviving Prussian officers past the embassy they had mocked. There’s an obvious moral lesson here about not being overconfident, but today I want to talk about WHY the Prussians up as cannon fodder against Napoleon.
