The most important news:

On Friday there was a showdown in the United Nations Security Council. Russia of course vetoed a formal denunciation of the invasion of Ukraine. The real surprise, however, came when the countries of China, India, and the United Arab Emirates abstained from the vote, with the remaining 11 council members voting in favor.

China, India, and UAE represent an outsized chunk of the global economy and their abstention strongly suggests that it won't be so easy to gain global adherence to a strong Washington and EU-led sanctions regimen.

The only thing missing was how much money was channeled from the Ukraine into US politics. And how many elite family members had Ukrainian investments / jobs. Hunter Biden was mentioned, but there are more. Mitt Romney’s 2012 national security advisor was on the Burisema board with Hunter Biden. Manafort for gop. Podestra brothers. Pelosi son. John Kerry’s step son.
