Very useful Explainer by ⁦@EURACTIV⁩ on the long, arduous & decade+ process for #EU membership for #Ukraine. And even for the #UK if it wanted to reverse #Brexit. Which ironically was partially engineered by #Putin. Must read for process wonks. https://kyivindependent.com/hot-topic/explainer-when-can-ukraine-get-eu-membership/

+1 @pmarca. & Gabler’s “An Empire of Their Own” (1988), Hollywood creating fantasy version of USA. Also “Amusing Ourselves to Death”, by Neil Postman. Life is a blend of Huxley AND Orwell, our addiction to amusement, (Stories & TikTok/Reels) & tribal (quasi-state) brainwashing. https://twitter.com/pmarca/status/1501965159325061130

Worked before in Berlin 1948-49. Could work here, even as a proposal. World could rally around. And it’s not a ‘No Fly Zone’: “An Airlift Could Save #Ukraine by Douglas J. Feith and John Hannah”. #Russia #PutinsWar https://t.co/XGY3XJU85s
