Paramendra BhagatAmazon Was Web 1
Amazon was a bookstore. But it was not Barnes & Noble digitized. You still got physical books in the mail. What was amazing was the largeness of the offering that simply was not possible in any physical store. This was new. Amazon was launched at a time when you had to be patient and a photo would download. Now Amazon is an everything store. It even sells movies. In fact, it has become a behemoth to disrupt. Web 3 wants to disrupt Amazon, and Google, and Facebook, and Microsoft, and Apple. Ye...
Paramendra BhagatDefeating Putin In Donbas Is The Cheap, Easy Option
As I follow Zelensky in this war, I am constantly reminded of this book I read just a few months ago. At that time there was no inkling of Putin’s invasion. I read the book because I am perennially interested in Abraham Lincoln’s life and work. Lincoln was not even a soldier. It was not a war he had chosen. He became a student of war in the White House. And because his instincts were right, and he stood on the side of justice and liberty, he seems to have made all sorts of right war moves. If...
Paramendra BhagatTo Seek Only A Military Solution Is Dangerous
In eastern Ukraine, to seek only a military solution is dangerous. I admire the work of military strategists, intelligence officials, and governments who have stepped into supplying the needed hardware. Most of all I admire the brave men and women of the Ukrainian military who make the ultimate sacrifice daily. But we can never lose sight of the larger purpose and the higher ground. Ultimately this is about peace, liberty, and justice. Eisenhower warned of the “military-industrial complex.” H...

It is not a political requirement that the Ukrainian military pushes the Russian forces out of Donbas. If they don’t want to do it, if they can not do it, that is not a problem. The only requirement is that they keep contesting the territory. Because the economic sanctions have to continue and further tightened. And that is an unfair arrangement for the ordinary people in Russia. I don’t blame them for Putin any more than I blame the dinosaurs for the asteroid. Putin has been imposed upon them time and again. Putin they have not chosen.
Putin recently said he is not going to use a nuclear weapon in Ukraine. That means he is thinking about it. The KGB taught him to look in your face and lie. There are videos on YouTube that show how exactly he does it. There is a video from when he was Deputy Mayor of Leningrad. He looks at the camera and says to the people, this money we are raising will only be used to buy food for you. He collects the money and moves to Moscow.
So let’s assume he will drop a bomb somewhere in Ukraine. A retaliatory bomb drop is not going to be an option. But that has to draw an iron curtain around Russia. At that point it is either you are with us or against us. No country that will still do any kind of business with Russia should be allowed to do any kind of business with the US and the West. The economic sanction has to be total and complete.
But if you only have a military strategy, if you only have an economic sanctions strategy, you have no strategy at all. My strategy is to topple Putin in Moscow, with or without any military strategy, with or without economic sanctions.
