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 BhagatMarc Andreessen Is A Dud When It Comes To Politics
I have read some lucid lucid essays by Marc Andreessen on topics in tech. Here is but one example, Marc talking Bitcoin back in 2014. In a two-party democracy, the choice is binary and we all make mistakes. You have a democratic right to vote for, vouch for one of the two candidates. I get that. But Trump is different. And if you are still pining for him a full year after January 6 (Bin Laden's Fantasy, Trump's Reality) I am going to be suspicious. I understand differences in opinio...
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...

I am no military expert, and I defer to military experts on the specifics, like the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense that makes specific asks on Twitter.

My expertise is getting people out into the streets of Moscow. But this military angle is unavoidable. And I see the political aspects of it. This is what I see.
Putin is not trying to liberate anybody. Pay attention. He is busy destroying Donbas. He does not speak for the ethnic Russians in Moscow. Hell, he does not speak for the ethnic Russians in Donbas.
Feed him your finger, he will eat your hand. That is the nature of the beast. If you want peace in Estonia, fight in Donbas. And if you can’t then support the good people who are putting up the good fight. Ukraine fights for the world.
Putin is in survival mode in Donbas. He gets pushed out of Donbas, his regime collapses in Moscow. That is what this is about. A military invasion of Moscow was unthinkable. But a military engagement in Donbas is our daily reality right now. The enemy has made a mistake. The enemy is in Donbas.
If the Ukrainian military can push the Russian forces out of Donbas, fine. If that is not an option, all it needs to do is keep contesting the territory. Because Putin is getting weaker by the day. Time is not his friend.
Navalny depends on the brave people of Ukraine. The Russian Mandela looks to the brave people of Ukraine. The war in Donbas is about liberating Moscow.
