Russia finally crushes resistance at Mariupol, but is mostly focused on the blame game for its failures. In the US means the left has jumped onto a terrible shooting as a tool to associate their opponents with actual neo-nazism. Australia is imminently to head to the polls – in an election that has been avoiding the topic the voters say they most care about. And in this week’s short thought, I

Putin cuts off the gas

Mallen Baker: Faultlines ·

2022/04/29
