In case you missed it — The last holdout, Turkey, has ratified Finland joining NATO

Turkey approves Finland Nato membership bid

Next up: finalizing Sweden's accession to NATO.

Putin's illegal invasion of  Ukraine isn't working out the way he expected.  At all.
And for those who know their history, here's a nice tweak at Russia today.

If the future world order is one of lopsided multipolarity and if such orders are more war-prone, then there is some reason to worry. But multipolarity might not be that bad for the United States, provided it recognizes the implications and adjusts its foreign policy appropriately.

For starters, let’s recognize that unipolarity wasn’t that great for the United States, and especially not for those unfortunate countries that got the brunt of U.S. attention in recent decades. The unipolar era included the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, two expensive and ultimately unsuccessful U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, some ill-advised regime changes that led to failed states, a financial crisis that altered U.S. domestic politics dramatically, and the emergence of an increasingly ambitious China whose rise was partly facilitated by the United States’ own actions. But the United States hasn’t learned much from the experience, given that it is still listening to the strategic geniuses whose actions squandered Washington’s Cold War triumph and hastened unipolarity’s end. The only restraint on a unipolar power’s actions is self-restraint, and self-restraint is not something a crusader nation such as the United States does very well.

Have you heard this yet?
What happens when communism breaks out in Russia? - Nothing for a long time, and then corpses run out.

No, really!

Turns out:
In Russia, you can't donate your corpse to science so easily. Physicians are trained on imported bodies, often from the United States. But now there are trade sanctions and imported bodies are in short supply.

You can't make this up! 

For those who don't know the reference, iIt's an old joke from the Cold War.
What happens when communism breaks out in the Sahara? Nothing for a long time, then the sand becomes scarce. *tush*

Synder's contribution here is absolutely marvellous. 

Also worthy to note China's complete deafness to Synder's main point. 

The concluding remarks (from about 2:00:00 onwards) are fantastic. The Russian delegation basically has no response, mumbling, we'll find a way to get back to you later.
