I may not have followed the story closely but didn’t grasp how Sam Bankman Fraud related to the Ukraine money laundromat. Loved the line about how BRICS meetings go well because there aren’t any Americans there (I paraphrase).
Ditto. It’s not the first time I heard informed commentators saying that cash was coming out of Ukraine in diplomatic bags. However, this is very reminiscent of Iraq and the US flying in big transport planes with palette loads of cash, which then went … well who knows where.
For me, one of Orlovs’ most interesting points, was the impact on China if the US restricts Chinese imports (virtually no impact), especially as Trump has just confirmed (well, he said it) that he will impose 25% tariff on everything Chinese.
