Putin and Russia's shift in Ukraine policy with the impact of capital flight, western sanctions and a sharp slowdown in the economy by July 2014
07/11/2014
Polls show 66% of the Russian public opposes Russian forces going into Ukrainian territory. The rhetoric on Russian television has been toned down and Russian analysts say intervention in Ukraine would have dangerous consequences for Russia, that Russia needs to maintain its relations with the West. At the same time Putin will attend a summit of BRIC's leaders in Fortaleza, Brazil, with plans to set up a development bank, as the focus shifts back to the economy. Russia is expected to feel the impact of $75 billion in capital flight in the first half of 2014.

The Nikkei daily poll showing only 36% approve of the reinterpretation of the Constitution allowing collective defense and 51% disapprove- followed by the decision to go for "thorough" debate
07/09/2014
The Japanese people continue to support a policy of peaceful cooperation in Asia, and are wary of changing the principles underlying postwar peace in the region. The pacifist leaning New Komeito Party in the Abe coalition government supports restrictions on the reinterpretation. Abe may have lost some political goodwill on the issue which he needs for the reforms in agriculture and other areas of the economy for launching the Third Arrow. Facing skepticism prime minister Abe says he will take the time for a "thorough debate." In contrast to Japanese public opinion the Obama administration supported the moveas a way to counter China's assertive stance on territorial issues in the region. China's assertive stance followed a weak policy response from the Obama administration to Russian president Putin's intervention in the Middle East, including the Assad government in Syria's use of chemical weapons. Years of indecisive response and weakness may have led China to a miscalculation of the U.S. role in the Pacific, leading to its assertive stance on territorial issues and the Abe administration's response. In this situation the Japanese people have shown more sagacity about the wisdom of continuing with the principles which have supported postwar peace since 1945, than the Obama administration's waffling and indecision leading to support of an abrupt change in the basis of postwar peaceful cooperation in Asia through a hasty reinterpretation Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution. The U.S. has the same capabilities of maintaining peace in the Pacific region, as it has in the past, and in no way diminished in its will and purpose today, wthout a need for reinterpretation of the Constitution.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
