Okay, a decent first day of sales...We'll call it friends and family +. The Great Nuclear War of 1975 cracked its categories' top 100. Not bad. KU reads are just ramping up. We'll see how sales develop over the next few days. So far, there's no reason to be pessimistic...yet.
We saw a few days ago that the Treasury Department has issued sanctions against various Russian organizations and Russians. Among those sanctioned are Inforos and our own KGB handler. Which is at once jarring and kinda funny. Wow, we know someone whose been sanctioned by the State Department. Cool! We're unclear as to what 'sanctioned' actually means. Best we can tell, our KGB handler can't pay us. No problem, the last articles are gratis, m'kay?
This blog admits the war hasn't gone the way the Soviets, sorry Russians, wanted. The press is bombarding us with images of shot down Russian jets, destroyed Russian equipment, and plucky Ukrainian freedom fighters poking the lumbering Russian bear. That's the media narrative. Wise observers approach the media narrative with great caution.
Looking at the map, to our eye the Ruskis are slowly taking territory and moving toward their goals. We believe Ukrainian resistance will weaken slowly and then all at once. One day we'll wake up and see Russian tanks rolling into Kiev. Exit questions: what are Ukrainian losses and how long can the Ukrainians sustain those loses?
[Are you defeatist?-Ed]
We are, and perhaps we should be reported to the authorities for failure to properly support the war.
