What is your expertise that you believe gives you more insight than people on the ground and actually involved in the negotiations? If you know better than the experts, why don’t you write your own articles or offer your own assistance in the negotiations?

I'm Latvian, the fact that Russia hasn't stepped a foot over our border is all the insight I need

You can be comfortable in your ignorance, but not if you’re going to spout nonsense so confidently. If you can’t keep up with the current events, and you don’t really have anything to add.

I don't know man, 340 economists signed this open letter: https://web.archive.org/web/20230806172854/https://news.berkeley.edu/2023/03/20/open-letter-to-jeffrey-sachs-on-the-russia-ukraine-war/

The ratio is 340:1. I'd say, this dude is losing.
