Opinion-Editorial BoardThe US Can’t Pretend That Putin Is Ready for PeaceThe Russian president is resisting even a favorable ceasefire offer. If the White House wants to secure a lasting agreement, it needs to toughen the terms.Art of the deal. Source: Office of the President of Ukraine/Getty ImagesThe White House deserves credit for revitalizing diplomacy to end the war in Ukraine. In its haste for a deal, however, its proposals have too often looked indistinguishable from a surrender on Russia’s terms. If the US wants to secure a lasting peace, it will need to put forward a more credible offer — and, most important, increase the pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin to accept.According to multiple reports, American negotiators have offered up a ceasefire plan that would leave Russia in de facto control of almost all the Ukrainian territory it currently occupies. In addition to land, Putin would win substantial sanctions relief. The US may also formally recognize Crimea, which Russia illegally annexed in 2014.Ukraine would be allowed to maintain its military but be offered only vague security guarantees, to be enforced by an ad hoc coalition of allies (not including the US). For at least the duration of the current US administration, it would be barred from joining NATO. Further details would be negotiated after the guns fall silent.Despite such a favorable offer, Putin seems in no hurry to end his invasion, continuing to demand all four Ukrainian regions he only partially controls. For their part, Ukrainian leaders rightly argue that they need a clearer pledge of continued US military support: not necessarily boots on the ground, but air defense systems, help with cybersecurity and intelligence, and a US backstop for any allied peacekeeping troops. Otherwise any pause is likely to last only as long as it takes Russia to rebuild its forces. The agreement signed Wednesday to give the US privileged access to Ukraine’s mineral resources is no substitute.The White House ought to keep two things in mind. First, it cannot expect Ukrainians simply to accept a capitulation they anticipate will lead to a renewed assault. While they have little hope of ejecting Russian forces in the near term, their defenses have been stout. The country now boasts Europe’s largest standing army and manufactures many of its own weapons. Its people are weary of war but not ready to give in.Second, Russia’s advantages aren’t as decisive as they appear. Over the past three years, its troops have advanced slowly and at enormous cost. Its war economy is straining under high inflation, labor shortages, soaring interest rates and dwindling foreign reserves. After purportedly topping 4% last year, growth has sputtered to around 0%, according to Goldman Sachs Group Inc. Lower oil prices have dented a major source of budget revenue.The longer the war drags on, the greater the risk of economic collapse and social unrest at home. Putin has good reason to seek a deal — and reason to fear American pressure if he does not.US officials have implied that they’ve presented their final offer and are prepared to “walk away” if the two sides cannot agree. Certainly, that would be wiser than underwriting a sham settlement that rewards aggression and invites future wars.A better strategy, though, would be to make clear the US is willing to provide logistical help to peacekeepers on the ground, continued aid for Ukraine’s military and defense industries, and backing for the country’s integration into Europe’s security architecture and eventual membership in the European Union.Simultaneously, American officials should let the Kremlin know that if it continues to balk, the US will further tighten sanctions, including secondary measures against buyers of Russian oil, and take steps to strengthen Ukraine’s ability to defend itself. US military aid and intelligence will flow unimpeded.No matter what deal he signs now, Putin will likely continue to view Ukraine as Russian and Ukrainians’ freedom as a threat. To endure, any peace agreement must therefore include a substantive deterrent against future aggression. The US ought to provide it.
Asustadísimos, me acaba de jorobar el puente de Mayo .Ahora en serio, ¿Van a meter los estadounidenses tropas en Ucrania para pelear con los rusos? No me lo creo.
Manufacturing activity hits 5-month low as Trump tariffs leave businesses in 'state of near paralysis'US manufacturing activity slid to a five-month low in April as President Trump's tariffs continued to create uncertainty for businesses.The Institute for Supply Management's manufacturing PMI fell to 48.7 in April, below the 49 seen the month prior. Readings below 50 indicate contraction in the sector.The ISM's prices paid index for the sector came in at 69.8, roughly flat compared to the prior month. Meanwhile, new orders increased to a reading of 47.2, above the 45.2 seen in March."In April, U.S. manufacturing activity slipped marginally further into contraction after expanding only marginally in February," Institute for Supply Management chair Timothy Fiore said in a press release. "Demand and output weakened while input strengthened further, conditions that are not considered positive for economic growth."The ISM release includes comments from survey respondents across various industries. Jefferies US economist Thomas Simons wrote in a note to clients on Thursday that nearly all of the comments "described a state of near paralysis" as businesses struggle to account for the changing tariff policies."The tone of these comments suggests that business planning is impossible for the majority of manufacturers, irrespective of their industry specialty," Simons wrote. "Frankly, it is a surprise that the index levels are as high as they are. These comments are consistent with a PMI reading in the 20s or 30s."In a separate release on Thursday, S&P Global's manufacturing data showed activity held flat at a reading of 50.2 in April. Meanwhile, S&P Global noted that tariff impacts boosted both input and selling costs."It tells me that this process that started with the policy uncertainty and then moved to the markets is now starting to show up in the real data," S&P Global Ratings global chief economist Paul Gruenwald told Yahoo Finance. "That's kind of the last leg of this transmission."Gruenwald added that the "key variable" for the economy moving forward will be whether or not the labor market deteriorates further."If you want to differentiate between the slowdown scenario and the recession scenario, it's going to center on the labor market," Gruenwald said. "So if we start to see cracks in the labor market, that's going to take us into the recession scenario. Not there yet, but we're starting to see a little bit of weakness."New data out this week has shown further signs of cooling in the labor market. ADP reported that private payrolls grew by just 62,000 in April, the smallest increase since July 2024. Meanwhile, a separate release from the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed job openings hit a four-month low at the end of March and are hovering near their lowest level since December 2020.On Friday, the April jobs report is expected to show 135,000 nonfarm payroll jobs were added to the US economy last month while unemployment held steady at 4.2%, according to data from Bloomberg.In March, the US economy added 228,000 jobs while the unemployment rate rose to 4.2%.The United States flag is shown at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, Calif.

Cómo es puente y estoy aburrido me voy a poner conspiranoico. Estoy empezando a especular con la idea de que hay en marcha una especie de "golpe blando" contra el gobierno.Si no, ¿para que el CNI? ¿Acaso está a la orden del día que los espías españoles registren de manera masiva las grandes empresas eléctricas de España? ¿Por qué esa obsesión de las empresas en no dar la información y del gobierno en obtenerla? Asustadisimos siempre dice que no es cierto que todo esté relacionado con todo pero que tampoco es cierto que nada este relacionado con nada.¿Lo de Sánchez en China y el evidente intento de control por parte del gobierno de sectores estratégicos puede haber mosqueado mucho a la facción anglo de la derecha, muy fuerte en Iberdrola, y han decidido marcarse un " quien puede hacer que haga"?

@pstflscrdtfgshace 3 horasDesde España. | 'The Brick' is a massive anti-capitalist scam centered on unearned money, initiated in the 1980s and with global reach (popular capitalism). You're forced to participate simply because you need to fulfill your basic housing needs. Like all scams (deceit + error + harm), it has generated misleading rhetoric. However, in this case, due to its nature as a primary and mandatory consumer good, and as a strategic resource for the nation, it has given rise to a theory and practice far more damaging than the scam itself: capitalism is dead. And, like all deaths, it is forever.
