Silicon Curtain Jonathan Fink

Today I’m speaking with Operator Starsky, a Ukrainian National Guardian,
blogger, and inspiration for everyone who is following the war, and
supporting a Ukrainian victory. He has created one of the most popular
and original YouTube channels dedicated to the international community.
I’m not sure you need an introduction – I’m sure most people watching
this channel will have seen your videos!

Harvard’s Lawrence Tribe has forcefully remarked, “there can be no
justification for halfway measures, let alone for doing nothing while
Ukraine is destroyed. Inaction is an illusion: it would represent a
cowardly decision to appease and to encourage further aggression around
the world.” Similarly, 80 years ago, FDR warned, “The only limit to our
realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today.” Interpreting that
in the context of Russia’s illegal violation of Ukraine’s sovereign
borders, Jeffrey Sonnenfeld argues that now is the time to act and seize
Russia’s $300 billion in frozen assets to support a Ukrainian victory
over an imperialistic aggressor.
----------

Jeffrey Sonnenfeld is Lester Crown Professor of Leadership Practice and a
Senior Associate Dean of the Yale School of Management. He helped
catalyse the retreat of 1,200 global corporations from Russia, and now
strongly advocates for seized Russian Central Bank assets to be passed
to Ukraine. Sonnenfeld is known as the founder and CEO of the Chief
Executive Leadership Institute (CELI), affiliated with Yale University
and for convening Yale's semi-annual CEO Summits, which have drawn
thousands of CEOs over the years to engage in off-the-record
peer-to-peer conversations.

We discuss topics such as "why the IMF naively 'endorses' Putin's fake
economic stats."

FUNDRAISER:
409th fundraiser!
https://fundrazr.com/c2Ogqb
"I will be doing a fundraiser for the 409th that will focus on two areas
of support, the drone team and training. The battalion is deployed in
the East and doing some great work. A former colleague of mine from the
131st has been sharing a lot of his experience with the drone team.
After speaking to my friend and the commander of the battalion, I now
have a list of equipment that will be transformative for the entire
battalion. These civilian/ commercially bought items include Alientech
receivers, antenna and cabling. I'm particularly keen to include
training aids for the battalion. Thank you all for the support and best
wishes over the last few months. I may be home at the moment, but my
heart is in Ukraine."
