Nuclear Ukraine?

Upon Ukraine’s 1991 independence, over 1,700 Soviet nuclear weapons were left on its territory. Ukraine never possessed operational control of the weapons, and all were removed to Russia

America’s economy: building back broke

“Build back better” was the slogan, championed by none other than US President Joe Biden himself.
The end of pandemic restrictions was meant to usher in a stronger, richer US, with more electric cars, less dependence on fossil fuels, improved infrastructure and higher wages.
“We need to build America from the bottom up and the middle out, not from top down with the trickle-down economics that’s always failed us,” Biden said in a speech in October last year, laying out his Build Back Better framework.
Build back broke, though, has been a better description of the post-pandemic reality so far as the world’s biggest economy teeters on recession and living standards rapidly go into reverse for the first time in a generation.
“We’re looking right now at a calamity, something quite unlike anything we’ve seen in our lifetimes,” Kevin Hassett, former chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers under Donald Trump, tells Inquirer.
The costs of the giant and historically unprecedented economic experiment that was the US (and our) response to Covid-19 – shutting down swathes of the economy and propping up households and business with money created by the central bank – are starting to emerge as the Russian war in Ukraine wreaks havoc on global energy supply.
Inflation has lurched to almost 9 per cent across the year to May, the fastest pace since early 1981 and more than quadruple the US Federal Reserve’s target level.
“It’s already entrenched; just a question of how far up it will go,” says Hassett, who has little confidence in the Biden administration’s ability to steer the US through an economic crisis.
The bird’s-eye view of the economy has deteriorated rapidly this year. The US stockmarket has tanked more than 20 per cent since January. This month, consumer confidence dropped to the lowest level since the 1940s, according to the University of Michigan’s closely watched index.
That’s probably no surprise when shopping, travel and home ownership have become a more financially painful experience.
Last week the price of petrol exceeded $US5 a gallon ($1.90 a litre) for the first time, more than double the level of a year ago.
Grocery prices have risen almost 10 per cent, including a 30 per cent jump for eggs, a breakfast staple. Airfares have soared 40 per cent in a handful of months. Rents, which have little to do with energy prices, rose 5.2 per cent across the year to May, the quickest pace in more than 20 years.
THEAUSTRALIAN.COM.AU02:37
Wall Street tanks amid recession concern
Most Americans fix their home-loan interest rates, but for new homebuyers the cost of owning a home has risen, too. The average interest rate on 30-year home loans – the most common in the US – have risen to almost 6.3 per cent, their highest level since 2008.
Meanwhile the economy, still the world’s largest, has started to shrink, declining 1.5 per cent in the first three months of the year at an annual rate.
“When you have decline of GDP of that size, then about 90 per cent of the time since the second world war you have had a recession,” says Hassett, a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution.
He suggests it is inevitable Australia will fall into recession too if the US does.
Inquirer spoke to three former chairmen of the Council of Economic Advisers, established by president Harry Truman in 1946 to advise the White House on economic policy: Hassett; Jason Furman, who held the position under Barack Obama; and Greg Mankiw, who was chairman under George W. Bush.
“A recession’s more likely than not,” says Mankiw, who thinks high inflation, something no one born after 1980 has any serious recollection of, has become entrenched.
“My best guess is inflation comes down to 4 or 5 per cent, and hovers around there for a few years.”
Furman, a Harvard University economics professor with ties to the ruling Democrats, is more optimistic. “Confidence is extremely low, but consumer balance sheets are very healthy,” he says, alluding to the pile of cash US households accumulated throughout the pandemic, thanks to the trillions of dollars in stimulus heaped on them by the Trump and Biden administrations. Consumption, which makes up about 60 per cent of the US economy and propped it up during the pandemic, has begun to wobble.
Last month, retail spending fell 0.3 per cent on the previous month, the US Census Bureau said this week. It was a bigger drop than expected, after rocketing up 8 per cent during the previous 12 months.
“If incomes decline by 5 per cent then for output to go up you have to borrow a lot or have a lot of resources from which you can purchase,” Hassett says.
“But people are running out of money.” Wages growth has picked up to 5.2 per cent but remains well short of inflation. And as real incomes fall, it’s inevitable Americans will buy less, while the Washington spigot has been turned off for good.
The authorities, who only a year or two ago were worried about inflation being too low, are fretting, understandably, about a repeat of the late 1970s when central banks had to jack up interest rates in a bid to crush inflation, tipping their economies into recession in the process. The Federal Reserve, spooked by much higher inflation than it anticipated, lifted its federal funds rate (equivalent to the Reserve Bank of Australia’s cash rate) by 0.75 percentage points on Wednesday to 1.75 per cent, the biggest increase in a single meeting since 1994.
“The US economy is in a strong position and well positioned to deal with higher interest rates,” Federal Reserve chairman Jerome “Jay” Powell said, suggesting the US economy would grow 1.7 per cent this year and putting as positive a spin on developments as possible. Yet only a few hours before Powell began his press conference, the Atlanta Federal Reserve Bank, one of the 12 members of the sprawling US central bank, updated its forecast for economic growth in the second quarter of this year to 0 per cent.
THEAUSTRALIAN.COM.AU01:50
Biden isn’t doing enough on economy, Americans say
The Atlanta bank’s track record, especially so late in the three-month period, is good, suggesting the US is, in fact, already in recession.
The jobs market remains the one significant bright spot in the US economy. The unemployment rate, after soaring to almost 15 per cent in the early part of the pandemic, has fallen back to 3.6 per cent, where it was in February 2020, when it marked the lowest point since the ’60s.
When interest rates increase, the economy slows, and businesses lay off workers, reducing demand for goods and services and thus inflation, so the theory goes.
“It takes a particular person to end inflation and I’m not sure if Jay Powell is temperamentally like Volcker, who, remember, was deeply hated, only a hero with the benefit of hindsight,” Mankiw says, referring to former Federal Reserve chairman Paul Volker, who induced two recessions in quick succession in the 1980s to snuff out inflation.
Thomas Hoenig, who was president of the US Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City for 20 years until 2011, is similarly sceptical.
“If the FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) follows past patterns it will tend to back off if the unemployment numbers get out of hand, and they’ll do that even if inflation remains 6 per cent or so,” Hoenig says. “They will be under enormous pressure to ease off.”
The Federal Reserve, created in 1913, is nominally independent but in practice is vulnerable to political influence. It has had a mandate since 2012 to keep US inflation at 2 per cent.
“The problem for them is you can’t say 5 per cent is close to 2, as you could with 1.5,” Mankiw says, referring to the Fed’s failure to meet its target even before the latest inflation jump.
The Fed, and other central banks, have a very fine line to walk: increase rates too fast and the cure becomes worse than the disease; not enough and inflation expectations become entrenched.
US consumers’ expectation for future inflation across the next 12 months jumped to 5.4 per cent in April, the highest level since the early ’80s.
“And here’s a chilling thought, and not just for the US but for Australia too, is that the central bank interest rate has to be above the inflation rate for the inflation rate to go down – think about that,” Hassett says.
In both nations that is far from the case, with real interest rates still significantly negative.
It’s easy to dismiss the impact of the seemingly small increases in official interest rates the Fed has initiated, but they can pack a huge punch when increasing from a low level.
Basic mathematics implies a doubling of home-loan interest rates will halve the sum a household can borrow for a given monthly interest repayment. When households hoping to borrow $1m suddenly find they can afford only around $500,000, the impact on asset prices could be huge.
US government debt, which has surged well beyond 100 per cent of gross domestic product, has another complication for the Fed.
“It will become a factor very quickly; if the Fed isn’t funding it then the private sector has to, so rates will go up, and that interest part of government spending could go up very dramatically,” says Hoenig, who later became vice-chairman of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, an independent agency of the US government.
“There’s no immediate way of stopping inflation; you put all this stimulus out there, all this artificial demand created by significant increases in money printing – it’s going to take time.”
The Democrats, naturally, have been eager to blame Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, supply bottlenecks as nations emerged from the Covid-19 pandemic, and even big oil and shipping corporations.
“Some of this stuff is ridiculous,” Mankiw says. “Blaming oil companies for excess profits, it’s all politics.”
Biden wrote a letter to seven US oil giants on Wednesday, demanding they increase oil production to reduce pressure.
Even Furman, echoing the stronger criticism of Biden from former Clinton-era Treasury secretary Larry Summers throughout last year, agrees the Biden administration deserves at least some of the blame.
“Policymakers – via a combination of extremely expansionary monetary and fiscal policy – tried to push the economy past where it could go,” he says politely, recommending greater fiscal restraint.
Hassett is less charitable. “Right now you can basically go to Toys R Us, and go down the infant toy aisle and find a better president,” he says. “And once markets understand how devoid of talent the administration is, it’s going to be a very frightening time.”
In 1948, American diplomat and historian George Kennan pointed out the US had 50 per cent of the world’s wealth but only 6.3 per cent of its people:
“This disparity is particularly great as between ourselves and the peoples of Asia. In this situation, we cannot fail to be the object of envy and resentment,” he wrote.
The people of Asia have since become vastly richer and more influential, especially the Chinese. Last year, the US, with about 4.5 per cent of the world’s population, held less than 30 per cent of the world’s wealth.
But it still casts a long economic shadow, including over Australia, where it remains the largest foreign investor, even if China has become Australia’s largest trading partner.
“Countries around the world borrow in dollars,” Furman says. “What happens to US interest rates and US exchange rates and US GDP matter more than any other country in the world.”
Indeed, the Australian dollar is already languishing in the high US60c range, despite record iron ore and coal prices. Money is rushing back to the US to capitalise on the higher interest rates.
The two nations’ economic cycles have tracked closely in the past. Both responded to the pandemic similarly (massive central bank-financed government spending), both have record low unemployment, rising interest rates and plunging consumer and business confidence.
The best hope for the Australian and US economies might be the sudden worry about a recession. The economy rarely lives up the predictions of the consensus. “I’ve been around macro-economics long enough to know nothing is inevitable,” Mankiw says.

Australia’s Energy Crisis Worsens As Gov’t Ask People To Keep Lights Off To Avert Blackouts (17 Jun)

Interestingly the cartoon is from the print version, so how that got into ZH is curious. And Aussie ZH writer?

The codes the codes!

And?

The Soviet/Russian system allowed both centralised control of missile launch authorisation from the Soviet Premier and semi-independent release authority from the General Staff’s own Command Centres.

Here is my source: https://nuke.fas.org/guide/russia/c3i/index.html

As the source says:

Physical control of the unlock and launch authorization codes resides with the military, the General Staff has direct access to these codes, and can initiate a missile attack with or without the permission of political authorities.

The Russian General Staff has two methods for launching nuclear weapons. Following the American pattern, the unlock and launch authorization codes held by the General Staff at their command centers can be sent directly to individual weapons commanders, who would execute the launch procedures […] Or, the General Staff could direct missile launches directly from command centers in the Moscow vicinity or alternative facilities at Chekhov, Penza, and elsewhere. This is a remote launch of land-based strategic missiles would bypass the subordinate chain of command and missile launch crews.

Given this information, clever clog, can you really and honestly say that the Ukrainian government could never have operated those ballistic missiles?

Especially given, as per the wiki entry on the Ukrainian Strategic Missile Forces Museum at Pobuzke (formerly one of those aforementioned Command Centres):

After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Ukraine held about one third of the Soviet nuclear arsenal, the third largest in the world at the time, as well as significant means of its design and production.[1] 130 UR-100N/RS-18 intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM) with six warheads each, 46 RT-23 Molodets ICBMs with ten warheads apiece, as well as 33 heavy bombers, totalling approximately 1,700 warheads remained on Ukrainian territory.[2]

Anymore pro-Rus and anti-Ukrainian apologia you want to drop, Gabor?

Bird Activists Team with Intersectional Drag Queen for Climate Change Music Video ‘Queering the Environmental Space’ (16 Jun, via Climate Depot)

The Audubon Society has released a music video, featuring an intersectional drag queen, explaining how birds’ battle against climate change provides humans with a “message of hope.”

The video, “Birds Tell Us: The Song of the Meadowlark,” featuring a drag queen dressed as a meadowlark bird-person, both honors LGBTQ “Pride Month” and addresses the issue of climate change

I do hope it doesn’t encounter a wind turbine. That would be messy.

On the QWERTY Meadowlark, can’t help but think of this:

Eccl 9:4 The hearts of people, moreover, are full of evil and there is madness in their hearts while they live, and afterward they join the dead.

Particularly if they hit the rotors.

The Audubon Society, founded in 1905, is the latest grisly intersection of three ineviabilities:

– Blair’s Law
– Conquest’s 2nd Law
– Iowahawk’s (nyuk nyuk) Skinsuit Law

Rex I wouldn’t be quoting 25 year old information about nuclear codes.

I think that in the context of Hohols could never control their nukes (They was Russian!), so the claim they should never have given them up is invalid, and with a follow-up of muh nuclear codes! when it was pointed out that not just Russians served in the Soviet Strategic Rocket forces, it is thoroughly applicable to the argument.

Do you really think the Russkies left the security of these weapons to the Ukes in the intervening years.

Yes. Before Vlad Bae, Russia was struggling to keep itself together and economically afloat. Except where it could closely exert control (and really, Transistra is an oddball thanks to a rogue Russian brigade that never really left Moldova after independence was declared), its former vassal states were left to fend for themselves.

Hence the UN and US’ rush at the time to try and tidy all that mess up, before rogue states and folks with lethal agendas started helping themselves. There is a reason that most action thrillers in the period 1991-2003 were focussed around nuclear macguffins acquired by dangerous third parties from nonspecific-but-clearly-identifiable ex-Soviet Eastern European countries. It reflected the popular fears of the era.

In trying to dismiss me, you also clearly missed the bit about Ukraine being left holding most of the means of the Soviet nuclear arsenal’s production.

That means they could produce everything from the fuel valves and fasteners to the lockouts and safety mechanisms, and employed the folks who designed, engineered and used same.

But for the fact that the Ukrainian government chose non-proliferation between 1994 and 1997, no doubt aided by the expense of maintaining such a large stock of Soviet weaponry, in a limited economy an uneasy wider world and many promises of economic aid if they did, they had all the capacity to continue being a de facto nuclear power.

Stop making excuses for poor old Mama Russia- They left the kit and infrastructure behind when their latest empire collapsed. And a whole lot of people who knew what they were doing.

And trying to argue after the fact that Russia really held all the strings, (Honest! 🙁 ) is like watching a lifelong member of Sinn Fein with a family full of Provos trying to tie themselves in knots in their efforts to explain how the IRA really didn’t inconvenience the lives of the average inhabitant of Northern Ireland all that much during the Troubles. Honest…

Anyway, have I offended some zeitgeist regarding the Bear?

Or is the thought of a continent-spanning nuclear empire collapsing so thoroughly and abruptly it left arsenals of active WMD scattered like ruined castles throughout its and suddenly-ungoverned former territories so utterly appalling as to be unthinkable?

Because 30 years ago, that’s exactly what happened. And praise God that nobody rushed to take advantage of that…

Speaking of dismay, I’m still struggling over the government’s attitude to the electricity suppliers. The whole kit and caboodle was sold off, the market was distorted with oodles of subsidies and the suppliers went with the most profitable option.

Correct, the AEMO is NOT a ‘Market’, it is a centrally planned electricity supply and distribution system. I note the media are all reading the same talking point: the ‘free market’ has been suspended to deal with the ‘energy crisis’.

My mothers pretty crook in hospital at the moment, likely she won’t get through this, anyway she’s in a lot of pain, but the only pain relief is paracetamol and some tablet under her tongue once a day. She is in agony for much of the day, the hospital won’t give her strong pain relief as she may get addicted to it. Mum’s 87, in poor health and unlikely to survive, surely addiction to pain relief is the last thing they should be concerned about.

b) He has an economics degree and (dare I believe?) understands that the Keynesian sheep who have overrun central banks and the economics profession have ZERO idea how economies actually work.

It wasn’t that long ago that you could buy Codral and strong pain relief from the shelf of a chemist shop, now there seems to be a concerted effort to let people suffer. I don’t get it.

What you are seeing is the intersection of 2 trends

1) ‘Safety Culture’ – Governments job is to protect you against any and all harms (irrespective of any and all harms said protection itself causes – Exhibit A: the last 2 years)
2) The ‘Tyranny of Experts’ – you stupid proles are incapable of knowing what’s good for them, and its virtuous to force them to make the right ‘decisions’.

In short, we have been forcibly infantilised, even our 87 year olds.

Best wishes for your Mum sfw. Here in Carnbra we have no trouble with pain relief.

“Our press won’t even ask do you think — like, us being on the verge of World War III — do you think our decision-making could be being influenced by the fact that there’s plenty more out there that we don’t even know about? I mean, there doesn’t seem to be an enemy country of the United States that doesn’t somehow have a Hunter Biden laptop. ”

The True Cost of Solar and Wind Power? Having No Power at All

You’ve probably already been made aware of the predictions that there will be numerous electric grid failures this summer, even in areas not normally prone to blackouts or brownouts.

Saving the planet is going to be annoying, dangerous, and far less of a smooth transition than we’ve been led to believe. In fact, green energy fanatics have lied about how easy the transition is going to be.

CompactMag:

Renewables are the least reliable form of power. But because of subsidies, they can outbid others in auctions that are supposed to encourage competition and deliver value to consumers. Faced with this subsidized competition, traditional power plants can’t make enough money to stay online. When people describe the Palisades nuclear plant as “uneconomic,” that’s exactly what they are talking about. It was shunted off of the grid by these dynamics.

No one can be held responsible for keeping the grid running. Independent system operators, the authorities set up to oversee the RTOs, can’t tell power plants to keep fuel on-site or order them to prefer one type of generation over another. The federal government doesn’t allow them to, because that would create bias in the markets and entrench the “market power” of larger, more reliable plants. To work around this, various regions have created “capacity markets,” in which generators bid to be on call for seasonal peaks. But capacity markets often fail because they treat unreliable and reliable forms of power as if they are the same thing.

In other words, renewable energy generation is just another racket subsidized by the federal government. It’s not that there isn’t enough energy to generate electrical power. There’s plenty of oil, plenty of coal and natural gas.

But who can compete with subsidized energy like solar and wind?

Take the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO), which allocates power for the upper Midwest and parts of the South. It holds capacity auctions under which power plants guarantee they will be online during seasonal demand spikes—when everyone’s cranking their AC in summer or turning up the heat in winter. But MISO’s capacity market is horribly flawed.

In the end, it comes down to a simple, mathematical equation: will our company make a profit from generating electricity or not?

It should be noted that this is a feature, not a bug of renewable energy. Making it too expensive to use fossil fuels to generate electricity is part of the charm renewable energy holds for green fanatics.
