Russia’s overnight attack on Ukraine was the second largest of the war so far.
Moscow has insisted again it only targets military sites, despite repeatedly causing damage to civilian infrastructure.
Sky’s military analyst Michael Clarke has added to the scepticism around the Kremlin’s claim.
https://www.youtube.com/watch/1LhbcxpZLPs Fela Kuti – Why Black Man Dey Suffer (Edit) (Official Visualizer)
Why Black Man Dey Suffer, recorded in 1971, was originally deemed too controversial for release by EMI, his label at the time. Having recently been schooled in the American black power movement and having taken on a new Pan-African worldview, this album served as one of Fela’s first musical soapboxes on which he challenged the colonial injustices and corruption of the ruling elites of his time. The title track “Why Black Man Dey Suffer” is a history lesson on the oppression of the African man. It details the litany of abuses the black man has suffered — from being taken as slaves, to having an alien people impose a new culture upon them, take their land, fight them, and set them against one another. The following track, “Ikoyi Mentality”, firmly expresses Fela’s identification with the downtrodden masses and his rejection of the ways of the ruling class inhabitants of the Ikoyi neighborhood in Lagos.
This video is part of a series of songs being posted on Fela’s official YouTube channel (http://www.youtube.com/fela) each featuring, alongside the music, an informative commentary by Afrobeat Historian, Chris May.
The entire catalogue, released on Kntting Factory Records, is available on the Fela website (http://fela.net/), along with documentaries and recorded concerts, CDs and vinyl, tee shirts, posters and many other items.

https://www.youtube.com/watch/ZsdMLNUpqvQ Is American capitalism still capitalism? | Ian Bremmer’s Quick Take
In this episode of Ian Bremmer’s Quick Take, Ian explores the state of capitalism in the United States.
Ian explains why “free market capitalism” looks very different today than in decades past. Recent news that the US government is taking a 10% equity stake in Intel is just one example of Washington moving toward a more state-driven economic model.
While government subsidies for strategic industries like semiconductors may make sense, Ian warns that other industrial policies, like trying to re-shore large-scale manufacturing, risk being backward looking. Ian also argues that much of what passes for capitalism in the US is really oligarchy: corporations using lobbying to secure entrenched advantages and offloading the costs of their business models onto the public.
Meanwhile, China has thrived with state capitalism for 50 years, and the US is increasingly trying to compete by playing the same game. But Ian raises concerns that America’s short political cycles and policy whiplash make it poorly suited for long-term state-led planning, and that the benefits often flow disproportionately to the wealthy.
The bottom line: Ian believes the US needs more capitalism, not less, but it has to be, “capitalism that runs in a competitive environment, where no one gets to capture the political process, and where losses are seen as responsibilities of corporations, just as profits are.”
