Generally speaking the people talking about private prisons have little idea of what they’re talking about; a lot of that has changed, and only about 14% of inmates are in private hands, and that number is falling.

BUT it was a talking point years ago, and people are slow to catch up.

That would be very exciting, something born from the modern world rather than peri-WWII anxieties.

I mean the makeup of the Security Council is nuts, it should probably be the US, China, The EU, an SEA rep of some sort, and some sort of pan-African representation as well. Germany the UK and France all having a seat is just archaic, especially given their relative strength in modern terms.

The main results of Russia’s genocidal rampage will be:

A push to divest from Russia and China.

European and NATO unity that hasn’t been seen for decades.

New and critical NATO members who would have never joined without Russia’s insanity on display.

Ukraine will, in the long-run, hopefully be rebuilt with significant Western aid and flourish. After all the best revenge is living well, and while Russia rots away, Ukraine will grow.
