European leaders are discussing a security guarantee; ”de villigas koalition”

Försvarschefer från ”de villigas koalition”, gruppen av länder som stödjer Ukraina och som leds av Storbritanniens Kier Starmer och Frankrikes Emannuel Macron möttes ungefär samtidigt i samma ärende.

Det är denna grupp, där samtliga är med i Nato, som har tagit på sig att planera stödet och säkerhetsgarantierna för Ukraina – utanför Nato.

European leaders are discussing a security guarantee for Ukraine that would commit Kyiv's allies to decide within 24 hours whether to provide military support to the country if it's again attacked by Russia.

The proposal would commit nations that have signed bilateral agreements with Ukraine to confer quickly on a response in case of attack, with options including providing Kyiv with rapid and sustained defense support, economic assistance, and imposing sanctions on Russia.

Trump ruled out sending soldiers to Ukraine, but said the US might provide air support.

European officials set to work to draw up guarantees, including a plan to send French and British troops to Ukraine as part of a potential peace agreement.

Security “guarantees” for Ukraine are not clear enough; Article 5. The devil is in the detail

Pfizer in 2019 sold $20 billion of drugs in the U.S. Its federal tax bill? Zero; Ireland

Trump has already singled out pharma companies and countries like Ireland that reap the benefits of tax-avoidance moves.  Despite its small size, Ireland ran an $87 billion trade surplus with the U.S. last year—larger than any country except China, Mexico and Vietnam. https://www.wsj.com/health/pharma/how-trumps-tariffs-could-upend-pharmas-overseas-tax-strategy-5b8ca758 Is Ireland vulnerable again as the world’s vast shadow banking system starts to crack? Shadow banking is the dog that has not barked during the latest global spasm of financial stress. This is very fortunate, especially for small countries such as Ireland that have bet the farm on this industry. https://englundmacro.blogspot.com/2023/04/is-ireland-vulnerable-again-as-worlds.html Cayman Islands https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cayman_Islands What the heck is happening in the Cayman Islands?

The breakdown of monetarism During the past decade, the links between economic activity, inflation, and monetary policy that were taken for granted in the 1980s and 1990s have completely broken down.  The pre-crisis dogma that inflation “is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon” has turned out to be nonsense, at least for advanced economies, where central banks have printed money like wallpaper without any inflationary response.
