BRACK: American companies leaving Russia “in droves”

By Elliott Brack |  The Russian advancement against Ukraine has backfired, in more ways than one. First, it has exposed just how inefficient the Russian military is.  Secondly, it has caused “droves” of western countries, including many American firms, to pull out of their operations in Russia.  Recent figures show more than 300 firms have exited Russia.

BRACK: The war in Ukraine: Can China become a peace negotiator?

By Elliott Brack  |  Please understand up front that we know few people who are well-versed about the country of Ukraine.  Certainly, we are not in that category. Yet just watching the news reports, and reading the dispatches about the invasion of Ukraine by Vladimir Putin’s Russia, certain  elements pop out at us:

ANOTHER VIEW: With war in Ukraine, might be a good time to plant wheat 

By Byron Gilbert |  In the 1970s, I had hair and lived in the small town where I went to college in Ohio (Ohio Wesleyan).  Some of the years I spent working for a 500 watt daytime radio station that carried the Chicago Board and had agriculture shows and middle-of-the-road music.  I could tell you the price of corn, soybeans,  and winter wheat daily. These were the grain crops in the area and pigs and chickens were popular.  Morgan and Arabian horses were bred there. West of town was Select Sires.

FOCUS: Putin is just rattling sabers; he doesn’t want war

By Raleigh Perry  |  Vladimir Putin is often hard to read. However, today it seems that he is doing something that he has never done before.  First, he has stated unequivocally that he does not want NATO very close to Russia.  I do not have a problem with that request at all.  We did not want Russia in Cuba and got them out.
