But how 'bout those Spahtans, huh?

The way NYC is hemorrhaging every resident who can get out of there, the city will lose some representatives.
GOOD.

So a few days ago I read this article in the New York Times:
WASHINGTON ā Ukraineās military has an urgent need for nonlethal military assistance like body armor, night-vision goggles, communications gear and aviation fuel to defend against a potential Russian attack, according to a new analysis by a former NATO commander and a former Pentagon official.
But wary of provoking Russia, the Obama administration has been reluctant to provide it, they say.
āImplementation of U.S. nonlethal military aid is seriously flawed and needs immediate correction,ā Gen. Wesley K. Clark and Phillip A. Karber wrote in a copy of the report that The New York Times obtained on Tuesday. General Clark, who is retired, is the former NATO commander who led the allianceās forces during the 1998 Kosovo conflict, and Mr. Karber is a former strategy adviser to Defense Secretary Caspar W. Weinberger.
[ā¦]
The visit of General Clark, who ran for the 2004 Democratic presidential nomination, and Mr. Karber took place in late March and early April. They traveled at the invitation of Ukrainian officials, and the trip was paid for by the Potomac Foundation, an American nonprofit research center.
The article and the accompanying report/assessment (which you can read here) alone are interesting, but what really caught my attention was this "Potomac Foundation". I had never heard of them. According to the article, they're just "an American nonprofit research center". The report has a bit more detail, statingā¦
With travel costs covered by the non-Āprofit Potomac Foundation (an organization with a long history of supporting East European and former Soviet Republic training for NATO membership), Clark and Karber traveled to Ukraine to undertake a joint militarily oriented, nonĀpublic assessment, and do so on a nonāpartisan basis.
So I was curious and decided to look into the Foundation, to see what they do. What I found (or didn't, rather) answered none of my questions and raised even more. This group is a ghost.
I'm convinced that we're dealing with a shadow CFR-like think tank.
