[FRIAM] what's the view from Europe?

Yep. And EricS mentioned him awhile back, as well. I'm like 99% sure his name is Justin King.

It's not clear to me why he adopted a pseudonym, maybe for similar reasons to Scott Alexander. I gather at the time he started the YouTube channel, he was still training professionally. I think he's stopped that at this point, though.

I don't think I've mentioned him before... I half expect Glen is already clued in to him.  It is hard to see/hear him without expecting to hear the Trump Train tooting in the background, but he's quite the opposite.  Scary relevant/clued in/clear IMO.

To summarize, my takeaway was "if you think you can establish a no-fly zone in Ukraine, it would be yonks better to keep your powder dry and do a first strike because a no-fly *will* be Putin's pretext, even though he'll likely find another anyway".
