moreAuthor of Globanomics. Jim has nearly fifty years of professional experience in the development of management information and analytical business decision support systems. Broadly disciplined with exceptional experience. Education includes an MBA from the Wharton School-University of Pennsylvania, an MPA in public finance from Indiana University; and a BA in mathematics from Hanover College. As a young man, I served as a nuclear trained officer on a U.S. fleet ballistic missile submarine during the Cold War.
In terms of articles relating to finance, economics, and the markets I am writing exclusively for TalkMarkets. I have published novels of both fiction and nonfiction, including: Globanomics, Crush Depth Alert; The Sowers Seeds; Champion Standing, Before Monarchs Flap Their Wings, and The Cold War Submariner (1969-1973). Links to my last two books follow:

I'm not sure either is truly interested in peace at the moment. Putin would rather destroy Ukraine than admit defeat - a "if we can't have it, no one can mentality."
Meanwhile, Russia has bullied, threatened and picked away at Ukraine for years. Now to everyone's suprise, including Ukraine's, they are winning. Why quit now? They can take back all the land they lost, even the Crimea. While humiliating and decimating Russia's army to the point where they won't be able to be a threat again for perhaps a generation.
There simply isn't enough interest/reason to pursue peace at this moment.
There should always be, regardless of the moment of time, enough interest/reason to pursue peace.
Interesting idea. Though I don't love the thought of offering a tyrant the nobel price for ceasing his mass murder. What's next? Giving serial killers a medal once they are arrested and no longer kill?
