Feels so good to be reading your essays again, Dr. Haque. Without $$$, I had no access to anything on Medium, except to publish my work that hardly anyone reads because it might make a difference in someone's life on Earth. Good to be a READING Medium Writing Partner again! BTW, to your point I add this nuance: The West's oligarchs make more profits from Putin's mad hatter war with nuclear ballistic missile codes in his possession than they do from peace--or putting Putin in a locked psychiatric facility.
