Putin doesn’t matter. Russian Trolls might have an important thing to say. Are we listening? I read Ukrainian Serhii Plokhy’s book, “The Russo-Ukrainian War” wondering what I missed, or didn’t understand, about the Russo-Ukrainian War.

Let’s look at commercial real estate using only our eyes. RJ Talks is a new analyst on YouTube nailing recent developments in CRE financing — if you want to dive into the data. If you live in any major city, go outside, and count the new buildings going up. Do…
