Thank you for gathering all these resources in one place! Related: Just heard Jeffrey Sachs do some articulate and candid venting about NordStream 2 on an "UnHerd" podcast with Freddie Sayers. Some of Sachs' vehemence may be a lingering aftereffect of his well-intentioned but unsuccessful efforts soon after the break-up of the Soviet Union (?) But I think he basically is sincerely frustrated by what he sees as a reliance on arms and covert operations in interacting with Russia, rather than on energetic diplomacy and negotiation. And by how difficult it is--in the current foreign policy climate--to push for more diplomacy and negotiation.
