It would be nice if there was some interest in sovereignty on the Left. The recent appearance of BSW suggests there may be a base of support for it. If they make common cause with the Establishment parties, however they are doomed. Any future would be with the AfD. Sovereignty is baseline while the level of welfare is details.
The reviewer was a great example of why antiglobalism has become the province of the Right. To blame the Ukraine war on antiglobalism is a version of The World started in 2022. Starting in 1991 (remember the New World Order), the globalist West steadily backed Russia into a corner and the war is a result. The Middle East war is something more ancient but if you want a proximate cause, the answer is British colonialism (i.e. globalism). As for the Chinese, that is a struggle between two sorts of globalisms.
The smug comments about climate change and human rights topped it off. They sure have done a bang up job. The former has become an excuse for grifters to fly their private jets to the other side of the world and plot to take away our gas stoves. As for human rights, what they have accomplished is widespread abuse in the former democratic countries and nothing at all elsewhere.
Claiming the war is the result of the 'globalist West backing Russia into a corner' is itself fairly anti-sovereignty in its outlook, though. Russia had all the opportunity in the world at the end of the Cold War to give the new, vulnerable post-Soviet Republics the kind of assurances and security guarantees necessary to keep them in the Eurasian orbit. Clearly it failed to, and as a result they *chose* as *sovereign* nations to join NATO to protect themselves. The successive rounds of Russian revanchism since then--beginning with the suppression of Chechen independence in the first and second Chechen war, continuing on through to the annexation of Crimea and now the invasion of Ukraine--is really only illustrating that they were correct in their choice to do so.
In terms of Security Gap data, I'd like to see breakouts for those with college degrees working jobs that do not require a college degree. Keep up the great work!

Russia tried but the West just wanted to loot them. Pretty clear in the Yeltisn years and into the early Putin years.
