Previously, I have believed that a compromise with Vladimir Putin was possible. To a certain extent, I also believed that his demand that NATO cease its eastward expansion was reasonable, and that NATO could therefore compromise. In return, the United States and NATO could demand the withdrawal of Russian military cooperation in the Western Hemisphere, particularly in Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua.
Democracy is a strange, unwieldy, flawed, and maddening thing, rife with failures, crowded with bullies, full of misfortune, and embarrassed by contradictions. Those who claim to be brilliant political theorists or shrewd social observers try to construct better political systems, which, at least since John Locke in the late 17th century, has meant a democratic system.

When President Joe Biden campaigned for office, and then recently when Justice Stephen Breyer announced his impending retirement, Biden stated and then reiterated that he would choose an African American woman for the U.S. Supreme Court.

Amnesty International prepared a report where it delivers a series of accusations against Israel’s government policies and the nature of the state.
According to the report, Israel deliberately denies Palestinians their basic rights and freedoms; discriminates against Israeli Arabs; denies Palestinians the right to return; and resorts to torture and unlawful killings in both Israel and the Occupied Territories. Amnesty claims Israel views Palestinian Arabs as racially inferior and defines Israel as an “Apartheid State”.
On July 7, 2021, President Juvenal Moise was assassinated in his home. Haitians and Colombian hitmen participated in this crime. Yet, seven months later, we are still seeing little progress in the investigation. All we know is that drug traffickers may have ordered the assassination.
