It was an unusual meeting on 14 February 1945, aboard the USS Quincy in the Suez Canal, between two heads of state. On the one hand, Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR), President of the USA, the unofficial leader of the free world, was on the threshold of the final victory over Nazi Germany.
The January 6 Committee hearings bring upon those concerned and horrified by the Capitol insurrection a certain malaise, a deep and foreboding anxiety, a feeling that all of this is for naught.
We should take it as a mark of reasonable judgment not to consider the moderately problematic the same as the extremely problematic, to be unsurprised when anticipated action comport with expected results, and not to shift standards in similar situations without extremely good reasons.
A lot has been said and written about the Summit of the Americas currently taking place in Los Angeles. The refusal of Mexican president Andres Manuel Lopez, also known by AMLO, to participate over the exclusion of three dictatorships— Venezuela, Cuba, and Nicaragua— gave the impression that the summit was going to be a total failure. I disagree with those who had such a perception.

Since currencies represent a commonly accepted medium of exchange and can act as an enabler or disabler of economic relationships, they have the power to shape how the global economy functions.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine is a crime under international law and atrocities have been committed, but the Russians are not trying to annihilate the Ukrainian people.

I discovered Ivan Ilyin years ago and by chance. I was teaching at Wheaton College in Massachusetts as a Fulbright visiting professor, and in the library, I was looking for another book and other author for a Political Science Handbook in preparation. His text on The Essence of the Consciousness of Law was not useful to me, since his mixture of tsarism and orthodox religion was not suitable for what I was looking for in the relationship between law and politics.
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.
