I am so nervous about the situation in Ukraine. I don’t understand how a man who claims to have moral authority could help try to overthrow our gov and refuse aide to a country where death and destruction are rampant. I mean if he really wants to enforce his religion over the majority of citizens why is he in cahoots with two men, Putin and Trump, who are seriously morally flawed and I suspect are not religious at all. At the very least does he not think his god is watching? The hypocrisy here is mind blowing.
Professor Richardson, I continue to feel so grateful that you share your wealth of knowledge and historical reference to keep us well informed. I also very much appreciate that you take the time to record these posts as a Podcast! Thank you!!
The radical wing of the Republican Party, led by a would-be authoritarian, is doing its best to drag us back to a time before World War II, a time when isolationism was the will of the people and the goal of our leaders. That wasn't the first time isolationism was advocated. It dates back to the birth of the nation, when George Washington himself advocated avoidance of involvement in European wars, seemingly forgetting that our freedom from England would likely not have been won without the involvement of France. Like it or not, the day will come when we are one world, united for the benefit of global humanity. The Republicans can hide from it all they want, but it is coming.
“The democratic nations, must have all hands on deck”….Quite. Meanwhile Russia grinds on, whilst House Speaker Mike Johnson flies in the face of general opinion in Congress. It’s not been the right time to bring it to the floor of the House..One man in the way of common sense.

Just unbelievable. More like fiction, but it’s reality and way more scary than Bay of Pigs.
Hard to like this letter so painful to hear. A nightmare we must wake up from. Somehow.
