Steve, I will persist. I am reliving 1942 and am even more scared now than I was then. I know Hitler/Putin/Stalin/Trump/ from many angles. The lust for power at any cost to other humans has to be controlled whenever it raises its ugly head. We may lose our chance to realize our potential to boost the UN, born in San Francisco, housed in NYC and help Ukraine realize its dream of being free of Putin. We must vote blue as we haven’t since the mid-1960’s (civil rights and LBJ, poor, school teacher in Texas before he got to Congress).

Your comment about LBJ is very telling. I did not think it at the time but in retrospect I consider him to be one of America's transactional Presidents. His legacy may want to be considered like the proverbial canary in the coal mine. Civil Rights and Voting Rights were his legacy - all undone by SCOTUS and the Maga Party... history will be unkind to this generation. As to Ukraine - the Putin wing of what used to be the GOP - now Maga - should be brought up on charges of violating the Logan Act.
