Thanks for your report; it is very important.

But it makes me want to cry. What have we gotten ourselves into?

I'm going to read the Time article now, and then to Yanis' piece.

Many years ago, 2015, my wife and I were flying into Greece, as tourists, just as Syriza and Tsipras were elected to steer Greece in a different direction.

Ever since those days, everything that I noticed about Yanis' message seems to make a lot of sense.

On second thought, I'll click the Yanis link first. As an American whose favorable opinion of Ukrainian defense has been constant, I am afraid to read the Time link, because of what we might find there.

Fear and Loathing in the Western World. Now I know what our forebears were feeling when hitler turned his criminal war machine on Czechoslovakia in 1938.
