Thank you for writing on this. I am glad that you and I see clearly the same thing that is happening on the world stage right now.

I am rarely taken aback by some pundit's statement. However Tucker Carlson right after giving the Putin interview and in the wake of Putin's assassination of a political rival Carlson said,

"‘Leadership Requires Killing People."

He wasn't saying this about giving the goahead to kill some terrorist, but about Putin killing a political rival.

Shocking. Unamerican.

I am as of now more optimistic about the world avoiding a WWII type situation. Mostly because the world leading up to WWII had no hegemonic power. However US hegemony currently teeters on collapsing. This would be a disaster and could very well lead to something akin to a word war.

I just hope the US system outlasts Putin and Xi, and the Iranian theocracy. That these countries get a chance to reverse course and move towards the free world.
