NATO decades long creep to the East has intensified and anguished our Russian colleagues. When I first started traveling to the USSR in 1981, the map below was an accurate depiction of European countries. Today, Russia has moved more than 100,000 troops, tanks and armaments to the eastern border of Ukraine.
This situation could have been avoided, or never have happened if it weren’t for the West’s inability or refusal to communicate honestly, talk with compassion, discuss openly to develop lasting relationships with Russians.

We now know that a group of American citizens who either worked in the White House, Justice Department, or were current or former members of Donald Trump’s administration or family engaged in a prolonged effort to stage a coup d’etat. These were men and woman, many with law degrees, some of whom were elected officials or appointed to government positions as advisors or lawyers to former President Trump. In this post I identify the conspirators and their groups who played a part in the coup and now subpoenas have been issued by the Jan 6 House Committee.

In recent years, there have been several documents and documentaries published that present a past that a lot of people want to forget or change. Beginning in 1619, a year before Pilgrims dropped anchor in Plymouth, enslaved African people arrived on the shores of Jamestown on the ship White Lion. Urged by Nikole Hannah-Jones, an American investigative journalist, [1] the New York Times has documented this in its 1619 Project[2] and in the new origins story in Hannah-Jones’s book of the same name.[3] The project aims to reframe the country’s history, understanding it with the beginning of American slavery and exploring the consequences and contributions of Black Americans at the center of the story of America.
