Ukraine’s story is part of the longer history of eastern Europe – pieces laying on the ground from Wilson’s hubris after the Great War. Several decades after Wilson and Versailles, two giants clashed again in World War II of which the US was a member of the cast supporting Stalin. In the middle were peopleContinue reading “Frank Lee’s View of Ukraine’s Dirty Little Secrets”

The Ukraine War is best seen as marking the transition from a Unipolar World to a Multipolar World. Obviously, DC elites are willing to defend the Unipolar World to the last Ukrainian (while maximizing profits to Raytheon et al.).

Marie Yovanovitch, the former US Ambassador to Ukraine, let slip during an interview that Trump would have prevented war in Ukraine via diplomacy, but then absurdly asserted that would have been a bad thing. Yovanovitch, who testified against Trump during his 2019 impeachment trial, made the remarks during an interview with PBS this past weekend.Continue reading “Joke of the Day – No Joke”

Having served as a commissioned officer in the US Navy with a few deployments and consulted on defense and national security matters over the years, I found myself approaching the Ukraine War with increasing skepticism in response to the prevailing wisdom from our government.
