Thanks for the obvious vigorous effort you must spend in sharing your observations - that greatly resonate with me. Just wanted you to know I read your post’s regularly and deeply appreciate the expansive historic wisdom on the sad state of the federal governance of the United States, of Russia, of Iran, including basically the entire Middle East, including Israel & Saudi Arabia. But first & foremost in contributing to the sorry state of our global existential “sitz im leben” - living situation - I name Trump, Putin and the Republican controlled Congress of the U.S.A. I see Two critical needs: 1) The U.S. actually has a mid-term election since our “Emperor with No Clothes” may attempt to void one due to our “National Security”, not to mention security of The Golden One from “jail’ & or Conviction of Impeachment of Trump by Congress & removal from office, ONLY IF the other “critical need 2” is incarnated - if we indeed have a Mid-Term election - the Republican’s lose by a substantial majority, control of Congress, especially in the Senate where more than a mere majority vote is required to Convict the POTUS of any submitted Articles of Impeachment from the House of Representatives which only requires a majority vote.
