Where are all the rational, clear headed folk that allow this insanity to continue and escalate. We need their voices to be heard loud and clear. What's the song: "The Eve Of Distruction" here we be.

Beautiful piece. And of course, like an addict who is reluctant to take his or her own inventory, the American Empire, high on Power, the greatest aphrodisiac, to borrow Henry Kissinger's definition, blames all the other nations of the world to distract attention from itself. We must, of course, also acknowledge the enormous amounts of filthy lucre US arms merchants are making on the war in Ukraine in our quest to understand the character defects of the nation's greedy leaders who resort to this self-centered ploy. It's an old story, that usually precedes a nasty fall from Grace!

Thank you, Paul, for another great informative piece.

I’ve also been asking about Myanmar since I was there for work several years ago. But [it not being civilized] explains a lot.

Thank you for your truthfulness. I have wondered about all the hyperbole floating about in connection with the war in Ukraine and you have answered in depth.

I just finished COBALT RED and wondered why this tragedy in the DRC which brings suffering to the Congolese many and profit to a corporate few isn't discussed more openly in the American press. Your article addressed this.
