With only a tiny percentage of the new military spending package is earmarked for Ukraine, weapons profiteers are still being prioritized by Congress over care for the American people themselves.
The legislative agenda proposed by Florida Senator Rick Scott is designed to punish the poorest people in the country, protect the wealth of the richest and set the stage to destroy Social Security, Medicare and Civil Rights laws.
Wars never go as planned. Putin's decision to go to war in Ukraine has backfired so severely that the Russian economy has nearly collapsed in a matter of one week. Not quite what he had in mind.
Mild-mannered motorcyclist Guy Stewart Callendar connected carbon dioxide concentrations with rising temperatures and triggered a huge debate over the human role in climate change—in 1938.
Who are Putin's oligarchs, and what is their relationship with him? And more importantly, will eroding their wealth do anything to end the war in Ukraine?
Tax havens in past times were sleepy Caribbean backwaters. But now the US, led by investor-friendly financial secrecy laws in states like South Dakota and Delaware, has emerged as a global center for hiding illicit wealth.
Donald Trump’s former campaign chairman and former lawyer worked with, between them, a deposed authoritarian president, a bevy of oligarchs, Russia-oriented politicians and alleged Russian spies.
The “precinct strategy” widely promoted by Steve Bannon has already inspired thousands of Trump supporters to fill local GOP positions, intent on preventing a “stolen election.”
It is extraordinary that in the matter of a week, Putin has killed many Ukrainian citizens, countless Russian soldiers and his own country’s economy.
Russians have a history of actually preventing nuclear war. Will they now prevent Putin from using a nuclear option?
The impacts of climate change and a warming future will compromise the achievement of societal goals like ending poverty and malnutrition, in the United States and abroad.
Putin is showing the world, again, that authoritarianism is itself a failed method of government. It fails when confronted with the defiance of the most powerful force in government everywhere, the consent or refusal of the governed.
Republicans are resorting to book burning as a protest against teaching history with things like the 1619 Project. In reality it depicts is a history of triumph, achievement, endurance, incremental victories against impossible odds and courage.
There is a good reason for Putin’s selective telling of the past exaggerating the legacy of Nazism in Ukraine: he fears democracy more than he fears Nazism.
The enduring questions of war are, "How does a normal person decide to become a random killer of civilians? What has seized his normal social human intellect to become a callous murderer?"
Like the Czars of the past who miscalculated how much idiocy and bloodshed the peasants and serfs would tolerate before they revolted, Putin's social calculus is deeply flawed.
