The family of Kaja Kallas, the former PM of Estonia, worked together with Germany and the man with the moustache.

Always appreciate Dr Doctorow's wise and measured views and opinions - and agree with his assessment of British PM.

[kirilmazurek]

BBC has lost all credibility, decades ago.

[onepartofone]

May be at first it felt like an embarrassment, but there is a talk that this was deliberately allowed so to destruct and destroy the best ukranian forces. And its working. Russians had napoleon in Moscow and he still ended up leaving after Russians have destroyed his army by cutting it off supplies and so on. Its a standard russian tactics over all.

Getting Gilbert, Jeffrey and John into one room and challenging them to agree a path forward for the world maybe the best way we can all avoid disaster.

The UK goverment is completely detatched from the UK population, Israel dictates what happens here.

[fnaust]

Dr Doctorow is excellent, always wise with clear reasonings.

[nats]

Imagine having Doctorow, Mearsheimer, Sachs, and McGovern in one room, not to mention McGregor and Ritter?

[everready]

The unipolar world is in the intensive care unit and the prognosis isn't great!
