M.V. RAMANA – Lewis Mumford once despaired: “our technocrats are so committed to the worship of the sacred cow of technology that they say in effect: Let the machine prevail, though the earth be poisoned, the air be polluted, the food and water be contaminated, and mankind itself be condemned to a dreary and useless life, on a planet no more fit to support life than the sterile surface of the moon”.
Article one: Trump and the Viable Road to Peace in Ukraine; Article two: Ukraine Timeline Tells the Tale
JACK MATLOCK – Malock did not vote for Trump and has been critical of most of his moves. But in regard to the war…he believes Trump is on the right track.

Time to Junk the Munich Analogy
ARNOLD OLIVER – The lessons to be learned from the events in Munich in 1938, in which Prime Minister Chamberlain signed off on the Nazi seizure of Czechoslovakia, are of course relevant, but they have also been used to justify all manner of wars and violence that have had little justification. Perhaps even worse, the Munich analogy has been used to justify the refusal to negotiate with adversaries. Were it up to me, Arnold Oliver, I would banish that analogy from the English lexicon. I will briefly explain my reasoning.
