Yesterday, Senator McConnell had another episode of going blank before the cameras as he answered questions from reporters. It’s happened in public at least once before. During the spell, his brain stops taking in information or putting it out. Surely he’s had expert medical attention already, undergone state of the art…

In Putin’s Russia, the legal standard needs reversing. Yesterday, Yevgeny Prigozhin, the leader of the Wagner group, died in a plane crash that US officials now say was the result of an explosion in the plane he was travelling, not of a missile hitting it, as Wagner media had earlier reported. Two…

The module, Russia’s attempt to get back into the space race, didn’t land but crashed. I am sure that Putin was expecting a successful landing, to then boast that he could not only wage a war of extermination in Ukraine, his neighbor nation, but also be a competitor with China and…

Because America is coming to its senses. And there’s no one better to get us there than Mr Trump. His effort to become, once again, president of our nation, reminds us all of the national lapse of judgment that made his first term possible. All nations have pockets of ugliness that need to…

Why has Prigozhin been allowed to remain free? He marched on Moscow, shooting down planes and helicopters sent to intercept him, before he chose to agree to a deal brokered by Lukashenko from Belarus. Yet, as of today, Prigozhin is a free man with a private army both in Russia and…

The obituary page of The Economist (6/10/23) brought us the extraordinary story of Putin’s mother. The lady died recently at age 97 in Metekhi, a village in Georgia, southern Russia. She had come forward with the claim to being his mother at the age of 73 and four years later…

Prigozhin’s wild gamble didn’t pay off and now he’s landed in Belarus as part of the deal to thwart his revolt. The Economist reported that his soldiers were offered 3 options — sign up with the Russian military, go home or join Prigozhin in exile in Belarus. None are good choices. Wherever…
