I've been aware of Paul Goble as a renowned expert on the post-soviet space for close to 30 years. He continues to provide fascinating insights. Criminally few followers though...

“Above all, Europe needs to overcome its learned helplessness and act like the great power it is — especially given America’s apparent determination to destroy the pillars of its own strength.” (Funnily I had debated whether I should write my next column about exactly this)

On the one hand, the resistance is understandable. On the other hand, weavers in the late 18th century saying, "You've built a business that's implausible unless you build machines that mimic our work?" The writing is on the wall for most illustrators, lawyers, accountants, civil servants, etc.

#Auspol How awesome and I'm sure France does the same for all allied soldiers buried in France. Ie show great respect.
