I have been getting emails asking if the EU robbing Russia is the prelude to the Great Taking. Let’s make this very clear – there is NO GREAT TAKING – that is sophistry. You might as well add that they will default on all pensions, medicare, and Social Security while at it. […]
The aftermath of the Honduran presidential election has been marked with unease, anxious crowds, contested tallies, and a sense that unseen hands have been quietly rearranging the country’s political destiny.
