Great post. TY. Best ever... touches so much as you read. You display a rare connection between head, heart and soul that results in uncommon writings needed in a world that is - as you indicated - addicted to instant gratification.

Curious how you see demographics playing an influence on this... China and Russia are aging out... potentially leading to lower levels of political influence?

Took my time reading this one. Excellent write up as usual. Thanks Alma!

Side note, I just finished this book:

New Cold Wars: China's Rise, Russia's Invasion, and America's Struggle to Defend the West

Book by David E. Sanger

Great read that really complements these geo posts for someone like me who has gone down the rabbit hole.

Before the Caribbean crisis, there was the deployment of American missiles in Turkey with a flight time to Moscow of 10 minutes, and imagine - Moscow didn't like it. So there is no need to mold absolute evil from the USSR which proceeded from the fatal cognitive biases in decision-making.
