Category: World Affairs

In this section, I explore the shifting dynamics of power, diplomacy, conflict, and cooperation across the global stage.
From the promises and failures of Pax Americana to the complexities of Europe, Russia, and the Middle East, these reflections seek realism without losing sight of hope.

Summary: Reflections from the eighth decade — on life, culture, and the state of the world. This blog offers quiet observations, drawn from a lifetime of watching, questioning, and remembering. The sun lowers, but still gives light.

Quote of the week: From Elie Wiesel (1928-2016) writer, activist, and noble prize winner and most relevant to the meaning of this quote, a holocaust survivor.
