Thematic in contemporary conflict quite possibly across the board and much including "East-West Rivalry" that has our liberal and responsible (constitutional and responsive governance) striving to keep Beijing and Moscow contained in relation to both feudal purposes and totalitarian ones (until now for Moscow): the weight of the archaic medieval world and its formats against the more capable and responsible vision of the modern one. Erdogan, Orban, Putin, and Trump in part have represented medieval absolutism--and they have almost gotten away with it . . . but not quite. Orban has lost an election; the phantom of the Soviet has lost a modern war and may be losing the confidence of his own handlers or associates; and Trump's just making a mess while evading trials for past crimes, the Epstein outrage, and his own apparent delusional stupidity.
Regarding education in America in general: abysmal. Ill Trumpolini has been able to take advantage of investments in belief over knowledge all the way through. The truth is our defense and security institutions have long represented America's most modest best and brightest. Today, many in related executive positions, civilian, military, and paramilitary, have been displaced and the nation has been laid open for pirating. (Note: check earlier e-mail).
