Trump dump

Guardian - European leaders, including Germany’s Angela Merkel, will mark the 80th anniversary of the start of the second world war in Warsaw on Sunday. But Donald Trump – who cancelled on his Polish hosts at the last-minute last week, citing concerns over a hurricane barrelling towards Florida – was due to spend the day at his golf club in Virginia.

At the end of WWI, I believe, more people were truly concerned with the idea of PEACE after witnessing the horrors of war. While the provisions in the Treaty of Versailles were not as good as the 1940s Marshall Plan, we might actually Celebrate the 100th anniversary of that in November.

Also, in the quest for PEACE, the League of Nations was formed after WWI which may have been the pre-cursor to the United Nations, which unfortunately many of our recent politicians seem to dislike.; September 2, 2019 at 9:18 AM

Whatever the debate, the Review's sharp critiques encourage us to look out our window, notice and act upon what we see, and also to look further -- to the rest of the country and globe -- to see how the organized big world interacts with our more spontaneous small worlds. - Utne Reader
