How's your "world view" doing?  Chances are, you don't know because we insulated Americans are generally locked into our own worlds.  Pakistan and Argentina are far away.  Not important.

 

My mail on the Putin-Trump meeting to stop the madness in Ukraine is instructive. Some folks think "bad Vlad" can actually be arrested in Anchorage, or threatened.  Or humiliated like Zelensky was in a press conference.

 

One word: no.

 

Russia has nukes and might very well use them if its leader is ambushed.  Very simple analysis here.  Dictators with unlimited power inside their countries can wreak havoc on the world.  Hello Adolph, Joe Stalin, Mao.

 

Humiliating Vlad would lead to more bloodshed and madness.  Hannibal Lecter didn't have thermonuclear submarines.  Vlad does.  Same violent disposition, different circumstances.

 

So why doesn't everyone know this?  It's not hard to understand unless you live in a fantasy-filled bubble, which millions do.

 

And that's dangerous in a free society. Once the people lose touch with reality, crazy things flood the societal zone.  A rational world view is a bulwark against that.

 

We should all have one.

 

See you this evening for the No Spin News.
