There is one person we have not heard from

During this crisis, actually two.

Kissinger. (I think that is a good thing, quite frankly I do not like him. That said, my dad admired him, but he did not know half the stuff Kissinger did)

Zbigniew Brzezinski, no relation, but I am very curious how he sees the Russian moves on the grand chessboard. I admit, reading his books back in college did influence how I tend to think of these issues of war, peace and the grand chessboard.

I tend to have it as background.

Now will do some reading. I like Zbigniew, maybe because he served under Carter. (And I read him in graduate school) Sometimes he's been on the Rachel Maddow Show.

Don't reignite the cold war because the Ukrainians are willing to be your friends, but they're not willing to be your serfs.

As a recent SoS, I'd love to hear Goldman Sachs' position through her.

Some probably Americanized it (or it was changed for them; my father's family name was changed by the Russians and then by Canadian border officials).
