#1 I've met him and his wife. Both are interesting and quite nice people.

#2 He's pretty much spot-on with this:

Russia is the last redoubt of the nasty old European nationalism that gave us so much conflict in the past. It is not a revived Soviet empire seeking to conquer the world, but a come-from-behind spoiler, burning with resentment at its would-be relegation to the scrapheap of former great powers.

#3 I'm not so sure about that scrapheap.

It seems that there's quite a bit of recycling going on in the former world power game. Think Persia, Turkey, Russia, China.. All former big time players in the world looking to be reborn.

The only two on the scrap heap for sure are the UK and Rome.

#4 US headed to scrap heap the same way Rome did. Rotting from the inside, discarding what made the US powerful. Strong individualism. US is becoming collectivist by socialism Bernie progressivism Clinton/Trump or by populism Trump
