I am a Viet Nam veteran, 1968-1969. Having read Thucydides and the Sicilian Expedition, Professor Gaddis is absolutely correct in referring to this as cathartic, deeply moving. Thank you, Sir.
I would love to some thoughts on my thoughts. Russia: I would think that most experts believe the US policy during the Cold War was correct. But after, should have the US policy had been more engaging. May be a different outcome today. China: US policy has been engaging for 50 years. But China's actions dont reflect the US freindly engagement. China wants to be a respected world power but their actions should not be respected by the West.
Accurate predictions & salient points. Currently, Putin is in great peril. Not from NATO, but Oligarchs & Navalny. Russian leaders don’t get to retire. They mysteriously experience a “medical moment”… Economic statistics tell the tale: Ruble has lost 1/2 it’s value. Oil is 2/3 exports. Disposable income dropped 10%. 49% 24-56 year olds want to emigrate. GDP has risen only .03% yearly. Orders for SU 35 S canceled by Egypt, Algeria & Indonesia. China only buying 10b cu’ /year (1/3 Europe). All these have infuriated oligarch’s. Enter Alexi Navalny-the next President?? Putin may not survive this summer.
