Sam Stea Cogan Station Now that Trump gave his ideological pal Putin the good-ole-boy wink and nod regarding Ukraine, we could expect that democratic nation to be overrun, despite his overtures for peace.

They were still waiting for their turn back in power 500 years later when the Roman emperors were finally overthrown by the barbarians. Our ancestors did more than just sit on their hands and say “pretty please” to the British king. There is no need for violence today, but there is plenty of need for courage.
