Opinion | Seeing the Big Picture in Two Big Wars
  + stars: | 2023-11-02 | by ( Thomas L. Friedman | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +9 min
Step back far enough, and you can see exactly what is driving so much geopolitics today: Ukraine is trying to join the West. Or they would have agreed to Lend-Lease assistance for the allies only if President Franklin Roosevelt would eliminate the I.R.S. That’s why today America must help Israel and Ukraine to blunt the Russia-Iran axis in their theaters. But the morning after their wars, Israel and Ukraine are going to have to face some very hard choices. Because while we may write big checks to both today, they will not be blank checks.

Two Cheers for Ukraine’s Oligarchs
  + stars: | 2023-04-06 | by ( Leon Aron | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
In late 1991, Russia and Ukraine began their post-Soviet journey from pretty much the same starting point in their political and economic development. Today, Russia under President Vladimir Putin is an autocracy verging on military dictatorship, while the Ukrainian political system, for all its flaws, has retained two important features of democracy: free competition among parties and the peaceful turnover of power. This difference, not any threat of NATO aggression, was the real reason why Mr. Putin launched his invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Had Ukraine been allowed to complete its fits-and-starts transition to a stable, prosperous and Western-oriented democracy, it would have become an imminent threat to Mr. Putin’s regime. Sooner or later, the Russian people would have started to ask why they couldn’t have what Ukraine had.

Ideologia a fost singurul principiu legitimator pentru aceste regimuri fundamental corupte, coruptive și înșelătoare. Un respectat expert în afacerile sovietice și post-sovietice, Aron este autorul unei biografii majore Boris Elțîn și a numeroase articole despre cultura politică din Rusia. Homo Sovieticus a fost expus drept un fals ideologic, opusul umanismului clasic. Cartea lui Leon Aron este o arheologie superbă a ceea ce poate fi numit matricea simbolică a revoluției lui Gorbaciov. Cartea lui Leon Aron reușește să reînvie în chip magnific ceea ce Hannah Arendt numea comoara pierdută a tradiției revoluționare.
