President Dwight Eisenhower.
At times like this - when one mistake - can start a war - we need good leaders like Dwight Eisenhower.
The last four United States Presidents were fast asleep in the cockpit. Giving free rein to Russia and China.
When nine out of ten items are made in China - something is fundamental - wrong.
When we import most of our medicines from India and China, while we share our formulas with them, something must be fixed.
While our educational system fails our children - our politicians foster corruption of the worst order and do little for our infants, youth, and young adults - we should be aware this will come to bite us in the butt.
When one-third of our population swears they do not believe in our Constitution - there is a point of no return - and we must nip this movement in the bud.
January 6, 2021, invasion of Capitol Hill is the beginning of hate for hate's sake - where killing anyone that comes in their way - is a norm.
We already see our power system - electricity - compromised.
Circa 1831 -1890
This land belongs to the indigenous tribes - every inch was stolen - most do not even know this history.
Less care to acknowledge the injustice done to the indigenous people.
In the interim, Vladimir Putin was playing a chess game - and making all the right moves - even though they were terrible for the Free World.
The world of autocrats is one of excessive power and the suppression of freedom.
Curtailing the people's freedom - the people must not be treated like chattel - more regarding freedom and quality of life issues.
More and more, we have witnessed unrest in China and Russia.
Where there are autocrats - we witness spiraling economies - and unrest that leads to bloodshed.
We can study and witness the people of Hong Kong - when they were free under the British - there was no unrest.
As and when Communist China took over - all hell let loose - pandemonium.

Joseph Stalin
After World War II - countries such as China and Russia - were economically poor - the United Nations was created to allow everyone to be free and enjoy their freedom.
The United States helped France, Italy, Germany, the Scandinavian countries - and most countries that were Democratic.
China and Russia refused to give their citizens the freedom that the more progressive countries in the world, like Britain, the United States, France, Germany - in short, the NATO nations - and other nations that practiced democracy.
For the first time - most countries realized education, health, safety, sound transportation, and environmental issues - brought about change for the best.
Hence students from all over the world - came to the United States and learned so much. Many went back - some stayed and contributed to the United States.
For some unknown reason, many Chinese students, after educating themselves - took to spying, and this particular situation - must be dealt with - seriously.
We are aware that China and Russia - since the end of World War II to now - autocratic countries - treat their citizens with disdain.
The United States made many mistakes - in outsourcing goods - most of which we could have manufactured here in the United States.
The outsourcing is mainly led by Republicans who have amassed great wealth - and have secret accounts - in those places - that deal with " dark money."
Today we are treated with disdain by China, which has never been grateful for all we do for the Chinese - including migration to the United States.
We also allowed Russians to migrate to the United States and suffered consequences - spies stealing our proprietary information.
The Chinese have no conscience - wherever they go - they focus on money and have no standards - it is difficult for them to adapt to the values that the free world practice.
All over Africa - a continent - they have created bad blood - and soon, many African nations - will ask them to leave.
The paradox is that many of the Chinese have children with African women.
This fact causes a problem in China - more anywhere in Africa - since the Chinese will not be able quickly to go anywhere - because now everyone knows they are a problem.
China has crossed the red line - done more harm, and is defiant - smuggling dangerous drugs like Fentanyl and other derivatives of Fentanyl - killing thousands yearly.
Recently, China sent a spy balloon - and when it was shot down - it kept saying and lying that it was a weather balloon.
The United States uses our powerful satellite to gain information - so it is not as if - the United States does not - gather information.
We do - and have to keep a watch both on Russia and China. We must not take our security - lightly.
We are all aware of the war in Ukraine.
We now see how some nations side with Russia when the United Nations - and more the General Assembly meets.
Recently when a resolution was introduced requesting Russia to STOP the war - committing crimes against humanity - Belarus, North Korea, Syria, Eritrea, Mali, and Nicaragua voted for Russia.
For the first time, 141 nations voted against Russia - requesting Russia to stop the crimes against humanity and unconditional cessation - reaffirm Ukrainian sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity.
Vladimir Putin has crossed the line and must be stopped - now.
The United Nations has outlived its protocol and nuances that came soon after World War II.
Today the digital world is taking us to another level - and for now, the United States has the talent and skills to compete.
China has chosen to hack and steal - and is a pariah that must be dealt with.
Russia uses hacking as a tool - however, the Ukrainians are more intelligent. In the coming weeks, the Ukrainians will be helped by experts who will bring Russia to its knees.
China compromised the U.S. Office of Personnel Management - over three million Federal workers - many with top-secret clearances - were compromised.
It took us years to build "firewalls" to stop the hackers - however, the Chinese tried to hack the Pentagon and were arrested.
Today we, the United States, are in the doldrums - Russia per se is not to be blamed - but one egoistical maniac - Vladimir Putin.
Turtle Island
We keep throwing arrows in the air - we need a man like Dwight Eisenhower today - we can look everywhere - there is not one leader worth the salt.
