Русские, хозяева своей судьбы

(Tiempo de lectura: 4 - 8 minutos)

На протяжении последних дней, скромно говоря, мы видим, как неудержимо растет фигура самого значительного политического лидера XXI века – украинского президента В.Зеленского, невысокого роста, но умного, мужественного и преданного своему народу. По мнению Бориса Джонсона в своем выступлении 27 февраля,он назвал Зеленского яростным конкурентом Путина. По его словам разница между добром и злом, между светом и тьмой никогда не была столь очевидной. Против обезумевшего российского диктатора, перед нами молодой украинский лидер, уравновешанный,с антивоенным настроением до самого последнего момента вторжения России, сталкнувшийся иногда даже с более агрессивной риторикой приходящей из Атлантики, тем не менее, Зеленский встретил неизбежную агрессию, проявив бесспорное лидерство, полное эмоций, сочувствия, политического мастерства и, прежде всего, мужества.

When Attorney General Merrick Garland said on Jan. 5, 2022, that he would prosecute anyone involved in the Capitol riots, he was not only laying out his approach to the sprawling investigation of that attack. He also appeared to be responding to a growing number of people who have pressured him to announce he would criminally charge former President Donald Trump for the role he played in the day’s events.

Political rage: America survived a decade of anger in the 18th century – but can it now?

(Tiempo de lectura: 3 - 6 minutos)

Americans have an anger problem.

People rage at each other. They are angry at public officials for shutting down parts of society. Or for the opposite reason because they aren’t doing enough to curb the virus. Democrats vent their rage at Republicans. And Republicans treat Democrats not as opponents, but as enemies.
