  1. Isn't it time for us to understand that autocratic regimes have seen their day in the sun? When are we finally going to realize that authoritarian regimes are toxic for the human community. They are costing us a fortune to be constantly upgrading our weapons systems because like Ukraine, the minute the Americans are distracted---apparently Putin started sending troops to the Ukrainian border the day after the resurrection---they take advantage of the opportunity and grab another country. Shouldn't we at least put in on the table to finding a peaceful way to dismantle these regimes that are really two or three strongmen ruling over millions of people? I'm an artist, and if I lived in an authoritarian regime, I would have to have my paintings okayed before they could go out of the studio, etc. We don't have to look too far down the road to see that the world could very well end up having two strongmen in charge. America is the guardian of the free world at karge and without her the Earth would descend into a world being divided up by leaders who are accountable to no one. We shouldn't be angry at any of the people who represent the rogue regimes because they have to say what they're told or they end up disappeared. Sergei Lavrov has to tow the line. He has family in Russia and if he said one thing to contradict his boss he knows he would be coming back to stay for good and fill in the blanks. Let's start using our think tanks to get the world working together and not against each other. One thing is for sure: democratic countries and authoritarian regimes cannot co-exist, but the hardest thing to accept---and this is only my opinion---but they are stronger than us because you don't need a good leader to run those countries. You only need to be what the army wants and the army wants one thing: to expand its territory
