The Americans who died in WWII fighting Hitler must be turning in their graves that an American president is an inspiration for neo-Nazis in Germany!😡

Here’s an excerpt from this article by Katrin Bennhold in The New York Times:

“Mr. Trump’s appeal to the political fringe has now added a new and unpredictable element to German politics at a time when the domestic intelligence agency has identified far-right extremism and far-right terrorism as the biggest risks to German democracy.

“The authorities have only recently woken up to a problem of far-right infiltration in the police and military. Over the past 15 months, far-right terrorists killed a regional politician on his front porch near the central city of Kassel, attacked a synagogue in the eastern city of Halle and shot dead nine people of immigrant descent in the western city of Hanau. Mr. Trump featured in the manifesto of the Hanau killer, who praised his “America First” policy.

“In Germany, as in the United States, Mr. Trump has become an inspiration to these fringe groups. Among them are not only long-established hard-right and neo-Nazi movements, but also now followers of QAnon, the internet conspiracy theory popular among some of Mr. Trump’s supporters in the United States that hails him as a hero and liberator.”

Ukraine war pushes Germans to change. They are wavering.

Chancellor Olaf Scholz surprised the world, and his own country, when he responded to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine with a 100 billion euro ($108 billion) plan to arm Germany, send weapons to Ukraine and end his nation’s deep dependence on Russian energy. It was Germany’s biggest foreign policy shift since the Cold War, what Scholz called a “Zeitenwende” — an epochal change — that won applause for…

Yes, Europe Should Buy Russian Oil

Discussions at the G7 summit this week have included what appears to be a counterintuitive proposal to relax the sanctions against buying Russian oil, here reported by Katrin Bennhold and Jim Tankersley in 

Ukraine War’s Latest Victim? The Fight Against Climate Change. 

Another proposal that has gained steam in recent days and is expected to feature at the summit is a price cap on Russian oil, allowing European countries to import it, but only at an artificially low price. That could help lower oil and gasoline prices worldwide and reduce the energy revenues underwriting President Vladimir V. Putin’s war efforts in Ukraine. It could also encourage more Russian oil production.

An architect of the idea, Janet L. Yellen, the U.S. Treasury secretary, has privately been telling foreign leaders that imposing the so-called price cap on Russian oil sales to Europe would be the single best thing those leaders could do right now to minimize the chances of a global recession, according to people familiar with the conversations.

[...]

In the United States, the idea of a price cap on Russian oil is seen as a way to reduce oil and gasoline prices and put a dent in the Kremlin’s finances. To date, Russia has found a way around sanctions and embargoes in the West by selling to China and India, which are gobbling up its oil at discounted — but still lucrative — prices.

The proposal would effectively allow Russia to sell more oil to Europe, but only at a steep discount on the current price of more than $100 a barrel. Ms. Yellen, as well as top economic officials in Ukraine, say it would serve two key purposes: increasing the global supply of oil to put downward pressure on oil and gasoline prices, while reducing Russia’s oil revenue.[1]

Proponents say it is likely that Russia would continue to produce and sell oil even at a discount because it would be easier and more economical than capping wells to cut production. Simon Johnson, an economist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, estimates that it could be in Russia’s economic interest to continue selling oil with a price cap as low as $10 a barrel.

This idea is sound economics. And the ecological impacts would be far lower to continue to source oil from Russia rather than expanding other oil production elsewhere, or -- worst of all -- increasing the use of coal.

Will Russia play along? They need the money -- they have apparently just defaulted on loan payments -- but may rather beggar their neighbors.

grievance.

“Race has been as central to Donald Trump’s presidency as it was to Woodrow Wilson’s, a century ago.”

“If it can happen in the United States, it can happen anywhere,” wrote New York Times Berlin bureau chief Katrin Bennhold , purporting to sum up world leaders’ reaction to the white nationalist assault on the U.S. Capitol. The truth is precisely the opposite: mob violence by white people aggrieved at perceived threats to their political hegemony due to the growing influence or presence of the Other — most often, Blacks — is trademark Americana, an historically repetitive phenomena that is, to varying degrees, also characteristic of other white settler states that share the U.S.’s genocidal history. It cannot “happen anywhere,” because similar conditions and histories do not exist everywhere. Bennhold’s interpretation of global sentiment is pure American exceptionalist propaganda — an erasure of U.S. history to project a false view of the present. (In fact, the only world semi-notable who mouthed words similar to Bennhold’s was former Romanian prime minister Dacian Cioloş .)

White mobs and armed groups have been inflicting violence against the non-white presence in their colonial settler state ever since their ancestors arrived on these shores. The Puritans – a colony-in-arms — had all but completed the mission of racially “purifying” New England within a century of setting foot at Plymouth Rock. Far more Native Americans were killed by massed, armed settler civilians than by uniformed armies of the British Crown or the young U.S. republic. Whites in the slave states of the U.S. South were a people perpetually in arms in “defense” against slave rebellions, with every able-bodied white man obligated to aid in suppressing real or threatened Black revolts. Hundreds of Blacks were massacred in the wake of Nat Turner’s 1831 rebellion.

“Mob violence is trademark Americana, an historically repetitive phenomena that is, to varying degrees, also characteristic of other white settler states.”

Northern white mobs also rejected the Black presence in their cities in the pre-Civil War era. Racists attempted to drive Black people out of Cincinnati, Ohio, three times: in 1829, 1836 and 1841. (In 1853 and 1855, white Cincinnati nativists also fought with German immigrants who had been influenced by revolutionary trends in Europe.)

After the Civil War, white mobs and racist armies spent 30 years subduing Black Reconstruction, from the New Orleans massacre of 1866 to the armed overthrow of the Black Republican-white Populist government in Wilmington, North Carolina’s largest city, in 1898. During this period tens of thousands were killed — far more than the four thousand-plus Black lynching victims recorded by the great journalist/organizer Ida B. Wells .

White civilians annihilated the remaining natives of California in the gold and land rushes, and terrorized and forced the mass expulsion of Chinese from the state.

About a year ago, I found myself at an eclectic dinner party. In our mix were men and women of all ages in all stages of their careers. Conversation turned to the #MeToo movement and the way it had changed the national conversation about sexual harassment and assault.

A high-powered lawyer at the table confided in us that several of his male friends and counterparts had come to him after noticing a troubling pattern. These men — who were working for different companies, across a wide array of industries — were committed to mentoring men and women. They were eager to ensure that their colleagues were being treated equally and being afforded equal opportunity, regardless of gender. And yet, after the #MeToo movement changed the political landscape, they found that they — and those around them — were less inclined to take a female associate on a business trip, or for a dinner alone to strategize about an upcoming meeting. Many at the table had been excited about the promise of #MeToo, and were aghast to hear that it was having negative consequences for women.

I can’t blame those men. I said as much at the time. This week, Katrin Bennhold reported in the New York Times that the risks now associated with mentoring women was a common theme discussed in Davos. There’s data to back up the fact that men are increasingly seeing their female colleagues as risks to be managed. Bennhold cites two surveys released last February whose key findings are troubling: ‘Almost half of male managers are uncomfortable participating in a common work activity with a woman, such as mentoring, working alone, or socializing together.’

 There’s more: ‘Senior men are three-and-a-half times more likely to hesitate to have a work dinner with a junior-level woman than with a junior-level man – and five times more likely to hesitate to travel for work with a junior-level woman.’ Given our political climate, in which the mere whisper of an accusation can destroy a life and a good reputation, should any of us be surprised?

There are two large problems, both of which play a role in contributing to this new workplace reality. 

The first is that — unwittingly or not — #MeToo has placed sexual assault and sexual harassment on the same platform. Both are wrong, and women should never be subject to either, whether in the workplace or anywhere else. But anyone who has experienced sexual assault, or even has a friend or colleague who has experienced sexual assault, can attest to the fact that there is a world of difference between harassment and assault.

The second problem is that the movement has championed this notion that society must ‘believe all women.’ The issue here is that America’s justice system treats the accused as innocent until proven guilty, yet society has come to to treat accusations as if they were fact.

 This gives men the impression that with a single tweet, a single sentence, a single comment, we are able to destroy their lives.

Some women I know cherish that sense of power. 

They argue that, since men are physically stronger, and with centuries of history in which women were oppressed and not treated as equals, it’s good to instill a little fear in the other sex. I don’t believe they have anticipated the extent to which fear is a highly motivating factor. This time, it has motivated men to mentor fewer women. How that’s a victory for my fellow females, I don’t have a clue.

             While doing research for my final paper, I stumbled across this New York Times article which is about why the United States has yet to have a women president. My paper is going to be based on some of the women leaders around the world, past and present, and their influence on the world or their nation in regards to transnational feminist beliefs and ideals. So, this article speaks of a few of the most famous and successful women leaders, such as Golda Meir of Isreal and Indira Ghandi of India. The authors, Katrin Bennhold and Rick Gladstone, also discuss the loss of Hillary Clinton in the previous presidential election and how Donald Trump won. They mention how the United States and other large nations, promote leaders who are clearly misogynists and how a large focus of the debates was about gender. In a presidential debate, you would think the main discussion would not be about gender, but instead about policies. This is one reason why the United States has yet to have a women leader according to the authors. What I am looking for out of this article was the mention of some great women leaders around the world to write about in my essay. On that is mentioned is Ellen Johnson Sirleaf of Liberia; who in 2011 won a Nobel Peace Prize for her work in healing Liberia after the civil war that was wrought out by the previous leader. She has risen politically as a peacemaker and has begun to influence her nation and other nations to follow in her way.
