While we were obsessing over billionaires at the bottom of the ocean, a civil war broke out in Russia.

In 1917, civil war in Russia led to the fall of the Tsar and the rise of communism and the Soviet Union.

In 1991, armed conflict in Moscow led to the breakup of the Soviet Union, the fall of communism and eventually the rise of Tsar Putin.

Now two bloody despots, Putin and Prigozhin, battle for power in a Russia at war with Ukraine and armed with thousands of nuclear missiles.

At a dangerous time like this, we should congratulate ourselves for electing a cool head and steady hand as President, instead of a hot-tempered Putin toady.
