Sophisticated US leadership is the sine qua non of a stable world order.
However, we lack the former while the latter is getting worse.

9. Years ago, Zbig was on 'The Morning Joe Show' debating Scar about Israel and he said to Joe:

"You are stunningly superficial, I'm embarrassed for you".
It was quite the moment and Joe didn't take it too well, as one can imagine.
I'm sure there is footage out there somewhere.
I have often wondered what Zbig thought of Mika and Joe recently getting engaged.
Condolences to Mika and her family. I know she's always been crazy in love with her father (and her mother too).
