All over Africa, South and Central America and Asia, we are confronted by the financial and human costs of the ego-driven decisions of autocrats. The latest is Vladimir Putin, acting like a royal bastard. He is a small man who needs big actions to convince himself he’s not a small man. His acts are triggering awful instability in Ukraine, extensive demands on resources in all involved countries, international actions in support of Ukraine. This is nothing the Russian people asked for or want.
We live in an interconnected world, but it’s too often interconnected by fear, abuse of power and governments that represent the interests of the few and not of the people.
