I’ve been writing about domestic issues and my Connecting the Dots ideas in my blog posts over the last few months. That means that my professional attention has shifted away from the other parts of the world that I focused on in my years as a political science and even in most of my career as a peacebuilder. Nonetheless, as someone who taught a lot about the former Soviet Union and is married to someone who was a Soviet analyst and worked on that part of the world well into 2000s, events in Ukraine were on my radar screen long before the current crisis began.

Thank you Chip for this heartfelt and thoughtful expression of the angst that you and so many of us feel about the present situation.
