People who strategize national security game out all kinds of possibilities. How unlikely would it

have looked two years ago that
1. the UK would be on the brink of dissolving, at the same time that
2. the chief executive of the US is a known Russian agent who operates in the interests of Russia over the
interests of the US without exception.

Somewhere out there, someone put that series of events out there. He or she was right.

Unimaginable.

How we get from here back to democracy could be guided well by this excellent book which is available for free download on the Albert Einstein Institution website, which the author, Gene Sharp, founded.
