Lt. Gen. Frederick "Ben" Hodges, Commander of the U.S. Army in Europe on the threats and challenges facing the U.S. and lack of spare resources for crises
02/09/2015
Lt. Gen. "Ben" Hodges says today 9 out of 10 divisional headquarters are committed, a situation unprecedented even at the height of the U.S. action in Afghanistan and Iraq. New crises are emerging that no one could predict such as Islamic State and Ukraine in 2014. Spare resources to meet new threats are urgently needed but the army is limited by the sequestration budget cuts, sending the wrong type of message to bad actors in the Middle East and Europe, says Hodges. Senators generally think of their state first, Texans about Ft. Hood, Carolinans about Fort Campbell, but no one represents Fort Wiesbaden, Germany. Hodges is based at the U.S. army base in Wiesbaden, Germany.

Shift in Ukraine public opinion after the Russian intervention in Ukraine in 2014-2015
02/06/2015
One opinion poll shows 51% of people in the east now have a negative opinion of Russian intervention in Ukraine. Russian support was stronger in the east and south east of the country in areas around Donetsk and near the eastern border. Areas on the West closer to the border with Poland have significantly higher number of people favoring EU membership and ties to the EU. The shift in opinion in the east is significant. This shows the damaging effect on Ukraine-Russia relations of the intervention in Ukraine by Russia in 2014-2015. It is also one more reason for Russia to meet the terms of the Minsk II agreement and halt the fighting.

The lower prices at Sochi as a result of the recession in Russia are a plus for college students and others who can now afford to stay here on vacation. Not enough tourists means the rail line to the ski resorts runs on a limited schedule. Young people see this as a visit to their little corner of Europe, arousing patriotic feelings.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
