Attacking clergy & paying no attention to pleas from Catholic Bishops are clues to how this nation is unravelling in the midst of war in Europe. Totalitarian policies by our governing Troika -- that is : POTUS Trump, Speaker Johnson, and C.J. Roberts-- are on full display in Chicago. Ah "Under God?"

The US retreat from an effective defense of European nations --even those who were invaded by their neighbors' aggressive military-- is an example of the nadir of American power that the Chinese and North Koreans are watching very carefully. Xenophobic, isolationism in the US fuels disorder & war.
The russians don't want peace, and in fact they never wanted it, because they started the invasion in the first place.
