I hope both Putin and Biden are aware of what they’re playing with. Before WW I, Churchill wrote about the “wave of madness which has swept the mind of Christendom.” And Moltke (the German Chief of Staff) warned his government “The civilized states of Europe will begin to tear one another to pieces….” Yet both Moltke and Churchill were prepared to risk that annihilation, given the diplomacy within which they made their decisions.
Do we think too much of ourselves and not enough about Jesus’ words? What about, “He who would be the leader of all must first be the servant of all”?
