 to see what's going on, the question might be is why are we in the crisis that we are? Why are we in the mess that we are in in the Ukraine? Why are we in the mess that we are, we meaning the United States, in the Middle East? Why are we in the mess of a potential problem with China and Taiwan? Why are we in the mess of sub-Saharan Africa right now where there's more innocent people being killed than in Gaza?
