EURASIA NEWS AND ANALYSIS

Good Morning America and Good Morning Eurasia,

While many Americans trace their roots to the nations of Europe and Asia, some still retain their mother tongue, other descendants of our early pioneers, seek to discover their Old World heritage, one thing is certain...Europe and Asia are in chaos. Whether from the chaos of Covid-19 and its variants, Russia's war Ukraine, or the current crises in Taiwan/South China Sea or in the Middle East, with Iraq, Iran, and Afghanistan, THE WORLD IS IN CRISIS. Parts of Eurasia are on fire or waiting to explode.  America, as a great power, since WWI and WWII, can either embrace "the America First mentality" and ignore the rest of the world, or decide that its founding ideals and principles are still worth inspiring other citizens around the global, as our nation can once again sends a beacon of hope, as it has done from the early days of our struggle for Independence to the rest of the word, that ideals and freedom are worth fighting for.

We, at The Eurasia Center, seek to build positive relations among the nations and peoples of America, Europe and Asia. However, that does not mean turning a blind eye to the unjust and inhumane practices being conducted by other nations against their people and citizenry. In Russia, one man, Alexei Navalny, had the courage to voice his opposition to the theft of democracy and protest against the rampant corruption within Russia. He has risked his life to make a statement and will become a martyr for the Democracy Movement within Russia. Many people have had their democratic future robbed within the past several years, Afghanistan, Hong Kong, Iraq, Ukraine, Myanmar, among others. As Americans, we may not be able to influence or change the authoritarian minds of dictators ruling countries within Eurasia, but we can make it known that we do not condone such behavior. The winds of change will bring new leaders, new ideas, and new hope to those that are enslaved.

The gift of democracy from Ancient Greece and the idea of the Republic from Ancient Rome, are part of the heritage which our Founding Fathers embraced to start the great American Experiment in Democracy. It is an experiment that survived the National Nightmare of January 6th, but as with any civil society in America or around the globe, if strong men and strong women do not stand up for their rights then radicals or usurpers can alter the very course of history and lead nations and peoples down dangerous and treacherous paths.  These are the lessons of history - the demagogue, the dictator, the usurper, from Ancient times until the present. Good citizens must demand a system that gives a chance for all citizens to organize and form political parties in order to enable fair elections and honest leaders to come forward and thrive. Only then can citizens be proud of their Government and begin to trust their Government officials, rather than having what has occurred in Belarus to continue, which is the true theft of a democratic election and the abuse of its own citizenry by a dictator-in-chief. Some may be willing to live like sheep and agree to the powers that be, yet only when good citizens unite and resist, in whatever way they can, then ultimately the legacy of the dictator, the demagogue, and the usurper, and their minions end. It is time to recognize the illusion painted by state propaganda on state television or on television news shows that which consistently denies the truth and place the lives of its viewers in jeopardy. To ignore the safety and health of the citizenry is to be negligent of the most basic rules of government, protecting the citizenry - to guarantee the general welfare. To believe in conspiracy theories is becoming an international sickness, a virus of its own making, spread via the internet to deceive weak-minded individuals during dangerous times.

The Eurasia Center supports ideals of America. The freedom of religion, speech, press, assembly, and the right to petition. President Roosevelt offered four freedoms on his Annual Address to Congress on January 6, 1941 - the four freedoms - freedom of worship, press,  freedom from want, and freedom from fear. Please consider supporting our efforts to support the ideals of peace, liberty and toleration, which form the backbone of our nation.

Thank you for your support over the past 30 years, as we continue to find solutions to "Help the World Find Peace." Please consider supporting our Programs as we continue to deliver Great Projects and Great Programs!
