Summary/Abstract

The Democrats who lost the 2016 elections and Donald Trump who beat them are much more alike in their talk and deeds than one might think. Both told their respective electorates that the U.S. had fallen victim to hostile foreign forces. Apparently, the problem is not that the Democrats have suffered a defeat, but that the U.S. has lost sight of the limits to what it can do in the world.

Summary/Abstract

Hoping for direct contact with the American people, U.S. filmmaker Oliver Stone made a documentary about Russian President Vladimir Putin. Asking "why Putin" makes just as much sense as asking why acclaimed Russian director Andrei Zvyagintsev told a story about a family that does not love its child even though there are so many loving families around. Art explores equally those who are right and those who are wrong--Hellenes and Jews, enslaved and free people--often giving even more attention to those in the wrong. For Stone, Putin is someone who loves or tries to love.
