BEYOND UKRAINE, IS WORLD DEMOCRACY IN PERIL? Over the past few weeks, even a cursory reading of the media reminds us that (a) the country is fragmented, (b) voting in 2022 and 2024 is likely to be chaotic, (c) Russia's war against Ukraine is hybrid and has deployed elements beyond kinetic warfare, i.e., propaganda, disinformation, and cyberwar, and may well also include chemical and biological weapons, and even tactical nuclear weapons, (d) some of those weapons will also be used, or are being used, against the United States, (e) our world is dividing into defined camps of democratic governments versus autocratic governments. All this makes it increasingly clear that democracy is in peril.   That being the case, our ThinkTech Webinar panel program Burning Global Changes scheduled for 10 am on Friday April 1 is all the more relevant and important.   You can ignore these sea changes, and maybe there is nothing you can do about them, but make no mistake soon enough and perhaps very so

  WHILE EUROPE IS BURNING We Need to Remember that Rome (the U.S.) is Still Burning.  Ukraine Distracts us from the Problems at Home.  We should take stock of the domestic issues ThinkTech has been covering all along and how they've been doing while Europe is burning. This includes the GOP's continuing efforts to undermine elections and our democracy; the 2022 and 2024 elections; insurrection prosecutions; the January 6th investigation; terrorism; violence and gun control; racism and bigotry; covid and public health; climate change and clean energy; the economy and inflation; supply lines;   tax reform and wealth disparity; infrastructure; big tech abuses; abortion; immigration; social justice; poverty; judicial appointments; and of course Biden's various social and progressive initiatives tragically stuck in Congress. Check out ThinkTech's talk shows about the war crimes war against Ukraine, but also check out the ThinkTech talk shows that deal with the GOP's magic

  BURNING GLOBAL ISSUES Ukraine is of course at the top of the news, a shocking, outrageous, unjustified, murderous invasion of a peaceful neighboring country by Vladimir Putin.   We should all be very concerned about it - it’s a violation of international law and the liberal world order, and it’s only starting. With that in mind, ThinkTech has had a number of talk shows about various aspects of the crisis in Ukraine, and we will continue to cover the subject and a myriad of related issues and events for the foreseeable future.   To see some of these shows go to the Crisis in Ukraine playlist on our YouTube.com channel. In the process, we’ve found that we have the contacts and technology that allow us to bring shows on these critical and tragic events to our viewers.   We’ve found ways to connect with knowledgeable guests everywhere, including in Ukraine, and this has shown us that we can do this without being deterred by time zones, language or broadband. And that means we’ll do it
