I thought through several topics for this month’s newsletter, but it seemed impossible to write about anything other than the situation in Ukraine. There is no doubt that we are living through a historic moment, which is uncomfortable as a historian whose job it is to write about historic moments. Granted, my discomfort is nothing compared to people living in a war zone, but I am sure that we’d all like to know how this catastrophe is going to end.
I think uncertainty is our greatest fear. While I do believe the end of this conflict is far from over, I am hopeful our leaders will keep their wits about them and de-escalate the situation. Nuclear war would be a game loser for everyone. No one would come out the victor in this scenario.
