Special Article Part 1 Finished!

New Deal for Russia --Old Deal for the US

Is Putin Russia’s FDR?

I finally finished that special article for coffee buyers.

After more than a dozen rewrites, it turned out to be quite long— so I have broken it into two parts.

Many thanks to the messages which people sent me – keeping me working.

The first part – Part One – is about 2600 words.

It deals largely with Putin's over two hour Address to the Federal Assembly and his SixYear Plan for Russia, which I have elsewhere called Russia's “New Deal ” and offers an interesting comparison with FDR's policies.

I've also referenced Putin's recent interview on Russian TV, which is an hour and 1/2 long. Not to mention both American and Soviet history.

The article is pretty complicated. Maybe too complicated for my atrophying brain. So naturally I had to render it in terms that I could understand – with pictures.

I just finished doing one proof-read. And, of course. uncovered a zillion typos and other evidence of senility which began when I was five years old and discovered that spelling was the work of the devil.

Part Two has been written – and rewritten a couple of times— so that should be available hopefully next week. That one deals with Biden and US policy. Many thanks for your support and your patience.

After a second rewrite – and checking links— which sometimes don't connect, kinda like my brain— I will email a zip file with both a Word document and a PDF.

If you have about me a coffee recently a new want to read this article, buy me a coffee here and I will add you to the list.

If you don't get an article, please please use Substack’s direct message system to let me know.

Thank you!
