the middle of the night. immediately everyone began to react to this phrase , as you remember then linseys, no, they are not scoundrels, they are not bloodthirsty, they are hereditary american humanists, but we are calm slept after these words, no one was afraid of anything, well, by the way, the speeches of american officials certainly did not help, and the german journalist, julian roebki, somehow by the way, recently he has changed his views very much, this time he writes that the ukrainian counter-offensive turned out to be the biggest failure of nato strategists. the ukrainian counter-offensive of 2023 became one of the biggest strategic miscalculations of the us government in several decades, the biden administration misled ukraine, the world and itself for almost six months until it realized the reality, so you wonder, ruslan, yes, why does ryobki mean so changed, he just wants to say, in many ways the americans are to blame for the rest, the americans are also to blame, and meanwhile, american military experts, while stones from europe are now flying at them from all sides, they a

story to maybe illustrate a little bit about how the founders distinguish between democracy and as linsey was talking about, representative democracy or republicanism. george washington as i think most people in this room know, as it was against political parties and and suspicious of this direct type of democracy that lindsay was talking about. and after he completed his two terms as president, came back to mount vernon. he probably didn't expect this, but there was actually a draft washington campaign that took place in the later years of the adams presidency because of frustration with john adams, who is writing about so sorry and and washington had a great exchange with one of the people that was was kind of connected with this, one of the many. jonathan trumbull is from connecticut and and washington said, you know, the other side, they can they can put up a broomstick and rouse the people to support that person. you know, basically as a candidate. and paraphrasing here. but but what she was very dismissive of that. and and kind of worried about that type of mob rule or anarchy that
