Well, it depends. Modern(ist) architecture came about in the 1920s.

I, of course, disagree.

What you do is a big part of who you are.

You're becoming your enemy, which to me suggests that you've given up.

He's uncomfortable with the government's pro-Russian turn - he's not as fond of Putin or Russia as the rest of the administration is - but that's not because he stands for principles such as the rule of law.

Doing as the Russians do is apparently just fine with him.

I suppose it's too much to ask that they spare us from the fucking self-righteous lectures while they help their mad king - and every other bastard dictator - destroy what remains of international law, to drag the entire human world into a new age of unchecked autocracy & brutal imperial wars.

Is there any better choice as ambassador to Finland than a metal band lead singer?? I’m thinking no

Probably why they invented smooth jazz - elevator music...

Could be racism.

Could be because it's not "radio-friendly". It doesn't follow those patterns.

Jazz challenges the listener. It can sound chaotic to the untrained ear. That makes some people feel uncomfortable.

Or maybe 2013-2014 and the Revolution of Dignity?

What dignity means in this context isn't very well understood.

I always say, look at Russia to see what living without dignity means.

The USA is learning as it moves in the other direction - as it stops being a rule-of-law state.

Only a twisted mind thinks Europe wants war and US wants peace.

US amasses forces to strike Venezuela, threatens multiple nations, rips up its alliances and rewards Putin's genocidal invasion.

Europe is so afraid of war it won't even defend a European democracy's civilians from terror bombing.

It's been 300 years of the same.
