Dear CCI Friends,
We’ve been silent during this horrific period in world history; however, seems to us that the gravity of combined disasters are educating everyone concerning the devastating international circumstances ahead … unless current Democratic leaders are stopped in their tracks. We among many, many Democrats will not be voting our party in the nearest future.

Biden’s Foreign Policy Sinking His Party & Ukraine
Jeffrey D. Sachs says the U.S. president’s dismissal of diplomacy undermines his own party, prolongs the destruction of Ukraine and threatens nuclear war.
November 2, 2022
By Jeffrey D. Sachs
President Joe Biden is undermining his party’s congressional prospects through a deeply flawed foreign policy.
Biden believes that America’s global reputation is at stake in the Ukraine War and has consistently rejected a diplomatic off-ramp. The Ukraine War, combined with the administration’s disruptions of economic relations with China, is aggravating the stagflation that will likely deliver one or both houses of Congress to the Republicans.
Far worse, Biden’s dismissal of diplomacy prolongs the destruction of Ukraine and threatens nuclear war.
Biden inherited an economy beset by deep disruptions to global supply chains caused by the pandemic and by former President Donald Trump’s erratic trade policies. Yet instead of trying to calm the waters and repair the disruptions, Biden escalated the U.S. conflicts with both Russia and China.
