Dire warnings

Dire warnings about the doings of autocrats and dictators:

M. Gessen, “Maduro’s Ouster Plays Right Into Putin’s Hands” (The New York Times , gift link).

Brynn Tannehill, “Trump Has Started Carving Up the World. Now It’s Putin and Xi’s Turn” (The New Republic ).

Notice especially Fiona Hill’s warning in 2019 about a swap of Venezuela for Ukraine.
