    Rational, Ruthless, Resilient - The 3 Rs of Dictatorship Dec 15, 2022
    Show notes

    The authritarian psychology, with Ken Dekleva, our (fascinating) Foreign Service psychiatrist. Dictators respect only strength, negotiating with maximalist demands, getting as much as they can by giving as little as they can. As they grow older, they may become more rigid, threatening their grip on publics and opponents. Contrast Putin, who undid 30 years of progress in the former Soviet Union in the first week of war in Ukraine, with Zelensky's courage and heroism. The difference? One approach grows more isolationist, while the other is often an ordinary person, doing what they are trained to do, to help someone in need. Wow.

    Show notes

    Dr. Ken Dekleva, former foreign service psychiatrist, explains that for diplomats stressors are always high but especially so in places like China, where US diplomats are subject to Covid lockdowns that separate children from their parents, or war zones, or heavily surveilled postings like Moscow, and many more. But the part to tune in for is the closing song, written just for Doc Dekleva. It's not bad!

    Maikel Nov 18, 2022
    Show notes

    A licenced architect in Cuba, our friend Maikel was forced to leave in order to avoid being jailed by the Cuban state. In a perilous, many-legged journey, here he is, after planes and boats, jungles and rivers, detention centers and now free but unentitled to work until his hearing, which is scheduled for 2025. And for Cubans, this journey is relatively painless, compared to everyone else forced to migrate by circumstance. We are honored to hear Maikel share his story of Cuba and his new life here.
