Western Leadership Crisis as the World Burns: Who Fills the Power Vacuum?

MT799 Authenticated | Independent Contributors Column

Dear Subscribers,

Welcome to MT799 Authenticated, Barbershop Whispers….Russia's (BWR) independent contributors column, which is published on Wednesdays from time to time. The independent contributors are seasoned experts in Russian geopolitics, domestic politics, and business.

The views of MT799 contributors are their views and not necessarily the opinions of BWR or e8Q Technologies LLC.

Publisher’s Note:

With the rise of global illiberalism, far-right parties in Western countries, and war in Europe, we invited Kenneth Dekleva, a seasoned retired US diplomat, practicing psychiatrist, and professor of Psychiatry at UT Southwestern Medical Center, to share his thoughts on the state of Western leadership in today’s World.

As Lenin said—*вся власть советам—and filled the vacuum of power in October 1917, who will fill the vacuum today?

(*All power to the Soviets!)
