A wise person once said “with all thy getting, get understanding.” That was a while ago, but it applies even more to today’s world situation, especially the Ukraine. Our immediate assumption has been that Russia is the aggressor, and indeed, she may very well be. But someone else also said: “there are two sides to every story”. We have only seen one side, the Ukraine side. So the question is: if we knew both sides, would our attitude toward Russia be different? Do we really need another Cold War?
