Good leaders need to be courageous (in addition to other skills like wisdom, etc.). In the end, whether acts of intimidation are occurring at the macro- or at the micro-levels, Bambi sees a similarity: Omitting to interfere to stop an abusive process between two (or more) countries\/entities, or empowering the source of the abuse, becomes part of the abuse, even with the best intentions in the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mr. Biden changed his position about China\u2019s current genocide of the Uighurs (https:\/\/www.rfa.org\/english\/news\/uyghur\/account-02242021183743.html).
