What's with this guy? I can't figure out what's gotten into his britches. He's pretty good at hiding any info that might give some clues to where he's coming from.

Outright pining for the AntiChrist? Just good old fashioned arrogance? What's the deal?

None of these folks like peons with freedom. What gives?

You are off-base here. Although Brzezinski is still a Democrat (from the days when the party was to the right of most of today's Republican senators) as well as a "new world order" theorist and a political "realist", he is also known for his independence of opinion, and was hawkish during the Carter Administration when the Democrat Party was dovish.

He also his Polish homeland to the traumatic and deadly Soviet/Nazi invasion when he was 11 years old. Decades later, after having attained influence here in the U.S., he worked to help free Poland from Soviet domination, forming an alliance with the former Polish Pope in support of the overthrow of Soviet rule in Poland, for which he was in 1995 awarded the Order of the White Eagle, Poland's highest civilian decoration.

Born in 1928, Brzezinski witnessed the rise of the Nazis as a child, since his Polish diplomat father was posted to Germany 1931-35, to the Soviet Union during Stalin's Great Purge '36-'38, and in 1938 to Canada. While the family was there, the Nazis and Soviets invaded Poland in 1939, preventing the family from returning to their homeland.

He remains on the faculty of the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies in DC. I may not agree with many of his positions, but fair is fair on this Forum.
