Missives from Dane
After six continents, 50 U.S. states, and over 100 countries and counting - I finally decided to start writing about the amazing people, crazy adventures, and unbelievable opportunities that have filled my life. Missives from Dane is a series of insights, ramblings, and hopefully occasionally inspiring thoughts from my life - on issues that are personal, professional, and just simply strange. I hope you enjoy them (or hopefully at least one of them).
the beacon of freedom must not be extinguished
Every country has the fundamental right to set their own domestic and foreign policy. But when the actions of leaders clothed in the regalia of tyranny and oppression imperil the basic human rights of their citizens and when their actions impact the state of world affairs and the safety and security of another country and by extension the world as a whole – as in the case of a dictator like Putin - governments and defenders of the free world must speak up and act.
