This is a very important point that gets lost in all the current concern about the political changes in Russia. LM acted at the behest of the US government to give Russian scientists work as the Cold War wound down. It was better to become the customers of the Russian rocket makers than to see their work go to the highest bidder, who might have been anyone.

Hello, Dr. Spivey. Thank you for your dedication to medicine and for sharing your time with us today. I'm an American with a significant amount of experience as a patient within the US healthcare system. The way we distribute and pay for healthcare is an ongoing source of frustration and consternation for me. As a patient, I understand the argument for a 'Medicare for All' approach to this question, from repeated struggles to obtain necessary care and in dealing with mountains of paperwork. As a former CEO of healthcare organizations, what is your point of view? Thank you very much!

Zelenskyy has a law degree. That’s his educational background. You may also be familiar with Senator Al Franken, who work as a comedic writer and actor on Saturday Night Live before putting his Harvard University degree to use in politics. Comedians are actually a very bright bunch.
