Florida Representative Debbie Wasserman-Schultz has announced she will resign as chair of the Democratic National Committee. The resignation is to become effective after the party's convention. The organisation's e-mail system was hacked; leaked e-mails appear to confirm accusations that Wasserman-Schultz had taken action favouring Hillary Clinton in her contest against Bernie Sanders to become the Democratic Party's presidential nominee. Sanders had previously called for Wasserman-Schultz to resign, a request he reiterated in light of the leak.
Wasserman-Schultz said in a statement:
I know that electing Hillary Clinton as our next president is critical for America's future. I look forward to serving as a surrogate for her campaign in Florida and across the country to ensure her victory.

One thing to remember, before the end of World War 2 the whole of Europe and much of Russia was always at constant war and/or under attack from one side or the other. This is something Americans cannot comprehend with the big moat and friendly neighbors that surround it. Recent failures of containment notwithstanding the 71 years of relative peace is absolutely unprecedented. Such is the benefit of the "irresistible force". Poor Ukrainians! (not being sarcastic) Stuck between Europe and Russia, still suffering the 2000 (3000 - 4000 - who knows how long?) year old war. They are stuck in the prison yard being forced to join sides. Nobody can just leave them alone. It is catastrophic and pathological. It does really suck.
