Boardroom Talk – Real reason US sacrificed so many in WW2 – and gives money to Ukraine

By Alec Hogg

Andreas Kluth, a columnist for our partners at Bloomberg, yesterday issued a warning to his global readership — and to Elon Musk in particular — about the potential repercussions of allowing Putin to have his way in Ukraine (read here). To drive home his point, Kluth referenced history, going back precisely 85 years, urging indecisive democrats to engage in second-level thinking.

However, the argument becomes even more compelling when we extend the historical lens to include America's past, specifically the famous Gettysburg Address by Abraham Lincoln in 1863 (pic above). Delivered at a pivotal moment in the Civil War — a conflict rooted in slavery and the belief that all men are created equal — Lincoln's words emphasised that the very experiment of democracy was hanging in the balance.
