## Resource

„The world is breaking down,“ says historian Timothy Snyder. And we need to learn because the world is changing. · He sees the Russian state very clearly: „Russia is losing this war.“ · He claims that the US cannot win a war in Iran: „Mr. Trump has no idea what an actual war is. He doesn't really know what it involves.“ · Why does Donald Trump have problem with Pope Leo? „Because Donald Trump thinks he's God and Pope Leo doesn't agree.“ · Snyder talks about consequences of Donald Trump's politics on American society: „The president of United States lies about pretty much everything all the time.“ · He stresses out the crucial role of oligarchs: „The obvious move is either to destroy the government or to take control of the government.“ · He states that free public media are important for the society: „The Czech Republic absolutely should have public media.“ · And he knows what part of the day he's enjoying the most: „Those 15 minutes a day when I get to be a historian, that makes me really happy.“
