About this listen
An Estonian proverb says, “He who steers must watch the horizon.” There is probably no shortage of maritime proverbs around the world, but this one seemed most appropriate for the Mosaic Ark’s discussion for tonight, which was “Watch the waterways!” President Trump, captain of our particular ship, is steering us through some strange waters that seem to the untrained eye to appear from out of nowhere. “Why are we capturing ships in Venezuela?!” “Why are we threatening to take over Greenland?!” “Why Iran? Why NOW?!” Professor Rachel Fulton Brown looks to the horizon and backwards at the long wake of history, and states what should be obvious: Stop paying attention to the land borders on a map called “countries,” and watch the waterways!—Streamed April 17, 2026
