Did you notice a simple example this week of how history repeats itself? History is so important because we tend to repeat it, often without realizing it.
It was in the news this week that a Russian intelligence agent attempted to gain access to the International Criminal Court (ICC) in the Netherlands, by applying to be an intern.
What do you notice here? This follows exactly the same pattern as Peter the Great, the best-known tsar of the Romanov Dynasty, moving to the Netherlands and getting a job working incognito in a Dutch shipyard, in order to learn ways to best modernize his own country.
Here is a link to the compound posting on this blog, "How History Repeats Itself":
