Rogers City – On Thursday at 7 p.m., the Rogers City Zonta is sponsoring an important livestream program titled "Boiling Point: How America Brought War to Ukraine."
The speaker is Stephen Kinzner, former New York Times foreign correspondent and currently senior fellow in international and public affairs at Brown University.
Kinzer has written about regime changes and how the U.S. has affected or attempted political change in countries in the Middle East and Central America. He analyzes the use of military changes, as well as how soft power is wielded through humanitarian organizations. He also criticizes the mainstream press and its one-sided coverage of international events that demonizes American opponents rather than looking more deeply.
Kinzer's experience as a journalist in Nicaragua, Germany, and Turkey, plus his research in Iran and Africa, have provided him with material for his books. In his writing he has examined 14 times he says the U.S. has been involved in overthrowing foreign governments. In recent interviews he has proposed a second book about U.S. influence in more countries. He regularly publishes articles on this subject in mainstream media outlets.
This event is sponsored by Rogers City Zonta through The International Affairs Forum of Traverse City in conjunction with Northwestern Michigan College. This program will be at 7 p.m. in the Rogers City Council Chambers in Rogers City Hall at 193 E. Michigan Avenue. Light refreshments are available prior to the event.
This will be the final program in this series for 2026.
