Trump Enforces Obama’s Red Line

Hey, remember that time Hitler launched missile strikes in punitive response to a dictator who attacked civilians with chemical weapons?

Me neither.

Quite likely this relegates news of the Senate “Nuclear Option” and Xi Xin-ping’s visit down to page 2.

An Expat Russian’s Open Letter To His Former Countrymen

This part of Maksim Frank-Kamenetsky's letter is particularly astute:

Russians don't understand this is not what it's all about. Americans don't give a damn about Crimea and they don't care a straw about Ukraine either (or about Russia, for that matter). But they do give a damn about stability in Europe. Americans are not good at geography, but they a have a good memory and they remember that twice in the 20th century thousands of American boys died in Europe because Europe was incapable of solving its own problems."
