A Unique Perspective

While there is little in the news these days that covers the Russia/Western Europe/USA issue in depth there are those who do examine it much closer. Unfortunately, much of it is too cerebral at this point for cable news channels to pick up on but for those interested in the subject matter some journalists have presented some unique perspectives.

Nile Gardiner has a unique take on the NATO/US/Russia issue:

It also pits much of continental western Europe against the new eastern and central European members of NATO. Above all it reflects a fundamental divide between Washington's vision of advancing and protecting liberty in eastern Europe, and Paris and Berlin's immediate concern of keeping the Russian bear happy. As Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili commented to the Financial Times on Merkel's call for a united front against his country's admission: "I think this is a very, very wrong argument. NATO united around what? Around appeasement? We've seen Europe united once like this in the last century and we saw where it led."
