Felicitări! But, of course, were one an alarmist, one might think that, suitably twisted into an allegation of election fraud or the like, this otherwise happy result could serve as a pretext for a nasty, imperialist neighbor to come to … Continue reading →

Scare-o-flot

The Gormogons Posted on February 24, 2009 by Confucius, Œc. Vol.February 24, 2009

Great piece by Confucius’s former colleague, Reuben Johnson, on some crazy, crazy goings-on on Aeroflot. What makes it brilliant is Reuben’s tying Aeroflot’s cavalier disregard for international regulations with the Russian government’s general conduct. In a larger sense this episode … Continue reading →

RFE/RL Roundup: Bear Watching

The Gormogons Posted on September 24, 2008 by Confucius, Œc. Vol.September 24, 2008

Nice gesture by Medvedev; let’s hope he does more. Too bad Stalin’s the “strong Russia” model Putin is going for. The Russia Lobby continues to press Washington. Matlock’s arguments about the effects of admitting Georgia and Ukraine aren’t trivial, but … Continue reading →

Fukuyama against Georgian NATO membership

The Gormogons Posted on September 5, 2008 by Confucius, Œc. Vol.September 5, 2008

Here. As I think I’ve argued somewhere (oh yeah, here, though sketchily), the West has a fair number of cards to play against a revanchist, expansion-minded Russia. NATO membership is one. If it’s as transparently a bluff as Fukuyama says, … Continue reading →
