In reply to the discussion: What a remarkable piece of writing in Putin's Editorial at the NYT [View all]nadinbrzezinski
(154,021 posts)I stopped doing dystopias. It is kind of hard to do dystopias when you read the news paper. Some of it I even write it.
And it is not that people are silly, they are just very ignorant and proud of it. I meant it when I said that most need to read that essay with at least a time line of events, with relevant quotes.
My editor asked me to write an editorial with these latest developments because it is very odd. For the moment I also included the CNN bit and the Russian stick... the Moskva battle group moving into the med.
Guns of August and interlocking alliances come to mind at the moment. I am almost betting NATO is going to at least a slightly higher alert. If there is anything but a sneeze in the Eastern Med, Article Five of the NATO charter might come into play. Oh and rockets red glare loses it's cache when it is one with an explosive warhead coming in your general direction.
