Echoes of annexation
Seven years ago, on August 8, 2008, Russian troops crossed national borders and attacked another sovereign state. Not many saw it coming. To the contrary, signs of escalation were ignored and warnings dismissed as groundless paranoia. The five-day war between Russia and Georgia sent shock waves across the international community at the time....
France and Russia reach warship agreement
France will refund all of the money Russia already paid for two undelivered Mistral warships, but the final sum will be lower than the almost €1.2 billion Russian media reported last week. The two countries signed a contract for the sale of the warships in 2011. The first ship was to be delivered in 2014. But under significant pressure from the...
What to watch: GOP candidates on foreign policy
Donald Trump says he would get along just fine with Vladimir Putin. Rand Paul would be open to engaging with Cuba, unlike other Republicans he calls “isolationist.” And every GOP candidate running for president hates the Iran nuclear deal, but not all will commit to getting rid of it.

The Army is giving heavier weapons to its frontline cavalry unit in Europe, while...
Chronicler of evil
If they made The Imitation Game about Alan Turing, the British mathematician who cracked Germany’s military code in World War II, they should make at least three movies about Robert Conquest, the Anglo-American Stanford University historian and poet, who died on Monday at the age of 98 in Palo Alto, California. The first would be about one...
Not invited: Poland’s Duda to Tusk
There’s little love being exchanged between Polish elites this week as President-elect Andrzej Duda prepared for his swearing-in at 10 a.m. CET in Warsaw on Thursday. Rumor spread online Wednesday that former Prime Minister Donald Tusk, now president of European Council, would be attending the ceremony. Nope. “President Tusk will not attend...
Obama channels JFK to pitch Iran deal
As he defends his nuclear deal with Iran, U.S. President Barack Obama is honing a larger vision of foreign policy — one in which military power alone can’t achieve the most important objectives, America is strongest when leading an international coalition, and even an imperfect agreement with a sworn enemy can be progress, not capitulation....
