Peace in our Time?

September 5, 2014 by Ernestine Meyer

A draft truce has been agreed to between Kiev and the Donbas — anyone think this one is going to last? I would think it depends greatly on whether the two sides can agree on what constitutes the new borders and thus how much territory Kiev will effectively cede.

For an interesting outlook on Putin’s plan for Ukraine and a controversial concept for thwarting it, see the latest issue of Foreign Policy at http://tinyurl.com/o4yqjo8.

For background on Anne Applebaum’s contention in The Washington Post that Putin might be willing to drop a nuke on Warsaw or Tallinn, see http://tinyurl.com/l69waxs.
