There ARE red lines

With the accelerating tensions between East and West over Ukraine we are moving unpleasantly close to the brink.

Naive Europeans ignorant of East European culture and feelings should be careful what they do.

This is even more the case for departing American presidents. And the consequences of permitting Ukraine to use US missiles against Russian territory risk being infinitely more devastating than those of the storming of Congress.

I never imagined that I would say this:

I sincerely hope that Donald Trump arrives in time to move humankind back from the brink of self-annihilation.
