I was glad to contribute to the roundtable on Mark Kramer’s excellent book. Perhaps the most interesting part was the news that Kramer will publish *next year* a three-volume series on the Soviet bloc, which promises to set a new standard and should be on everyone’s reading list

Again, for emphasis: russia has not agreed to ANYTHING. Nearly 100% of the media coverage presents the current situation as: if Ukraine agrees to giving up Donbas, there will be peace. That is not the case! Stop acting as if it were.

Just a reminder that the Washington Treaty defines the geography of NATO’s mutual defense pledge — at U.S. insistence in 1949 — to prevent allies from committing us to their wars outside of Europe.
