Russia, Ukraine seek to end gas feud at Yalta

Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin was to hold rare talks with his Ukrainian counterpart Yulia Tymoshenko on Thursday aimed at preventing a repeat of last winter's gas crisis. They will meet at the Livadia Palace in the Crimean resort of Yalta, the venue for the 1945 conference between Joseph Stalin, Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill where the Big Three leaders redrew the postwar map.

Blair Redux?

Is Tony Blair about to make the most remarkable political come back since Winston Churchill? The Blair Camp is playing down his chance of being chosen as the new President of the EU council variously putting it at “1 in 10” and “less than likely”. But the fact remains – as Sky News has consistently reported unlike almost all our British rivals – that the name of...

Russia, Ukraine prepare for energy conference

Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin will meet Thursday with his Ukrainian counterpart Yulia Tymoshenko for talks on energy amid unease in Europe over possible cuts in gas supplies this winter. The two premiers are due to meet at the Livadia Palace in Yalta, the venue for the historic Yalta Conference in 1945 between Joseph Stalin, Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill, said a Ukrainian official....

Winston Churchill Liveblogs World War II: November 13, 1939

November 13, 1939: On Friday, November 13, my relations with Mr. Chamberlain had so far ripened that he and Mrs. Chamberlain came to dine with us at Admiralty House, where we had a comfortable fiat in the attics. We were a party of four. Although we had been colleagues under Mr. Baldwin for five years, my wife and I had never met the Chamberlains in such Circumstances before. by happy chance...

Some Myths About The Afghan War

We need to disabuse ourselves of several untruths being told about our war efforts in Afghanistan. One is that we are fighting for democracy. Democracy is fine for Norway and Denmark but it is bad in war-torn places that are undeveloped because it becomes a patronage system for kickbacks being handed out to corrupt insiders. What we want is a competent government that can secure its own boundaries...

"Kurt, d' Mauer ist auf!"*--A Memory

Further to part of yesterday's post, comes now Paul Hollander, in an editorial published November 2, 2009 in The Washington Post (H/T Volokh ) writes: The Berlin Wall that came down 20 years ago this month was an apt symbol of communism. It represented a historically unprecedented effort to prevent people from "voting with their feet" and leaving a society they rejected. [Snip] Soviet communism...

Berlin Wall Season: Victims and Victors

The end of World War 2 was meant to be a victory of liberation from the hellfire of war on the European continent, and from the militaristic and genocidal tyranny of the Nazis and their allies in Italy, Croatia and elsewhere. For half of Europe it meant peace but only between states, not within. The United States initially took a fairly benign view of the Soviet Union and the Red Army’s presence...

Salim Mansur on the fall of the wall

A momentous event , but are we forgetting the evil that was communism? Twenty years ago on Nov. 9, a captive people of a divided continent literally with their hands dismantled the Berlin Wall. This wall represented not merely the totalitarian tyranny of Soviet Communism, but the eternal ugliness and evil of that inherent disposition in man to deny the freedom of another to live his life as he wishes....

In praise of… the diplomatic arts

If war is the continuation of politics by other means, the converse is also true. There are times when diplomatic words are fashioned into a weapon of attack, as France's Europe minister, Pierre Lellouche , demonstrated this week by telling the Guardian how "autistic" Tory plans to repatriate EU powers would "castrate" the nation, words surely designed to maximise collateral damage,...

Class act

A few years ago Roger Grimes took a royal roasting for telling an off-colour joke at a small, private gathering of business people in New York. It was inappropriate, to put it mildly. That’s why it so nice to see the decorum Grimes’ successor has brought to the office as he welcomed the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall yesterday in St. John’s. This came shortly after a plug...

Caitie Camera Card: A Selection

Three semi-random photos I just downloaded off my camera, in lieu of an actual post. My dear friend the_pixie_mouse is in town (from their home in the US) with her husband so they could attend some Hallowe'en parties, and a Samhain dinner being held by my girlfriend in Toronto. She's a big fan of costuming, and so Hallowe'en is one of her favourite times of year. She picked a theme for all three of...

Legends, Churchill & the BNP

I’ve recently finished the rather excellent comic book (note: I say “comic book” rather than “graphic novel”, which always struck me as a bit pretentious) series Preacher. In amongst the culture bashing and anti-god content I noticed a strong and prevailing theme: our ambivalent relationship to myths and legends. They exist for reasons yet almost entirely fail to inform...

SHAIK: Israel apologists shoot messenger

Editor's Note: During the Peel Commission of Inquiry in 1937 into the British Colonial offensive against the Palestinians who were revolting against British-supported Zionist colonisation, Prime Minister Winston Churchill justified the military action on the grounds of the racial superiority of the Jews to Arabs. That racism still drives the West's policies in the Middle [...] SHAIK: Israel apologists...
