Another interesting article, though I wish it was longer and a bit more detailed in regards to Russia establishing relations and close ties with anti-EU and anti-NATO parties on the right and left in Europe. By no means is it anything new, rather an old Soviet tactic, but still interesting nonetheless. "If it isn't broke, don't fix it."

"The use of force is always an answer to problems. Whether or not it's a satisfactory answer depends on a number of things, not least the personality of the person making the determination. Force isn't an attractive answer, though. I would not be true to myself or to the people I served with in 1970 if I did not make that realization clear."
