Gerhard Schroeder ought to be prosecuted for his treasonous decision to phase out nuclear power (which left Germany at Gazprom's mercy).

Another thing, do you think Europe needs to have more favourable relations with Iran and other Middle Eastern countries, in order to counter Russia's energy weapon?

I've been reading this blog for a few months and always found it very insightful and interesting.

I agree with most of this entry and generally I find the British stance on Russia more sensible that the one prevailing in western continental Europe.

Anyway, I regret that either the EU institutions are empowered to enforce a real coordination of foreign relations and defence or<

Thanks Alex: you’re completely right!

Ernö: I don’t disagree with you that some Americans are wrong to look down on us with contempt. But I also do not think that they have done very many ‘bad’ things. On strategic affairs, they are often right (e.g. Georgia)! We both share the same values and history, and will need one another more and more in the future. A stronger Europe, in alliance

I'm sorry James, I had no bad intentions against you or the blog - it just makes me sad when I think about America and the bad things they've done (of course they did good things as well, but I can't stand when Americans say stupid things against Europeans - most often French). And I don't like when they say the saved us: from Nazism, bankruptcy, etc. Things aren't that simple: there are more

I am a great fan of this blog.

As for the appeasers - "An appeaser is some one who feeds the crocodile, and hopes it will eat him last". It is time for Germany and Italy (especially Germany in my opinion) to wake up. Russia is not an open democratic country, it is not a country who respects international relations, other countries, and freedom. It should be treated like the opressive

Dear Pēteris Cedriņš and Ernő: Thanks for your support. Glad you liked my piece. Although, Ernő, I'm not hostile to the United States! I'm not keen on statements like 'Redneck America', for example, and want to see a strong Atlantic Alliance, but also a strong and autonomous Europe.

Dear Kilikanzar: Again, thanks for your support. On the Roki Tunnel, I did say ‘His [Mr. Saakashvili’s]

Thanks again for a wonderful post. Just one correction - the Roki tunnel was built as a military object and is almost impossible to destroy from outside. It was built in 80's with a nuclear war in mind. One needs a very thoroughly prepared detonation in order to destroy it. Even if Georgian army succeeded in hitting it with the artillery, it would have been cleared within hours. Sad, but true.

I agree - excellent post! I'm in love with the last phrase: "Let us hope that, by invading Georgia, Mr. Putin and his gang may have inadvertently awoken a sleeping giant." I am a "Euro-fan" or how can I name my passion for Europe. And I hope that Europe will regain the leading post again that it lost in the two World Wars (and Europe itself threw it away). And I hope that the rule of redneck
