The brave new defenders of Russian imperialism on the American Left have thus suddenly found their arguments for fake Ossetian self-determination on Georgian soil dealt a sudden blow.

John Bolton argues that the future of Russian imperialism in Eurasia rides on the outcome of the US presidential election. Unsurprisingly, he pitches McCain: &#8220;First reactions, before the campaigns’ pollsters and consultants get involved are always the best indicators&#8230;McCain at once grasped the larger, geostrategic significance of Russia’s attack.&#8221;
That&#8217;s evidently a sentiment shared [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes you just have to step back and gape at the truly contemptible nature of certain elements of the antiwar movement. It&#8217;s incredible how segments of an allegedly pacifist, anti-imperialist movement, have become willing, wholesale and even eager apologists for naked Russian imperialism over the course of a week.
