Wow, well, how is this news? The NYT has a piece today about how Russia envisions a new order in Eastern Europe, which looks suspiciously like the older, more Soviet order that was there before. Well, duh. Sorry super leftwingers- despite getting Louis Vuitton salesperson Mikhail Gorbachev to write, ever so sincerely of course, that realy, Russia did not want a war, it seems that everbody...
