UHProf Craig Pirrong/SWP: Merkel in Moscow: A Laudable Sentiment, A Misguided Message, and a Lost Opportunity
http://streetwiseprofessor.com/?p=9365
"By visiting Kiev, Merkel could have sent a very different message. She
could have paid homage to those that Germany victimized from 1941-1945,
while also saying that the lesson and legacy of the Second World War
should be that large aggressive nations should not dominate small and weak
ones. Should could have implicitly upbraided Putin, given support to
those he wants to dominate, and made amends for wrongs that Germany
inflicted on non-Russians.
Merkel walked a thin line, but she could have walked a much better one."
fyi,
MP
