In a recent NYTimes article, “In New Memoir, Merkel Talks Putin and Trump” about Angela Merkel’s memoir, “Freedom: Memoirs 1954-2021” this picture appears:
The tough Real Politik negotiator crowd will doubtless applaud Putin’s maneuver. To me, it just speaks to his personal insecurity and Russia’s weakness in general. The history of these two countries, just since 1900, is littered with millions of lost lives and destroyed lands. There is so much more at hand than one petty tyrant mobilizing the fears of another leader. Two World Wars and the effective occupation of half of Germany for nearly 45 years. Really, a black labrador???
