  • Neville Chamberlain was Right

    Appeasement? Well, getting back to real very lately after the republic was destroyed by the financial conditions.

  • Stabilizing the Stans

    The West should not wilder in the Russian sphere of influence. Stability is no goal per se, democratic process is more important.

  • Italy’s Last Democratic Despot

    There is still a likelihood of desintegration of Italy. And given that the Tyrol question is still unresolved, the bounty for Italian disloyalty in WWI, we still see options. Italy should sell Tyrol back to Austria. After Berlusconi Italy is busy to restore good governance or Italian federalism is doomed.

  • The Ethics of Internet Piracy

    Don't expect the European Parliament to grant consent to the ACTA. It was screwed by the trade department under Commissioner De Gucht. Secret international regulatory negotiations without parliament oversight are against the spirit of the Lisbon treaty, simply unacceptable. And while I appreciate the closing of megaupload, Google's youtube is not unlike that. New Zealand is not part of the United States, so what is the role of the FBI over there?
