A Unique Perspective
While there is little in the news these days that covers the Russia/Western Europe/USA issue in depth there are those who do examine it much closer. Unfortunately, much of it is too cerebral at this point for cable news channels to pick up on but for those interested in the subject matter some journalists have presented some unique perspectives.

Mikheil Saakashvili commented to the Financial Times on Merkel's call

century and we saw where it led."
