US left isolated over Nato plans to maintain relations with Russia - Telegraph
US diplomats attending an emergency NATO summit in Brussels had called on the alliance to suspend ministerial meetings with Russia, held twice a year, as a way of demonstrating the West's disapproval of the war.
But other members of the alliance, including Britain, rejected the plan, saying that it would be foolish to isolate Russia. Instead diplomats released their strongly-worded statement, stopping short of concrete action, at least for now.
No matter how they arrange their public faces, the truth is that significant elements of Euro governments are pleased to see The Bear offer what looks like a realistic military counter-balance to the American “hyper-power.”


The CDT strikes again.
