Watch the Russians: Kremlin Puts Foreign NGO’s on Notice - New York Times

As the article below further documents, Russia continues to march deeper into the darkness of authoritarianism. While our #1 problem in the world today is still clearly the rise of Islamic extremism, Russia bears close watching by those in power. So far Russia as played the role of spoiler, akin to a somewhat more intractable France, but that might be only the beginning, as I believe we may be just a step or two away from the Russian return to the Cold War days of fighting proxy wars for global power and influence.

More reason why we have to find ways to make common cause with China. Call out to Kissinger...
