Six months after Putin’s intervention in Ukraine, efforts to solve the crisis are descending rapidly from the confused to the irrational.  Neither Russia nor the West seem able to comprehend that their relations will never return to “normal.” Or that rather than fixing a limited conflict at the periphery of the former Soviet Union, their task is to salvage what is left of the post 1990 vision for a new world order.    Neither side seems to know what it is doing.   Clowns are everywhere. http://www.welt.de/debatte/kommentare/article131971669/Die-Clowns-koennen-die-alte-Weltordnung-nicht-retten.html
