Cyprus is so beautiful. Dmitry Laskaris says it is being taken over by Israelis. Hope he is wrong.
Cyprus was perhaps beautiful in the days before these ghastly modern buildings mushroomed all over the place. I prefer it when Alex is back in Athens, where at least we see something of an ancient city.
Thanks to Alex and Alexander for their tireless effort and dedication day after day, delivering serious analyses of current geopolitical events. I don’t know how they keep going and keep sane in this ocean of bad news, depressing events, and bellicose and moronic people who rule our world at the moment. I would hope that both Alexes take a well-deserved break once in a while to recuperate.
One of the problems with the US is that they don’t know that negotiations take time. If they can’t get things sorted to their satisfaction within a few weeks, then forget about it. In their view the other side doesn’t want peace. That’s what you get when you have seasoned diplomats on one side and US senators with no background in diplomacy on the other.
