New York Times reseña hoy día 12 que U.S. Carrier Intercepts Russian Bombers. La cosa sucedió en el Pacífico, pero la foto muestra que la RAF intercepta con sus Thyphoon a los TU-95 entre el Mar del Norte y el Ártico. Hace nada en el Golfo de Vizcaya... tal vez pronto, tal vez con base en Argelia...
El País, por su parte, titula Rusia amenaza con apuntar misiles a Ucrania.
En New York Post, uno de los más respetados comentaristas militares de los EE.UU, el conservador Ralph Peters, reseña en NATO's Check-UP. Europe Awakens to Reality la pasada 44ª Conferencia de Política de Seguridad de Munich, ya anotada aquí.
Peters es cautamente optimista. Una de sus razones: la posición establecida por Solana durante el debate. Así la comenta:
"And while a few more cups of coffee will be required, Europe's eyes are starting to open to our mutual security requirements. The genuine progress to date showed up in the remarks of Javier Solana, secretary-general of the European Union, who tore into Russia's Ivanov.
Solana criticized Russia's recent tantrums, from threats over Kosovo to the Kremlin's closing of British Council reading rooms in the Soviet Union (sorry, I meant the "Russian Federation"). He stated bluntly that there was "still no strategic convergence with Russia," that Putin's threat of a new arms race didn't do much for Russia's image, that Russia needs to respect the rule of law and become a "civilized state," and that the Putin Gang must stop threatening to cut off energy supplies in the dead of winter to punish its neighbors.
In a quasi-diplomatic setting, that amounted to a bare-knuckles smack-down."
