Spookacracy?
The following may have some appeal in some appeal in it's "quirkyiness" and convoluted logic "NATO and Ukraine: who needs the other more?"
But the following is DOWNRIGHT TERRIFYING esp. in it's use of the word "preventively" when applied to the use of nuclear weapons. "Russian General Yuri Baluyevsky, who declared over the weekend on government-owned national television that "We do not intend to attack anyone, but we consider it necessary for all our partners in the world community to clearly understand that to defend the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Russia and its allies, military forces will be used, including preventively, including with the use of nuclear weapons." (Publius Pundit)
And imho I do hope that Edward Lucas has a section relating to relations with Ukraine in his upcoming study. "The New Cold War: How the Kremlin Menaces both Russia and the West". (mentioned in "We must not cave in to the spookocracy in the Kremlin" Times Online)
