Russia and North Korea forge ‘year of friendship’ pariah alliance by Justin McCurry in Tokyo
Neighbouring regimes declare closer co-operation as Kremlin’s role in Ukraine conflict and Kim Jong-un’s pursuit of nuclear weapons deeply rankle with west
Russia and North Korea have announced they will deepen economic and political ties under the banner of a “year of friendship” – a development that could further complicate the west’s attempts to deal with an increasingly belligerent Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un’s recalcitrant regime in Pyongyang.
The prospect of closer co-operation between Putin’s Kremlin and a pariah state with realistic nuclear ambitions will dismay the US, Britain and other countries hoping to pressure Pyongyang into ditching its ambitions to become a nuclear power, and to dissuade Russia from fuelling the war in Ukraine.

Forty-seven Republican senators started a political firestorm with an open letter to Iran warning that any nuclear deal made with the Obama administration could be undone by a future U.S. president. Both sides of the argument have taken to the airwaves to protest. But the bottom line is how — if at all — will the letter affect negotiations as the U.S. and its partners try to reach a framework agreement with Iran by their end-of-March deadline.

Iran's Supreme Ayatolah Slams Republican Senators' Letterby webdesk@voanews.com (VOA News)
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei criticized an open letter sent by 47 U.S. Republican Senators to Tehran about the ongoing negotiations on Iran's nuclear program, saying the move showed "disintegration" in U.S. politics. The letter warns that the next U.S. president could revoke any deal Iran may reach with a group of six world powers. Those talks are due to resume Sunday as the two sides seek an interim agreement by the end of the month. Iranian state media quoted the supreme leader as saying he is concerned about what he called "backstabbing" in the negotiation process. He said that the international group, particularly the U.S., takes a harsher tone when the two sides get close to the end of the talks. Iran has insisted it is not trying to build nuclear weapons. The United States, Britain, China, France, Russia and Germany are seeking assurances that the Iranian nuclear program is peaceful in exchange for lifting economic sanctions. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said Wednesday the letter left him in "utter disbelief," and that Congress does not have the right to modify an agreement reached between the leaders of countries. He called the Republican letter irresponsible. "No one is questioning anybody's right to dissent. But to write to the leaders in the middle of a negotiation.....and suggest they're going to give a constitutional lesson, which by the way is incorrect, is quite stunning," Kerry said. Kerry told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that the letter written by Arkansas freshman Senator Tom Cotton undermines U.S. foreign policy and ignores more than 200 years of history.

New Russian Study Challenges Notion that Stalin was Necessary by paul goble (noreply@blogger.com)
Paul Goble
Staunton, March 12 – It is an article of faith for Vladimir Putin and many Russians as well that, despite what he and they are sometimes willing to concede were Joseph Stalin’s excesses, the Soviet dictator was absolutely necessary in building up a strong Soviet Union that was then capable of defeating Nazi Germany.
But a new book just published in Moscow challenges that assumption, and thus undermines both the Kremlin’s historical narrative and the assumption increasingly widespread in Russia and elsewhere that that country cannot be run by anyone but a dictator, an assumption that leads those who think that to excuse Putin’s “excesses,” viewing them as necessary as well.
Oleg V. Khlevniuk , a senior researcher at the State Archive of the Russian Federation in Moscow, has written many scholarly books about Stalin’s times, but his new one, “Stalin. The Life of One Leader” (in Russian; Moscow: Corpus, 450 pages), has been published by a commercial house and is intended for the widest possible audience.
In an interview with Petr Fedorov of “Vozdukh,” Khlevnyuk explains that he wrote the book to show that “Stalin was not necessary,” that there were alternatives, and that many of them would have been far preferable for Russia if not for its ruling elites who always benefit from the notion that things could not be otherwise (vozduh.afisha.ru/books/byl-li-stalin-neobhodim-ya-dokazyvayu-chto-net/).
Elites use this notion to convince Russians that whatever is and whatever they do must be accepted because “it is always possible to say: ‘Well, you know, in our country, nothing else could have occurred.” As a historian, Khlevniuk says, he finds this “conception meaningless,” especially since Stalin like other leaders sometimes acted one way and sometimes ago.
The core argument of his book, the historian says, is that Stalin was not necessary and that he did far more harm than a different leader with different policies would have done. His terror, for example, was “absolutely senseless even from the point of view of the system.” Indeed, “it weakened it in the end.”
The task of any biographer, Khlevniuk says, is to try to reconstruct the times in which its subject lived and to get inside the logic of his actions. “Why did he do what he did? What were his calculations?” In short, what role did his personality and subjective approach play in the course of events.
Even though some Russians now deny it, Stalin was directly implicated in the killings of the Great Terror. He kept all the orders to kill that he signed. But, and this is relevant now, he killed by giving orders “from his office,” as one of Khlevniuk’s colleagues has said. He did not pull the trigger. That disconnect allows some to lie to themselves and others about his role.
The historian points to three sources of the extraordinary popularity of Stalin at the present time. The first is the ignorance of the population about the history of the country and the propensity of many to think that some past time was better than the present. The second is that Stalin’s times are not ancient history: there are still many people who grew up then and choose to remember their childhoods in rosy colors.
And third, Khlevniuk argues, the image of Stalin among Russians today as a positive figure or at least as one for whom there was no substitute has been actively promoted by the current Russian government for its own purposes. Pro-Stalin books have thus “undeservedly received enormous support” and attracted a large audience.
The archival historian says that he very much hopes that his book will change the minds of the vast majority of people who are neither passionate supporters of Stalin or passionate opponents but rather view him the way the current Kremlin leaders want them to because that is the path of least resistance.
From his perspective, Khlevniuk says, what is especially horrifying is that many of the pro-Stalin books and articles are largely or completely falsified and that their conclusions are nonetheless finding their way into academic studies and thus gaining a respectability they do not deserve. “This is a catastrophe,” he argues.
Sometimes people think that Stalinism in Russia can be dispelled as Nazism was in Germany, but that is impossible, Khlevniuk says. Hitler lost a war, but the Stalinist regime “ended as a result of its own contradictions,” and it did so “immediately after the death of Stalin.”
Indeed, “as soon as Stalin died, within a week, his regime was no more” because “his own supporters destroyed it because they understood that it was impossible to life that way any longer. The system simply wasn’t capable of working,” yet another lesson to all who say that everything is inevitable and that personalities don’t matter.

Staunton, March 12 – When Vladimir Putin decided a year ago to annex Crimea, he and his supporters expected that this would be “the first event in a chain of unending victories which would show the world the dangerousness of ‘ignoring’ Moscow’s appetites and instead convert the Russian Federation into the Soviet Union of the 21stcentury, Vitaly Portnikov says.
But things have not worked out that way, the Kyiv commentator says. Moscow did not get the new Soviet Union it hoped for; instead, it set in train a series of developments “along the path of state suicide,” a path that, despite its dangers Putin, seems incapable of recognizing or getting off (ru.krymr.com/content/article/26893353.html).
Putin did not understand that all the non-Russian countries or even the Russian speakers in them were uninterested in his project. He did not understand what the reaction of the international community to his invasion. He didn’t understand what losses economic and military he would face. And he didn’t understand that there is no way back from him crimes.
The readiness of some Russians to welcome the largely bloodless annexation of Crimea was like some teenager in a narcotic stupor powered by drugs that he had bought with money he had stolen from his mother’s handbag, Portnikov says. But that youth doesn’t want to suffer or even pay up – and now a year later, he sees that he might have to. He did not understand.
According to Portnikov, Russia is “celebrating” the first anniversary of the Anschluss so broadly – not just on one day but for a whole week – is because Russians “are not certain” whether they will be in a position to mark a second anniversary next year.
It is possible, he continues, that even a year from now, Crimea may remain under Russian occupation. “But the economic situation of Russia, its chances for survival, and the ability of its population to be gladdened by anything besides the solution of their own everyday problems” -- which are likely to be “more important topics for discussion than any political events.”
In March 2016, “somewhere in Moscow, Tula or Yaroslavl,” Russians will view Crimea the way they have viewed Chechnya, as a place populated by people who only make demands for their tax money and who are anything but pleased by their anything but asked for “’liberators.’”
Putin’s promotion of himself as “the unifier of Russian lands” will then look even worse than it does today to Russians and everyone else, given “the bloody war in Ukraine’s east, the collapse of the Russian economy, and the final marginalization even without this of its still uncompleted state building.”
Consequently, Portnikov concludes, for Russians this March and perhaps next, “this is not a week of joy; this is a week of despair.”

Obama More Guilty of ‘Treason’ than Senate Republicans
Democrats and the mainstream media have used the words "traitor" and "treason" to describe a letter to Iranian leaders, drafted by freshman Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) and signed by 47 Republican Senators, that warns any nuclear deal President Barack Obama signs may be voided by a future administration or Congress if it is not ratified by the Senate. Since they have brought the "t-words" into the debate, it is worth examining the case against Obama himself, which is far more damning.
