To stop Putin in Ukraine, Obama must offer more than rhetoric - The Globe and Mail: "...the unifying glue in the West has been missing. That “glue” has traditionally been American leadership. When that leadership was bold and determined, as in the case of Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton, it proved to be effective. Mr. Obama’s “leadership from behind” has been the obverse. His grand rhetoric could hardly contrast more with the timidity and fecklessness of his policies." - Aurel Braun is a visiting professor, Department of Government, Harvard University and professor of Political Science and International Relations, University of Toronto. His latest book is Nato-Russia Relations in the 21st Century.
