Hi Roger,

I would actually like to hear more about those things.

I think obv. Louis and some others post about Russia because they disagree
with the take that much of the left has about Russia, Syria, and Iran as a
sort of "resistance axis", and much of that criticism against creeping
Stalinism is warranted.

But obviously that doesn't mean we have to endorse the enemy of the enemy
in any place. I actually kind of agree with you that a handful of topics
have been dominating the list (Greece, Ukraine) and I think if you have
analysis you can offer about some of these developments in other parts of
Europe (or perhaps the rest of the world) you should post it instead of
maligning the anti-Putin line.
