Putin On Ice

Russia wants the use of the abandoned American base in Iceland, as the condition for bailing out the Icelandic banks. Jolly good. Russia is the pre-eminent protector of the Biblical and Classical civilisation that is the true West, both against the decadent pseudo-West of globalisation, European federalism and American military-industrial hegemony (such as in Georgia), and against the pseudo-West's Islamic allies (such as in Chechnya and Azerbaijan).

Putin has recently said that he would not want streets to be named after him. Well, streets used to be named, and not without cause, in recognition of things like the struggle against apartheid in South Africa. Today, let them be named in recognition of the struggle against globalisation, European federalism, American military-industrial hegemony, and Islamic expansionism: Abkhazia Street, Ossetia Road, Karabakh Avenue, that sort of thing.
