I have the same dream as Gorbachev too, you know: uniting the circumpolar people

I have the same dream as Gorbachev too, you know: uniting the circumpolar peoples. That’s why I am so angry with Putin. It’s not just that he destroyed the postwar consensus. It’s not just that he wants to re-impose Russian barbarism on eastern europeans. It’s that he had the New Right in the palm of his hand, and with ten more years of economic integration with Europe, and an american military out of Europe, he could have united our peoples once again, across the entire north. And all he had to do was remain patient.
