Spamalot,
the comments on the article say volumes. However even more interesting is the about Newstatesman page.
“The New Statesman was created in 1913 with the aim of permeating the educated and influential classes with socialist ideas.”
That was the first sentence. Hardly the type of learned journal I’d expect to find on FR, but rather in the DUmpster or Daily Kos. Your very choice of reading material is to say the least interesting.
Address the issue - Russia is becoming a fascist state and you support that.
This is appalling considering that Russia is arming our enemies.
