STIRRINGS

The Russian Bear is stirring.

It is almost as if the harshness of winter is passing and the great beast is beginning to awake.

Of course, the Bear is aware that a new Eagle in on the nest.

And the Eagle is not only new, but is young and inexperienced.

True to the axiom that a power vacuum can never exist long in international affairs, the Bear will test the water, test the vacuity of the New Administration.

The world does not yet know the reaction of the Eagle to the Bear.

Let’s hope for an appropriate reaction.
