A former chancellor speaks up for Moscow NO SOONER had Germans grasped the prospect of the upcoming election battle between their chancellor, Angela Merkel, and the foreign minister in her coalition government, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, than they began to look more closely at the role of another figure on the national political scene: former chancellor Gerhard Schröder who, in the words of one foreign journalist, "from the soft cushions of Vladimir Putin's Gazprom payroll, currently shills for Russia in Germany".Mr Schröder has come under scrutiny for a couple of reasons: his outspoken views on the role Germany should play in Europe's currently tense relationship with Russia over Georgia (he would like it to help the European Union be a "go-between" in the crisis, and is generally acting as an apologist for the Russians); ...

"The holidays from history have ended," said the Polish Foreign Minister Radowlaw Sikorski, adding that after the Russian invasion of Georgia Nato membership was no longer a cost-free option. This was a fascinating meeting, just a few steps away from the EU summit in Brussels - a debate organised by the GERMAN Marshall Fund on the Georgian war, featuring the Russian AMBASSADOR and the Georgian minister for conflict. The clash of interpretation between them was obvious, if interesting. The Georgian minister, Termuir Yakobashvilli, said that he had been warning of this for ages and, in May, here in Brussels, he had told senior people that the region was on the brink of war. He said he was told: "Don't mention the W word in this city, it isn't welcome". The Russian AMBASSADOR, Vladimir Chizov, said that it was false that the Russians had planned the action and called it a "peace enforcement operation". But Mr Sikorski was definitely the most pithy speaker. He's an interesting man, previously close to American neo-cons and one of the original authors of the Polish aspect of the missile scheme when defence minister for the previous Polish government. He's married to the journalist and writer Anne Applebaum. Although he might be too transatlantic for some European tastes, he is also my tip for a future EU high representative. He said that we had reached a cusp of history and that while everyone wanted to avoid a second Cold War if there ...
