Ukrainian crisis

Howling in Donetsk

I’ve just been to the struggling Donetsk People’s Republic. Now I’m back in the splendid arrogance and insolence of NATOstan. Quite a few people – in Donbass, in Moscow, and now in Europe – have asked me what struck me most about this visit. I could start by paraphrasing Allen Ginsberg in Howl – “I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness.”
