- George Will: Russia's Power Play. "Who remembers 1934? Or anything." Usual brilliance.
- Victor Davis Hanson: Moscow's Sinister Brilliance. "The Russians have sized up the moral bankruptcy of the Western Left." More on this later.
- William Kristol: Will Russia Get Away With It? "Dictators aren’t moved by the claims of justice unarmed." Wait...they aren't?
- Robert Kagan: Putin Makes His Move. "The next president had better be ready." You're telling me.
