| Kerry meets with Russian counterpart in last-ditch Ukraine talks Posted: 14 Mar 2014 07:34 AM PDT  Top US diplomat John Kerry arrived in London on Friday on an 11th-hour mission to head off a possible Russian annexation of Crimea on the heels of a breakaway vote by the Ukrainian region. With the clock ticking down to Crimea's referendum on Sunday, Kerry was to meet with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov seeking to put the brakes on any moves by Russian President Vladimir Putin to swiftly annex the peninsula. Shortly before leaving the United States, the secretary of state admitted that it was all but impossible to stop the referendum organised by Crimea's self-declared leaders from going ahead and warned there was no question that the pro-Russian ethnic majority would vote to move closer to Moscow. Shortly after arriving in London, Kerry paid a visit to British Prime Minister David Cameron at his Downing Street residence ahead of his talks with Lavrov.

| Crimea Crisis: Lessons from the first Cold War Posted: 14 Mar 2014 03:43 AM PDT  The Second Cold War is upon us, or so reporting from Kiev, Brussels, Moscow and Washington leads us to believe. There has been no shortage of ideas for how the West should respond to Russia's takeover of Crimea — from imposing wide-ranging sanctions on Russian political leaders and oligarchs to inviting Georgia to join NATO. Any accurate recollection of the original Cold War seems to be forgotten. The first Cold War was not all about bluster and one-upmanship. Compromise, trade-offs and skillful, patient diplomacy were a big part of U.S. policy then. U.S. actions were guided by a long-term strategy rather than dueling tweets. If we are in a new Cold War, some lessons of the first one should apply today. We should act accordingly.
