    Paul Krugman has been an important voice for sanity for many years, and so there was some disappointment with his Monday column on war among those who would like to see less insanity in U.S. foreign policy. Krugman is also one of the few columnists (or economists for that matter) who has, on several occasions, publicly acknowledged when he has made mistakes, and corrected them (in good Keynesian tradition, "when confronted with new evidence"). So I write with all sincerity in hoping that he will realize his mistake in this case.

    In explaining the civil war in Ukraine, Krugman assumes that all the blame belongs to Russia, and in particular its president, Vladimir Putin.

    "It therefore is useless and pointless, unless it is for share malice and victimisation to arrest and charge a 92-year-old man for such a simple offence. There is nothing morally wrong with this man smoking a spliff; the only thing wrong is that it is still on the law books," said Chevannes.

    Leaders from 28 different countries are gathered in Wales for the first NATO meeting since 2012. Among the biggest issues to be tackled include Russia's intervention in Ukraine, and Islamic extremists, which President Obama vowed to face head on.

    NEWPORT, Wales — The appearance by the president of Ukraine at the opening of a critical NATO summit Thursday underscored the West's determination to confront Russia over Ukraine, but it also rankled the Kremlin, which warned that Kiev's NATO ambitions are threatening to derail peace talks in eastern Ukraine.

      Argentina Takes on Pirates and Vultures

      The sailors drew their weapons as the men in uniform approached the ship. The vessel, an Argentine warship named the Libertad, would not be allowed to leave the Ghanaian port where it had docked, the men—Ghanaian authorities—warned; the ship itself was being claimed as collateral by a foreign power across the sea. As news reached Argentina, it was met with shock and outrage. The foreign power—a man named Paul Singer—demanded $20 million from Argentina for the ship’s release.

      Was this an act of international piracy? Argentina’s economy minister and some commentators alluded to it as such. It was October 2, 2012, and it was the latest maneuver by billionaire hedge fund manager Paul Singer and his NML Capital fund to seize assets held by the Argentine government. It would be two-and-a-half months before the fate of the Libertad would be resolved and the United Nations' International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea ordered that it be released.
