Peace talk or just Moscow flexing new muscles
Bruce Biossat argues that recent Soviet peace overtures are cautious theater. Moscow shows regret over Allied airmen deaths and acknowledges Western roles in World War II, yet there is little reason for the West to lower guard as Kremlin tactics mix diplomacy with strength. The piece cautions against hopeful expectations and notes ongoing European defenses, Korea stalemate, and Russia’s internal consolidation as possible motives. The writer predicts the dove’s flight will falter if a Soviet jet appears, underscoring skepticism toward genuine peace moves.
