THE FIRST female president of the United States faces her first major international conflict: Seeking to consolidate the Slavic nations of Eastern Europe, Russia has seized the three Baltic states—Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia—all members of NATO. That requires a response beyond just a caustic tweet or sharply worded press release. For the first time since the Cuban missile crisis, there is serious talk of nuclear war.
IN AN EXPANSIVE MOOD: This Russian tank rolling past the grave of a Ukrainian soldier last year could be a harbinger of a bigger, and far deadlier war.
