George Will: Is Ukraine the Cold War’s final episode? - The Washington Post

George Will: Is Ukraine the Cold War’s final episode? - The Washington Post: "Marx, whose prophesies were perversely predictive because they were almost invariably wrong, predicted the end of nationalism. Economic forces, he said, determine political, cultural and psychological realities. So capitalism, with its borders-leaping cosmopolitanism, would dilute to the point of disappearance all emotional attachments to nations. Ukraine’s ferment is an emphatic, albeit redundant, refutation of Marxism."
