"The Empty Grave of Comrade Bishop" from The Washington Post just won a Peabody award and is a compelling investigation seven-part series into how the U.S. fits into a 40-year-old Caribbean mystery.

The whereabouts of their remains are unknown. “The Empty Grave of Comrade Bishop” delves into the revolutionary history of Grenada, why the missing remains still matter and the role the U.S. government played in shaping the fate of the island nation.

    Ukraine: discussions Poutine /Biden: Echec et Mat ?

    Les discussions entre américains et russes vont t-elles permettre de désamorcer la crise entre Moscou et Kiev ?

    Après les entretiens entre Joe Biden et Vladimir Poutine , on est loin et même très de l'optimisme.

    En rappel, l'Ukraine et ses alliés occidentaux s'inquiètent  de la présence de 100.000 soldats russes selon eux ,massés le long de la frontière ukrainienne. Moscou qui dément ce chiffre est accusé de préparer une invasion de l'Ukraine.

    Peut-on éviter le scénario du pire alors que la tension monte entre  la Russie et l'Ukraine ? Quelle partition peut jouer l'Union Européenne visiblement hors jeu dans la recherche d'une solution diplomatique à une  crise  qui concerne pourtant un pays d'Europe  ?
