Dans les coulisses du G20

Dans le magazine Foreign Policy consacré aux 100 premiers jours de Barack Obama, le politologue bulgare Ivan Krastev raconte une petite histoire qui résume bien le climat actuel des relations entre les Etats-Unis, l’Europe et la Russie. Ivan Krastev est associé au think tank Liberal Strategies à Sofia.

In the wake of the G-20 meeting, Obama, Sarkozy, and Medvedev were walking around a beautiful lake. In the middle of the lake, there was an island.

Sarkozy whispered to Obama. "What stones ?" Obama replied.
