Until recently, I had scoffed at these murder figures and presumed the danger in Boston to be grotesquely overblown—a fictionalized byproduct of the mass media’s relentless drive to bolster ratings through breaking news. How can Puritan Boston possibly be dangerous if its only notoriously disreputable district, the combat zone, no longer even exists...

Instead, it reflects a view that U.S. influence is inimical to Moscow's own interests, particularly in the former Soviet states. Curbing that influence has become a goal in and of itself - though aligning with Iran, another powerful oil producer, substantially increases Russia's potential influence, particularly in Asia...
