The Russians Totally Saw That Coming
March 4, 2009 · Posted in Barack Obama
When Hussein Obama sent his super-duper secret letter to Moscow offering to cancel the US missile shield system in Eastern Europe in exchange for “help” negotiating with Iran about its nuclear aims, the Russians, who had built a nuclear reactor for the Iranians, knew a bad move when they saw it. That’s because the deal is a no deal. Obama as much as announced to them last summer that he’s wishy-washy on missile defense systems anyway.
“This is smart diplomacy? This is a debacle. The Russians dismissed it contemptuously . . . ‘Smart diplomacy’ is a meaningless idea, but if it has any meaning at all, it is not ever doing something as humiliating, amateurish, and stupid as this.” read Charles Krauthammer’s take on Obie’s Lesson in Diplomacy.
