Re: The Ruskies are back. Praise the Lord! (4.00 / 2)

Frankly, I see no one in "Da West" capable of going toe to toe with Putin and not being eaten for lunch. Bush, McCain, Sarko? Gimme a break! McCain's envoys, Lieberman and Graham are lucky to not wind up on Putin's barbeque.
The only possibility I see is Obama but that's just a wild guess.

Hey, Grandma Moses started late!

I like Obama more than most people here, but he's been really lame on this. My hopes for a sane Russia policy rest with zee Germans.

I agree with you this particular policy. I was speaking generally of his negotiating and diplomatic skills.

Obama's pronouncements are totally lame (none / 1)

But worse, his policy advisers are cold-warriors from way back.

The Fates are kind.
