Strangely, there is nothing about geopolitics in the Al Jazeera piece.
In terms of analysis.
To me the overall reporting indicates that Obama had been negotiating with the agreement of the other developing countries. It will be an easy argument now to say that we (the more pure) would have been more effective if we had a more unified voice. But it looks more like our dear leaders are ready to submit to anything to get laggards on board.
It's time for the EU to start reconsidering running around the backs of the US and China / India in getting a deal.
