If Only Putin Had Invaded Mexico
As World War III looms in Europe, we must put narrow partisan differences aside and tap the brain power of the greatest minds among us. It is time for the bungling Biden White Louse to call upon ... Jared!
Speaking of the best and the brightest, our foreign policy mandarins must have felt like it was Christmas Day when a senile dementia patient became president.
Finally! No meddling politicians to get in the way of our beautifully designed plans worked out at the Council on Foreign Relations. Although Joseph R. Biden is technically, in a strictly legal sense, "resident," it's progressives running his domestic policy, and think-tank geniuses running his foreign policy.
Things are going great!
Let's review the consistent position on Russia from our ruling class, informed by the whiz kids of international affairs.
OBAMA ERA, 2009:
Throughout Obama's "reset" of the relationship with Russia -- which had "deteriorated alarmingly" under President Bush, according to the failing
New York Times -- foreign policy experts were thrilled to have an American leader finally acknowledging the end of the Cold War.
A
Times article cheerfully reported that "Obama has resolved not to let the ghosts of the 20th century get in the way of his goals in the 21st." The paper editorialized, "We are relieved that Washington and Moscow are talking about cooperation."
In a May 20, 2009, column titled "Cold War Leftovers," Stephen Sestanovich expressed delight that "the cold war really is over." More than two years later, on Oct. 28, 2011, British historian Geoffrey Wheatcroft informed
Times readers: "Putin's Russia, though obnoxious enough, scarcely represents a strategic threat."
Evincing (
see what she did there?) our shared humanity, the Russkies loved Obama.
"After relations with the United States curdled in the final years of President George W. Bush's tenure," the
Times cooed, "many people [in Russia] were relieved by Mr. Obama's election." Indeed, "Russia's leaders ... could not say enough good things about President Obama." Sting was right: The Russians DO love their children, too!
Obama didn't sanction Russia for placing spies on U.S. soil, and barely did for annexing Crimea. Peace reigned.
More to come from acerbic Ann.
