Pretty amazing, and utterly plausible.

Just as it is utterly implausible that Bill Clinton, as a Rhodes Scholar visiting Moscow during the Cold War, would not have been seduced in a honey trap and recruited.

From that view it doesn’t really look like him.

I don't know, but that shirt Putin is wearing sure isn't.

That’s Putin with a different nose. But then, if Jacko could do it, then why not Putin.

The visit was not without its own share of diplomatic incidents. The First Couple took an unscheduled walk through the Arbat, a Moscow shopping pedestrian street, when security police rushed in and roughed up a throng of onlookers, including children. “It’s still a police state,” Reagan was heard to say. When the president’s advance team asked the Russian Orthodox Church to pave the way to the Danilov Monastery so that the president could arrive in the limousine, a clergyman retorted that “One does not ride to see God. One walks either upon his feet or upon his knees.” Because he wore no ID badge, White House spokesman Marlin Fitzwater was pursued by security personnel on his way to a Kremlin dinner. The president dozed off during the performance at the Bolshoi and Secretary Gorbachev had to wake him with a tap on the shoulder as the curtains were coming down.

Yet Reagan still exposed the Soviet Union for what it was and brought it to its knees. Funny how everyone misses that, but remembers every other detail.

I’m not so sure. It’s possible, but I think there are some differences.
