"Mr. Kerry's close working relationship with Mr. Lavrov has dominated the diplomacy. They are an unlikely pair: a Vietnam War veteran who sailboards and a chain-smoking Soviet-schooled bureaucrat known for sharp suits and wry humor."

John F'n Kerry did serve in Vietnam./

I applaud the sarcasm! and respond with, the only thing Kerry served in Vietnam was himself enough illegitimate Purple Hearts to get his sorry burro home so he could slander actual American soldiers.

He’s not a professional diplomat but a politician who parachuted into the State Department. He’s no match for someone like Sergei Lavrov who has served almost all his life in various roles in the Soviet and later Russian diplomatic service. John Kerry appears to be constantly surprised by the realities of world affairs and his notoriously thin skin makes it difficult for him to work together with people who do not have a high estimation of him.

For the first time in my life I am surprised to see myself admiring a Russian leader far more than my own supposed leader . I almost find myself glad when he outwits and out manuvers Obama , again and again . Am I wrong ?
Am I sick ? Is this dangerous ground ? What a sad state of affairs....

Obama outsourcing the US interests in the Middle East to Russia reminds me of the brilliance of Borders outsourcing their online book sales to Amazon.com...

Such gullibility.

Of course Putin would take his call, but Lavrov reported that Putin wouldn’t take his call, as a bargaining tactic.

Parried? Could “flexibility” have anything to do with Vlad's having eaten Osama Obama’s lunch (and annexed a region the size of Texas)?

How do you spell “lebensraum” in Russian? Or does this more closely resemble China's having “liberated” Tibet or their plans to “liberate” the Republic of China?

Or all those little islands surrounded by oil deposits?

We're waiting for our Community Organizer-In-Chief to apologize to Governors Palin and Romney for having predicted Vlad's moves perfectly...but all we hear is crickets.

Obama...is...crafting a more confrontational policy toward Mr. Putin

Oh my! What could this possibly mean? Perhaps barky will will send in Lux the 22 lb Cat...

Not to worry, Obama assures us Putin’s actions are proof of Vlad’s weakness.

Yeah, he really did.
