How foreign is it? Here’s how “foreign” it is:
From 1948 to 1992, the Holy Grail of Soviet Foreign Policy was to drive a wedge between the United States and Western Europe. They tried and always failed for the simple reason that so long as the USSR existed, their existence guaranteed the USA and Western Europe would stick together.
Putin is on the verge of cracking that relationship apart. He’s dealing with Merkel and freezing out 0bama.
That’s how foreign it is. 0bama is ready to allow a strategic defeat, the scope of which is so huge, it was unimaginable even during the Carter presidency.
Obama makes Carter look almost like a competent president.
