If John McCain writes a rebuttal to Putin’s op-ed, won’t the Russian people conclude that Obama is incapable of writing an effective reply himself?
Which is probably the case, since how much better could Obama’s written words be than his rambling, incoherent speeches? And, of course, John McCain isn’t exactly Winston Churchill either.
The Russian people will get a good laugh out of all this, one way or the other.
The Russians should conclude Obama doesn’t have an advisor competent to reply.
