I want to frame this comment for posterity's sake. This is a prime example of politics over country right here.

Indeed. I think Putin understands Obama much more than the other way around. Its when the sunshine and rainbows of leftism comes up against tanks and jets.

IMO, the notion that some have articulated that international rules have rendered Realpolitik obsolete is very naïve. Power matters greatly and those who assume that it doesn't will wind up being caught by nasty surprises when other nations use power to assert their interests. In that context, it is vitally important that the U.S. defense budget and armed forces be rooted on the security challenges that confront the U.S., rather than non-security-related factors.

Do you remember what happened in Georgia a few years back? When Russian troops soon moved in forcefully and took the land back. It's the way humans do it.

US was involved in that effort. Their guy was the president, educated at Harvard or somewhere near.

I am sure it has to be difficult for Gorby seeing much of his hard work being undone. I am sure Reagan would feel the same if he were alive and well.

Remember ... " Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall! "

Due to the inabilities of present U.S. leadership .... Maybe the next statement should be ... "Mr. Gorbachev, rebuild this bridge !"
