“John McCain, the “life is real, life is earnest” candidate, says he has looked into Putin’s eyes and seen “a K, a G and a B.” But McCain owes the thug thanks, as does America’s electorate.”
Not bad. But don’t forget, Obama stopped the tanks with his ‘air sabre’.
I’ve been saying all along that the communist oligarchs who run Russia — and much of the rest of the world — didn’t “collapse.”
They simply swapped their KGB IDs and grim faces for business suits and a smile.
Vlad Putin and his handlers obviously read “Death of a Salesman.”
There WILL BE BLOOD!
Now is a good time for McCain to start talking up his idea of a “League of Democracies”, first developed, I understand, by Charles Krauthammer. This would be a re-do of the United Nations but restricted only to true democracies — to focus on the world’s problems and how to confront the rogue nations like Russia. They wouldn’t attempt to eliminate the UN — just to make it even more irrelevant than it already is.
The beautiful thing about this policy is: this is something Obama just couldn’t embrace given his history and predilictions (and supporters) so this would be a real differentiator.
bump! bump! bump!
