Walking and chewing gum at the same time is great but we still have to pay attention to our surroundings or we end up becoming the clown walking along playing with our phone as we fall into the fountain.
In this case, walking is dealing with our own problems and chewing gum should be diplomatically dealing with central and south America who are falling into chaos. The Russia thing is the surroundings we should pay attention to but don’t need to actively participate in.
Totally agree.
