Mideast: As Moscow tests a new ballistic missile, our secretary of state expresses concern that Moscow is sending attack helicopters to the murderous regime in Syria. The only thing changed is the degree of our naivete.
On June 12, 1987, President Ronald Reagan spoke to the people of West Berlin at the base of the Brandenburg Gate, near the Berlin Wall, and uttered this famous demand: "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" A quarter-century later to the day, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the U.S. was "concerned about the latest information we have that there are attack helicopters on the way from Russia to Syria."
Reagan spoke at the height of American exceptionalism and power and in unapologetic tones against a backdrop of a military and an economy second to none.

Russia has helped Iran with its nuclear program and air defenses as well as protected the country at the United Nations. It has a long-standing military relationship with Syria, which hosts Russia's only naval base on the Mediterranean Sea at Tartus. Its fondness for thuggish regimes is once again on display.

We need a masculine SoS. You didn't hear this "concerned" shit from George Schultz.
Smart power...yeah.

Yeah, it worked so well in the past, they decided it would work for the muzzlems, too.
