The author gets it partly right, but misses so much else.
Maybe we could send him a copy of Unfit for Command?
From the article;
Quote: | I’ve never had many charitable things to say about John Kerry, but now it’s worse; I feel sorry for him.
Kerry certainly isn’t an evil fellow, merely a run-of-the-mill narcissistic opportunist who has risen to the top of the political heap. I admire his service in Vietnam; many children of privilege — did someone mention George W. Bush? — found ways to avoid the war. If he had any stellar accomplishments during his 28 years in the Senate, they are not etched in my memory. He proved to be an inept presidential candidate in 2004.

Certainly Kerry’s era has been good for Putin. The Russian leader has astutely perceived a power vacuum on the international stage and realized that no one would oppose him if he decided to, say, annex the Crimea region of Ukraine. So, under the guise of a Soviet-style plebiscite, he did just that. Now he’s supporting armed, pro-Russian irregulars in Eastern Ukraine and elsewhere. According to National Journal, the ultimatum-enamored Kerry ordered Putin & Co. to back off their most recent Ukrainian adventure in a matter of “hours.”
That was last week.Let’s just say Putin didn’t get the message. He was too busy rushing military assistance to Iraq, where American influence is rapidly dwindling. |
