Tecumseh said...: Whatever, dude. Fact is, he's in the driver seat after all these reset buttons have been pressed.; 7/14/2009 5:57 AM
Tecumseh said...: More: Talking with Medvedev has not altered Russia's strategic ambitions or made the United States safer. It's simply talk. Nevertheless, this reality has eluded leftist bastions like Pravda, which has likened Obama's efforts at dialogue to "perestroika," proclaiming Obama the new Gorbachev. The American media seems to interpret this comparison as a compliment.

Mr roT said...: About the update, Putin's playing Obama for what he is.; 7/14/2009 11:50 AM
Tecumseh said...: Remember, Putin has a pretty weak hand. But he's playing it to the hilt. On the other hand, we're playing with a hand tied behind the back, and shooting ourselves in the foot. And Pepe ululates, of course.; 7/14/2009 6:19 PM
Mr roT said...: A wonderful metaphor-salad, Tecs.; 7/14/2009 7:30 PM
Tecumseh said...: Do you think this would make it in the "Metaphor alert" section if Taranto ever pays attention to our sophomoric blogging?; 7/14/2009 8:57 PM
