Now we know why Obama turned his back on Iranian protesters. Note that the secret negotiations began in June. What else went on in June in Iran? Oh yeah… those pesky election results protests.
Basically, he turned his back on the Iranian people because that whole free election fight of theirs wasn’t nearly as important as the nuclear deal he was working out with Iran’s regime. Too bad the regime couldn’t be trusted to actually live up to its end of the bargain. Big surprise there, that you can’t trust political leaders who believe in silencing their own people…
Maybe that should serve as an object lesson to us about Obama. . . Heh. at least Leno is motivated by the President.
Bill Whittle talks about the Russian angle to negotiations with Iran, and prospects for a lasting peace now that President Obama has won the Nobel Peace Prize. Whittle's video skips over a few details in history, but reminds us of some basic principles in a memorable way. Charles Krauthammer fills in a few details about the latest foreign relations negotiations by Team Obama.
Henry Kissinger once said that the main job of Anatoly Dobrynin, the perennial Soviet ambassador to Washington, was to tell the Kremlin leadership that whenever they received a proposal from the United States that appeared disadvantageous to the United States, not to assume it was a trick.More history about WWII here. More on the advantages to Russia in being soft on Tehran.
No need for a Dobrynin today. The Russian leadership, hardly believing its luck, needs no interpreter to understand that when the Obama team clownishly rushes in bearing gifts and "reset" buttons, there is nothing ulterior, diabolical, clever or even serious behind it. It is amateurishness, wrapped in naivete, inside credulity. In short, the very stuff of Nobels.
