Thanks to Drudge, everyone knows that Tony Brenton, former UK Ambassador to Moscow, doesn't see Russian strongman, Vladimir Putin, as a land-grabbing, latter-day Hitler, but as a new Talleyrand. Here's an excerpt from his article in today's Telegraph:
"The 'we must stand up to Putin as we did to Hitler' line is pure schoolboy politics. Putin, of whom I saw a fair amount as UK ambassador to Moscow, is not an ideologically driven fanatic, but much closer to Talleyrand – the calculating, pragmatic rebuilder of his country’s status in the world."

You can read the whole thing here, but if Putin is a new Talleyrand, what does that make Obama? You know, the first LGBTQ President who's developed this smart strategy to defeat ISIS by, er, arming ISIS.

Senior Defense Industry analysts have speculated that Beyonce, Jay Z and Obama himself, are in a bizarre "love triangle."
Perhaps the President's distracted.

ReplyDeleteThat is my thought on the matter as well.
Talleyrand was smart. So is Putin. Obama is...challenged by a personal history that puts him at odds with America's best interests. Talleyrand was a nationalist. So is Putin. Obama is the anti-American Nationalist.
The Talleyrand point definitely struck a chord with me.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan of Putin, but y'all know more about him than I do, so I'll defer to a certain [very limited] degree, because I tend to agree with the rest of your politics. There must be something redeeming about him that I'm missing. Anyway.
ReplyDeleteAs for the love triangle-- how could ANY man perform his proper duty with her around? The woman is a greater threat to our country than most terrorists. No, not her fault for being beautiful-- but GET AWAY FROM PEOPLE WHO NEED TO FOCUS, already. Unpatriotic nuisance.
I'm a bit disturbed, Jenny, that you're not in agreement with the Talleyrand point.
ReplyDeleteBeyonce? Pyramid Peak...
Happy to add to your disturbance, as always. :)
ReplyDeleteCarry on.
ReplyDeleteWhatever your opinion of Putin, he is a Russian who is putting Russia first. Obama is an American (only after a fashion) who firmly believes that we should not put America first. Therein rests the fundamental difference.
ReplyDeleteJay Z and Obama are lovers? Can't say I'm surprised.
ReplyDeleteNasty, isn't it, Infidel.
ReplyDeleteWhat does that make Obama? The first thought that always pops into my mind these days is "evil."
