“The Crimea referendum was the first legal way to find out what the
people wanted to do. The turnout was remarkable, and they voted
overwhelmingly to rejoin Russia, to become part of Russia once again.
The interesting thing here is it was not just the Russians that voted to
join Russia but the Ukrainians in Crimea, which makes a sizable part of
the population voted to join Russia. . . Ukraine is composed of sort of
a no man’s land in the West and then Russian territories in the East. .

If that trend holds, you are basically left with this insolvent nugget of nothingness, and it will be up to the international community to decide what to do with these people. They are right now marching around Kiev with baseball bats and going into government offices and beating up members of local government and installing their own members. They are basically running amok. They don’t even have the support of the Ukrainian military at this point. So, it will be a mop-up operation against these neo-fascists that are running amok.”
Orlov goes on to say, “In Washington, in the Obama Administration and in the Kerry State Department, we have absolutely breathtaking levels of incompetence. These people really don’t know what they’re doing and are dangerous at any speed; and everywhere else, we have this follow the incompetent leader thing taking place, and it’s really, really frightening because the incompetents are leading the world to a really dangerous place.”

The "breathtaking incompetence" remark is interesting. What would "competence" even look like? The state department is full of long serving diplomats from the best schools and wealthy families, going to all the right cocktail parties and spouting all the right progressive ideas, just like they have for the past 100 years.
ReplyDeleteNothing has changed. The only funny thing is that there is any expectation at all that there is such a thing as "competent foreign policy".
Good points.
