Columnist Mark Steyn,
writing for
National Review, about Russian President Vladimir Putin's op-ed for
The New York Times and the circumstances which brought it about:
With this op-ed Tsar Vlad is telling Obama: The world knows you haven’t a clue how to play the Great Game or even what it is, but the only parochial solipsistic dweeby game you do know how to play I can kick your butt all over town on, too.
Steyn likewise isn't impressed with Secretary of State Kerry:
Putin and Assad are running rings around the dull-witted Kerry, whose Botoxicated visage embodies all too well the expensively embalmed state of the superpower.
Steyn concludes as follows:
America is in danger of being the first great power to be laughed off the world stage. (snip) The president’s an irrelevant narcissist and his secretary of state’s a vainglorious buffoon.
