"...a new low in Russian tradecraft..." ::face.palm:: Looks to me as if the USA and Russia have long been, despite the smiles and handshakes, on the slippery slope to the 'bottom' - with America seemingly leading the way; and the EU tagging along at times - going it alone sometimes. When the shoe is on the other foot the US cries foul. What hypocrisy! No only do they seemingly want to have Ukraine in their 'camp' and under their control, but even to the point of who should and who should not be in government - making in this now infamous leaked conversation a
statement that the boxer leading the moderate opposition should NOT be allowed into government or to become President of Ukraine. They the US has the hubris to say the Russians are 'meddling'.....in their 'backyard', as we have always assumed was OUR natural right from Monroe to now....only 'our backyard' has expanded from Latin America to the World in that time....perhaps beyond to the moon.....::bowtie::
