And as an astute reader has pointed out, Blinken’s vociferations over no nations having the right to establish spheres of influence are, completely unwittingly, effectively giving a post-mortem to the two-century-old Monroe Doctrine. Pity U.S. newspapers haven’t run with that headline.
Zakharova caught Blinken on a contradiction after words about the inviolability of borders
Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova pointed to the contradiction between the words of US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and the policy of Washington.
As the diplomat recalled, the head of the State Department said that one of America’s goals in negotiations with Russia on security guarantees is to protect the basic principles of international relations. In them, Blinken included the inadmissibility of changing borders by force, limiting participation in alliances and establishing spheres of influence.
“Do we understand correctly that Washington no longer supports Kosovo’s sovereignty and no longer opposes Syria’s return to the Arab League?” – wrote the representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in her telegram channel, commenting on the statement of the Secretary of State.

Never fear, because Biden and company have sent in a SOCIAL WORKER to negotiate with the Russians. Yes, it is true, Dep. SOS Wendy Sherman, who holds an MSW from the University of Maryland (Baltimore), is the Lead negotiator for the US in these talks with Russia. Her previous diplomatic accomplishments were the Iran nuclear deal during the Obama administration, The North Korea Nuclear negotiations during the Clinton administration, and was the CEO of the Fannie Mae Foundation during the 1990s. Of course, we all know what a success Fannie Mae has been and how well the housing crisis went for us ten years later. The Clinton North Korea nuclear negotiations were so successful, that they inspired Obama to send her in to negotiate the Iran Nuclear deal. I can’t wait to see how well she does with the Russians.

You may find this of interest. But recall, incompetent, entitled and narcissistic types are usually the most reckless, the most dangerous.
