@emptywheel Not sure follow exact thrust of your query, but think we're agreeing Putin would be more apt to trouble-make on the Iran front? -
@GregDjerejian It seems DC has remarkable lack of creativity in envisioning ways Putin might strike back at us. -

@emptywheel ...is so many missing--willfully or thru ignorance--that Putin's actions are those of sane strategist, not crazed leader. 2/2 -
@GregDjerejian Right: This outrage abt CIA missing Crimea is nonsense given that they should have anticipated it themselves. -
