| Sultan Knish: Whatever Happened to John Kerry |
| 2015-05-20 |
| John Kerry returns from his latest Russian visit bearing two baskets of potatoes and a t-shirt. The t-shirt, given to him by Foreign Minister Lavrov, might as well say, "I wasted my time in Russia and all I got was this shirt." It's a diplomatic success only in relation to Kerry's previous humiliations such as the time that Russia's adeptly slimy foreign minister kept him waiting for a week before returning his call while the State Department spokeswoman announced to the world that Kerry was "ready to talk whenever Foreign Minister Lavrov can find the time." ...It wasn't all that long ago that John Kerry was being touted as the last best hope for diplomacy. No one could quite admit that Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama had made a complete mess, but the sighs of relief when John Kerry got the job instead of Obama's dishonest crony Susan Rice spoke volumes. ...Kerry finally had the power to make the changes that he always wanted and proved once and for all that he is not a brilliant diplomat or a deep thinker, but a miserable failure. And American diplomacy has failed with him. |

| #1 SecState Kerry is to preventing major war in the South China Sea + SE Asia, as Nippon Ambassador Sweet Caroline Kennedy is to preventing major war in NE Asia. The above being said, OF COURSE KERRY IS SEEMINGLY "FADING" OR HAVING DIFFICULTIES BECUZ HOW CAN HE [+ Caroline] RISE TO NEW HEIGHTS OF US, INTERNATIONAL PROMINENCE + CREDIBILITY, ETC. IFF NO SERIOUS US-CHINA CONFRONTATION OR EVEN MIL CONFLICT OCCURS. Silly boy. |
