Oh my, oh my<\/a>. Voil\u00e0 un bon exemple de ce qu’on peut attendre d’une pr\u00e9sidence Obama:<\/p>\n

We have not been willing to put our priorities properly. We have not been willing to say … \u00ab\u00a0Hey Russia, we won’t expand NATO into the Ukraine and Georgia, right next to your borders, if you cooperate with us on Iran.\u00a0\u00bb …<\/p>\n

I think Iran and Israel are a hell of a lot more important than expanding NATO to Russia’s borders. Why should we? What do we need it for?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

C’est vrai quoi, coop\u00e9rez avec nous sur l’Iran, en \u00e9change on vous donne l’Ukraine, les Etats baltes, la G\u00e9orgie… faites votre march\u00e9! C’est \u00e7a les deals futurs d’Obama. Et puis quand viendra le temps de faire un deal avec l’Iran, il vendra Isra\u00ebl ? Et avec le Venezuela, ce sera la Colombie ? Et quid de Ta\u00efwan ? Je lisais un article de Ralph Peters dans le NY Post plus t\u00f4t<\/a>, et je me disais \u00ab\u00a0il exag\u00e8re\u00a0\u00bb. Et puis je me dis que non:<\/p>\n

Relations with Russia are also at a high unthinkable a mere four years ago. Moscow’s legitimate concerns for the welfare of its citizens in the \u00ab\u00a0near abroad,\u00a0\u00bb as well as for ethnic Russians persecuted by so-called free democracies, fully justified its peace-preservation military deployments into Ukraine and other regional states. The subsequent referendums on re-unification with Russia, while displaying a few inevitable irregularities, have been judged free and fair by the Jimmy Carter Memorial Foundation.<\/p>\n

While the deployment of Russian forces into the NATO-member Baltic states to protect ethnic Russians proved controversial, President Obama’s personal intervention kept us – and NATO – out of war. Partisan charges of \u00ab\u00a0Finlandization\u00a0\u00bb distort the generous terms of the neutrality guarantees Moscow provides for the former NATO members.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
