Rusland wint opnieuw een slag in het pokerspel met Amerika:
http://mycatbirdseat.com/2015/05/91478-us-blinks-in-face-off-with-russia/
Last week started with US Secretary of State John Kerry coming to Russia to lay a wreath for the millions of Soviet soldiers who gave their lives in the historic defeat of Nazi Germany. Then the week ended with Kerry’s deputy at the State Department, Victoria Nuland, flying to Moscow to meet Russian officials to discuss implementation of the Minsk ceasefire in Ukraine.
Nuland’s was the second high-level political delegation from Washington to Russia in less than seven days. Before Kerry’s attendance at the war memorial in Sochi, it was reportedly two years since a senior American official had set foot on Russian territory.
That’s what you might call «America blinking first» in its high-stakes and reckless face-off with Russia over the Ukraine crisis.
