American media seems to be tired of waiting for Russia and President Putin to make mistakes in the international arena. Meanwhile, Russia's success in Syria is seemingly stirring ill feeling in many media outlets.
Jeffrey Gedmin, a Senior Fellow at Georgetown University and Senior Fellow at the Institute for Strategic Dialogue has issued instructions on how to cope with Russia. However, intelligent dialogue is clearly not what the political analyst is calling for.
"If we're lucky, Russian forces in Syria will meet a similar fate as the Soviets in Afghanistan. But it's also urgent we regroup from the shambles that is the Obama Administration's foreign policy," he writes in his article in The American Interest magazine.
Having laid out America's suggested "larger aims," the author pitched upon "a key problem at hand," which, unsurprisingly, tuned out to be President Putin.
Comment: Gedmin is a bit late when it comes to formulating a plan to take down Russia. The Unites States has been at it for roughly a century. While they had momentary 'success' in collapsing the Soviet Union, their methods have become old, tired and ineffective against an educated population led by a genuine and strong leader. The only future for the US under its long held destructive policies is to become a "dream of the past."
