Putin Pushes Into Africa

BY J. PETER PHAM 3/26/15 AT 2:54 PM

One year after the disputed referendum on Ukraine’s Crimean peninsula joining Russia, the Kremlin is increasingly finding in Africa a welcome break from what has otherwise been its continued international diplomatic and economic isolation as a result of its aggression against its Eastern European neighbor.

In an Atlantic Council essay last year, drawing on earlier studies, I noted that “Ukraine, Georgia and the Middle East are not the only places Vladimir Putin’s Russia has put a muscular foreign policy on display” and that “quietly, but with equal determination, President Putin has directed a robust strategic push into a region farther from Russia’s borders—Africa.” I warned that “while the web of strategic access and other ties that the Russians have been reconstituting and expanding across the continent does not necessarily presage a return to the Cold War era’s often tragic zero-sum competition, other international actors heavily invested there no longer can ignore Moscow’s resurgent interest.”

ecent developments have validated these concerns, as the siloviki around Putin have not only returned to the former Soviet Union’s theaters of operations in Africa but have done so in force across a range of sectors, the connections between which are, more often than not, far from transparent.

Totally underwhelming. Just a Bad-Vlad puff piece really.

He also stressed that “we need to make maximum use of Russia’s competitive advantages, including our reputation…as a reliable, predictable partner who fulfills its obligations irrespective of any tactical preferences and the current political situation.”

that's a shot at US foreign policy under the emperor . I wish I could say that he doesn't have a point.

Obama is going to leave all our alliances and relationships in the Mideast in smoking ruins.

HA: NBC’s Engel: US allies fear Obama admin leaking information to Iran

When reliable poodle NBC is biting Massuh's hand, you know it's gotten bad.

Egypt won't answer the phone, Egypt and UAE attack Libya's ISIS without telling us, now the Saudis and others are entering a war in Yemen without even a heads up to Uncle Yomama, they all say they don't trust us, don't trust Obama and Kerry not to leak everything they do to the Iranians, all for a lousy deal with Iran that no one thinks will work.

To be honest, I think that Israel and Netanyahu are now more popular and more trusted across the Mideast than America and Obama are. They're fine with Bibi but don't trust Bammy.

Think about that. It's truly shocking, even after the gross failures and stupidity we've seen throughout these Arab Spring debacles.
