The Obama-Medvedev meeting in Seoul in 2012!? Talk about throwing noodles against the wall ! Obama was talking about the new round of New START talks ! Obama rightly said that starting that negotiations in an election year made no sense. Embarrassing whataboutism.
And this lawyer is completely distorting what Gates was discussing ! Google "EPAA." Obama administration DID NOT COMPROMISE the United States by putting off new START talks ! A truly embarrassing line of argumentation.
The Obama administration INCREASED the number of MD interceptors and radars in Europe. & we were focused on using MD (SM3s) to defend Europe better against the Iranian threat. Recent attacks in Iraq have proven the wisdom of that pivot. #FactsMatter.
I write about this history in detail in chapter 11 of this book: amazon.com/Cold-War-Hot-P….
And I warned about whataboutism in this piece last week: Be prepared to fight a dangerous new wave of disinformation during the Senate trial washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/…. Ok, back to work. No more tv watching.
