TODAY'S BIG NUGGET: Obama's Not-Another-Cold-War Vision

Don't Hate the Players – Play the Game (Michael Cohen) from the Guardian [of the UK]
"Is he a realist? An internationalist? Maybe his foreign policy can be both, while throwing Putin shade and hugging Europe. ...  rarely has Obama so effectively navigated the middle ground between them – or quite so lovingly embraced Europe as he cast a distinctly icy glare at Vladimir Putin. In the process, the American president offered perhaps the clearest sense of his own vision on international relations: one that upholds the international system for its role in creating a world of greater peace and security – and explaining why, in an era of retrenchment, that system matters more than ever."
