President Obama and President Putin via phone calls discussed de-escalation of the crisis in Ukraine this week. While President Putin supposedly seemed pro diplomacy all of a sudden, it has become obvious to me that President Putin is aware that the United States in recent years immediately de-escalates it's own threats as soon as diplomacy is on the table. He is using this trend to de-escalate us, not the conflict in Ukraine. He's had a 24 year political career and an extensive background in subversive tactics with the KGB, the man knows how to play people and is currently playing President Obama.
Then the two Presidents sent their diplomatic lackeys, Secretary Kerry and Secretary Lavrov respectively to continue the de-escalation talks, Meanwhile the news eats that up and claims progress in the situation. But has there been progress? There are still Russian troops in Crimea, Russia is still legislatively annexing Crimea and they are still massing forces on the border of Ukraine. Done believe this is progress people, It's far from it.
