Another Medal Contender in the "Lack of Self-Awareness Olympics"

Daniel Fried, Assistant Secretary of State for Fucking up the World, is going for the gold in both the Stupidity and Self-Oblivious Events:

"Russia is going to have to come to terms with the reality it can either integrate with the world or it can be a self-isolated bully. But it can't be both. And that's a choice Russia has to have," Fried said.

And how, exactly, does that differ from the way that the Bush Administration has conducted its foreign policy? "Bullying" is the signature tactic of George Bush and Vice President Voldemort.

Let's be clear on this central point: Georgia started this war. Russia did not. It turned out badly for Georgia. Too fucking bad for them. You don't get a free pass for stupidity and aggression just because your nation is nominally a democracy.

And let's also be clear on this: There are a lot of places in the world where, for not a huge investment, Russia can make life very difficult for American foreign policy, if they so choose.
