Definition of Luck: When preparation meets opportunity.

Obama and Putin were apparently chatting this idea up at the G20.

Fucking Obama really is playing 11-dimensional chess and we’re all just watching from the sidelines trying to understand the first few pages of the rules manual.

More like he is being whipped at tic-tac-toe. The bad guys propose and will agree to negotiate some grand inspection or weapons turn over plan. It will take 6 months? a year? 2 years? I predict never. In the mean time they pay no price. Everyone will soon forget, and they will continue to on as before.

We will take the offer, to get off the political hook, look very reasonable, fool a lot of people, and accomplish zip, zero, nada.

I am however in favor to accepting the offer to negotiate. I still think this is a mess we need to do our best to stay out of. Is that the 11th dimension play?
