I don't want to panic you or anything, but I'm pretty sure our Little Marxist Dictator is getting over-matched by the Big Marxist in Moscow. For example:

A senior Russian diplomat says Moscow may change its stance in the Iranian nuclear talks amid tensions with the West.

Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov was quoted Wednesday as saying by the Interfax news agency that Russia didn't want to use the Iranian nuclear talks to "raise stakes," but may have to do so in response to the actions by the United States and the European Union.

In other words, "Do as we say, Comrade, or Teheran gets a nuke." And you wonder why so many of us hate multilateralism? This is why: People you reluctantly decide you can trust go and pull the rug out from under you.

Then there's this:

Russia signaled concern on Wednesday at Estonia's treatment of its large ethnic Russian minority, comparing language policy in the Baltic state with what it said was a call in Ukraine to prevent the use of Russian.

Russia has defended its annexation of Ukraine's Crimea peninsula by arguing it has the right to protect Russian-speakers outside its borders, so the reference to linguistic tensions in another former Soviet republic comes at a highly sensitive moment.

Russia fully supported the protection of the rights of linguistic minorities, a Moscow diplomat told the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva, according to a summary of the session issued by the U.N.'s information department.

"Language should not be used to segregate and isolate groups," the diplomat was reported as saying. Russia was "concerned by steps taken in this regard in Estonia as well as in Ukraine," the Moscow envoy was said to have added.

Hmm ... and in case you don't remember, or missed the ominous tone there, Estonia is a member of NATO, and is right next door to Russia. Estonia's combined military forces are roughly equal to the crew of a Nimitz-class carrier and it's air wing personnel. Russia also happens to be holding military maneuvers just the other side of Estonia's eastern border.

To put things in perspective:

Their guy ...

Our guy ...

And what's "our guy" doing today?

Obama is a disgrace. He was a disgrace as a community organizer. He was a disgrace as an Illinois state Senator. He was a disgrace as a US Senator. He is a disgrace as president.
