- Ein Unruhestifter ist US-Botschafter in Moskau (Alles Schall und Rauch, 18.12.2014)
also:
1996-1999: Moskau (Botschaftsvertreter)
2000-2003: Litauen (Botschafter)
2004-2005: State Department für Europa und Eurasien (Staatsuntersekretär)
2005-2009: Georgien (Botschafter)
2009-2013: Ukraine (Botschafter)
meine Bemerkung:
Die Entsendung des geübten Unruhestifters Tefft ist für sich genommen schon ein unfreundlicher Akt. Aber mit der Resolution 758 des Kongresses (mit der der Kongress nun offiziell Rußland für den Abschuß von MH-17 verantwortlich macht und über die ja hierzulande nicht berichtet wird, weil die Leute die Amerikaner für bekloppt halten könnten) hat sich die US-Regierung selbst einen Jagdschein ausgestellt. Jetzt zählen nur noch die Scheuklappen: Regime-Change für Freiheit, Demokratie und real existierenden US-Kaptalismus!
