If there was any doubt whether the intercepted "Fuck the EU" phone call
between Assistant Secretary of State Nuland and the US Ambassador to the
Ukraine Pyatt was authentic, it can now be laid to rest: in an earlier
response to questions from reporters, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki
did not dispute authenticity of recording and essentially confirmed it was
real "I didn’t say it was inauthentic."
However, in the tried and true fashion of assigning blame elsewhere, the
world learned that it was really all Russia's fault and the released
intercept was a "new low of Russian tradecraft." Psaki added that there are
moments "in every diplomatic relationship" when you disagree, Psaki says.
But the absolute punchline: "It’s concerning that private conversation was
recorded."
Perhaps maybe the NSA can opine on the concernability of a private
conversation being recorded.
Then again in a world in which only the NSA is allowed to record every
single private conversation, one can easily see why the State Dept thought
it was safe to discuss its state subordination strategy over what appears to
have been an unencrypted landline. At least the CIA used to communicate by
encrypted redlines.
Finally, while Russian "tradecraft" may have hit a new low, so did US
reputation and standing abroad, however offset by the humiliation and
embarrassment of US foreign policymakers which has never been higher. |
