Note the #1 observation from Dmitri Trenin: http://russialist.org/russia-ukraine-johnsons-russia-list-table-of-contents-jrl-2016-229-monday-12-december-2016/

When you are operating at his level, I will take you seriously but I know your record here and it is definitely anti-detente. You went out the political door with Hillary. The only security you can now hold on to is Angela Merkel. My suggestion is to follow her progress and also the French election.
