So, The Won will not be going to Berlin to celebrate the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Olympics for Chicago? Quick hop to Denmark.
Nobel Award? Quick hop to Norway.
Forty one years of Hot and Cold War after the Russians inspired the Berlin airlift, WE prevailed, and THEY lost. And The Won cannot be bothered to celebrate.
What a complete dick.
This probably means he's got some secret diplomacy going on that needs Russian acquiescence. He appears to have forgotten he's dealing with the land of Ivan the Terrible, Stalin, and the knout. You don't impress the Russians by poncing along the Tiergarten, giving airy-fairy speeches you repudiate in less than a year. You impress the Russians by kicking them out of Afghanistan, Central America, and Grenada. Acquiescence gets you nothing with the Russians.
Mark it: within six months we'll hear of some failed no-longer-secret diplomatic gambit whose success depended, on other things, on The Won being absent from celebrating the fall of the Berlin Wall.
The Won: Hooked; fished in.
