There may be more or less about Kerry's "loose lips" re Iran and Israel, but he's always had a problem dealing with dictatorships. That he's currently boasting of "progress" with China & Russia on climate change would be funny if it didn't have real consequences.

As I warned in the WSJ even before it happened, it's terrifying to think of Kerry having enough influence to give up real lives and real concessions to dictatorships for climate fantasies they will never honor.

I used to joke that if you left Kerry and Lavrov together in a room long enough, Kerry would give Alaska back to Russia. Now he's eager to legitimize Putin & Xi Jinping for a handful of magic climate beans so he can boast of more brilliant dealmaking.
