There may be more or less about Kerry& #39;s "loose lips" re Iran and Israel, but he& #39;s always had a problem dealing with dictatorships. That he& #39;s currently boasting of "progress" with China & Russia on climate change would be funny if it didn& #39;t have real consequences.

As I warned in the WSJ even before it happened, it& #39;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& #39;s eager to legitimize Putin & Xi Jinping for a handful of magic climate beans so he can boast of more brilliant dealmaking.
