Reuters: Kerry denies split between U.S. and Europe on Russia policy
(Reuters) - Secretary of State John Kerry denied on Sunday that a split has emerged between Washington and Europe over how to handle Russia, after leading U.S. senators sharply criticized Germany and other countries who oppose sending arms to the Ukraine military.
WNU Editor: I disagree. In all my decades of following NATO, Europe, Russia, and the U.S. .... I have never seen the top leaders of NATO so divided .... especially between the U.S. and its major European partners on what should be the current policy vis-a-vis Russia. In all fairness .... it is Europe that will experience the brunt of any escalation in the conflict in Ukraine .... so their concerns are different from America's. I also expect this division to grow. The post-Cold War understanding on how relations are to followed and that has kept the peace in Europe since the fall of the Berlin Wall and the dissolution of the Soviet Union are now in ruins .... and everyone is justifiably worried.

So why does Kerry lie?
The situation is worse so his game has to be better to keep it from deteriorating.
The situation is so bad, he could make Hillary look good.
The would not be the right characterization but it would be one.
