John Kerry: Dealing With Russia in the Cold War ‘Was Easier Than it is Today’

Kerry: ‘It Was Easier’ During the Cold War Than Today (Washington Free Beacon)

Secretary of State John Kerry declared “it was easier” during the Cold War than it is in the present for U.S. foreign policy during a State Department address Tuesday.

“During the Cold War, it may not have seemed so at the time obviously to great leaders, but it was easier than it is today,” he said. “Simpler is maybe a way to put it. The choices were less varied, less complicated, more stark, more clear. Communism, democracy. West, East. The Iron Curtain. The great line of divide.”
