Speaking at the BRICS summit this week, Russian President Vladimir Putin deplored the “low political culture” of American leaders.

To say that is not merely about making a facetious swipe at American politicians. Far more seriously, it points to how difficult and dangerous international relations are when a major party is so evidently obtuse to reason and facts.
