Paul and McAdams, who serves as the executive director of the Ron Paul Institute, pointed out that it could have been a „tactical retreat“ on the part of the Obama administration, not a permanent shift.

„Perhaps, I‘m a little cynical but I don‘t believe that the US foreign policy would change on a dime. [Kerry] traveled [to Moscow] with Victoria Nuland and Celeste Wallander, who are two extremely anti-Russian personalities. The Ambassador [John] Tefft is still very strongly anti-Russian,“ McAdams detailed.
