Sarah Palin's Foreign Policy Experience in Two Seconds!

[Joanne98]

You can get Sarah Palin's foreign policy experience in just 2 seconds!
All you have to do is look at these photos of Russia's Big Diomede Island, which can be seen from Alaska.

The Russian island has been uninhabited since World War II. The American one has a population of 146.


The island on the left is part of the United States.
The one on the right is Russian.



Here's a better view of just the Russian one:



And our rock island and Russia's from space:



Man, I don't know about you, but after looking at those photos, I feel much more qualified to talk to Vladimir Putin about strategic nuclear weapons, which countries to let into NATO, and whether we are risking a world war by trying to encroach on Caspian Sea oil or by attacking Iran.

Don't you feel it too?

Thank you, Sarah Palin, for helping so many of us to become foreign policy experts by looking at a rock that happens to belong to another country.

2. thank you, Joanne98

for this expansive lesson in foreign policy. In fact, thanks to the many vantage points you shared with us, I feel even more of an expert than Sarah Palin must. After you showed me the many vantage points from every direction of the 2 islands, I have a MUCH broader knowledge of what must affect each of the two countries. She stated that she had seen Russia from only one vantage point, but now I have seen Russia from U.S. soil, U.S. from Russia, and both of the islands from space-- every which way. Ask me anything.
