MOSCOWLamenting that internal disorganization was making it extremely difficult to get anything done, Russian officials voiced their frustration Thursday about continuing struggles to get policies through the dysfunctional Trump administration. Youd think that after being in the White House for a month, theyd have at least some rudimentary process for rolling out our new proposals, but its just been a mess so far, said Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, adding that the recent dismissal of Michael Flynn as national security advisor was just the tip of the iceberg in a chaotic White House where internal conflicts and numerous leaks made it hard for the Russians to implement any workable ideas at all. Nobody, but nobody, knows whos in charge. If theyre not dragging their feet getting our new legislative demands in front of Congress, theyre rushing out some executive order before weve even finalized it. We dont know whats going on half the time, so how on earth are we supposed to get anything accomplished? An exasperated Shoigu went on to say that the administration was in such disarray, rolling back sanctions might take a year longer than planned, and abandoning NATO might actually be out of the question.
