Headlines: A strategy of spectacle | The Economist: "When Russia started its bombing campaign in September, Barack Obama warned that Syria was “not some superpower chessboard contest, and anybody who frames it in that way isn’t paying very close attention to what’s been happening on the chessboard.” But if Mr Obama did not see it that way, Mr Putin did; and though what would come about on the chessboard mattered to him, the simple fact of playing mattered more." | Obama’s Cuba visit is latest step towards ‘new alliance of the Americas’ | World news | The Guardian

Obama flashed the GOP side a thumbs-up. Inside the Democratic dugout, according to several senior aides and lawmakers, the president’s usual allies were appalled by the scene: He was w
