What would you have Obama do right now?TedSheckler;1587128 wrote:Bush and Putin understood each other, because each knew what the other was capable of. Putin sees Obama as weak. What Bush said about Putin being trustable was only meant to flatter him. He didn't believe him. He never gave Putin any major unilateral concession. When he sought Putin's approval of something in the UN Security Council and Putin vetoed it (Iraq), Bush ignored the veto and acted anyway. Obama instead gave a concession to Putin (canceling the missile defense) and believes he can do nothing unless the UN Security Council blesses it. Obama told Putin that after the election, he would be softer.
Izzy, I told you before on another thread to get your head out of the Daily Kos,(though you denied it)... and I meant it.

Apologize to Palin for what? She made that comment in the context of Russia's invasion of Georgia. Did she want the US to send troops and begin a war with Russia in that situation? What did she want Obama to do differently than condemn Russia's actions much like McCain did? And again people calling Obama weak for calling for sanctions, etc. Do you want to send troops to Ukraine? If not, what is the alternative action that isn't "weak" like sanctions?fish82;1587316 wrote:Apologize to Sarah Palin and Mittens. After that, IDGAF. : thumbup:
sigh...I don't know what you do because policies that have been employed and actions that have occurred have now come home to roost. Unilateral concessions, deferring to Europe in the Libya revolution, wishwashyness towards Egypt, drawing 'redlines' and allowing them to be crossed without serious action, impotence in Syria, flunking crisis management in Benghazi.....nature abhors a vaccuum, and the power vaccuum left by the U.S.'s lack of leadership and committmnent has and will continue to result in other players exerting their muscle both regionally and worldwide.What would you have Obama do right now?
So what? She called Ukraine, and got beat over the head for it...same with Mittens, and Obie went all Glib Cool Foreign Policy Expert on him. Now, they both look like Henry Kissinger, and Obie steps on his own dick for the 40th time.I Wear Pants;1587321 wrote:Apologize to Palin for what?
