Meanwhile, Obama and minions are still touting the Success Story of Yemen re: diplomatic successes. 18 US Citizens saved by the Russians - Obama leads from behind.

How many of those US "citizens" originate from the ME and whose alligiance remains with one or another sect of islam, carrying a US passport for convienence?
The loose borders of western civilization have not brought about the cosmopolitan one world dream.
Reading the news now leads one to ask, well yes, but of which tribe are these "citizens"?
Yep. It’s a success alright.
I guess Obama had no plan to evaquate the U.S. citizens? What a putz.
While Barky hobnobs with Cuban murderers, Rooskies evacuate Americans...
I never thought I would live to see this day—Russians rescuing Americans. Obama should stay in Cuba where he belongs!
Obviously, odumbo is too busy visiting our communist neighbors to worry about sending in the U.S. Navy to bring out our people. If those people die due to his obvious “care-less” attitude, he needs to be arrested, prisoned and/or shot.
Come now Obama wants America to be like Cuba. 2 classes filthy rich and dirt poor. Soon coming to America no middle class, no more boats, atvs, snowmobiles, mopeds, and motorcycles as these are luxury items.
Which is even sicker because the 5th Fleet is based in Bahrain that is a day sail away if that. Putin giving Zerø the finger again.
He’s not the only one.

Correction; Obama leads from THE behimd
“18 citizens of the United States”
I thought the Russians are the BAD GUYS now? At least that’s what President Obama demands we believe.
Our State Dept told them to contact India for help.
That fact is just the essence of madness. Having Russians offer them safe passage is the cherry on top of a bizarro world cake.
The non-Yemeni Americans got out a long time ago.
If they were illegals from Panama, Obama would have had them evacuated ASAP.
According to Ted Cruz and conservatives and pro-Americans, and Reagan republicans, the Russians are obviously bad guys.
This doesn’t change anything.
...and cash money says the six Estonians are ethic Russians, spawn of the soviet occupiers.
