America Invites Calamity Through Weakness - Putin learns who he can push around

Witness the latest fruits of modern leftist foreign policy, as embodied in this instance by the much ballyhooed Obama/Hillary Clinton “Russian Reset”: 298 people who booked a flight on Malaysian Air’s Flight 17, now dead. Brutally slaughtered by those thugs supplied and inspired by Vladimir Putin — the ex-KGB agent who has come to view the president of the United States and his secretary of state (make that secretaries of state, in the plural) as, in the vernacular, wimps. Leaving him free to do anything and everything from invading Crimea to supplying anti-aircraft missiles to his favored thugs prowling the Ukrainian countryside.

Because of the spectacular nature of the shootdown of Malaysian flight 17, suddenly the entire world is riveted to audio tapes capturing Russian “separatists” calmly killing — whether by accident or design — a plane load of civilians, a number of whom were some of the most important AIDS researchers in the world. The scenes of bodies strewn over Ukrainian fields could not more graphically or gruesomely — or tragically — display the results of weakness in foreign policy.

Vladimir Putin read those signals of weakness sent by Obama and Hillary and now John Kerry — and a plane load of AIDS researchers and others are dead. Will liberals get the message? Tragically, the odds are slim.

'MH17 was hit by mistake': US intelligence chiefs reveal they have found NO direct evidence linking Putin to doomed plane

"Russia was responsible for 'creating the conditions' that led to the shooting down of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, U.S. intelligence officials said, but they offered no evidence that Vladimir Putin was directly involved.

The senior intelligence officials were cautious in their assessment, noting that while the Russians have been arming separatists in eastern Ukraine, the U.S. had no direct evidence that the missile used to shoot down the passenger jet came from Russia."

Obama=the-undocumented Tyrant Indonesian Impostor
INFORMED PUTIN that he would be more “flexible”
after the election. He promised.

[Biggirl]

But does Obama KNOW about Putin being able to act like a bully?

[Sweating_Bullets]

I wonder what date he put down.

[dforest]

The policies Obama and his admin are for is what you see. His job here is not to strengthen America, his job is to deconstruct it.

Doe he look like he doesn’t care? Yes Because he doesn’t care.

Everything they touch turns into chaos. They start much of the trouble all over the world, make us look bad and move on to the next at breakneck speed.

He is the drive by _resident. They load up the manipulation and deceit, drive into a place, unload, then step on the gas and leave a disaster and mess for the fools who get involved with them

The sepratists shot down an air plane. I continue to believe that bravado and precedent allowed a shot in the excitement of the moment that turned out to be an airliner rather than a Ukranian transport.

Having successfully shot down a transport before it just didn’t cross their excited minds that the target this time was a commercial passenger aircraft

There was no Putin order nor any command to bring down an airliner.

Yup.

I do not see 0’s actions, or inaction, to be due to his ineptitude.
Quite to the contrary - he is happily serving his puppetmasters, and all is proceeding according to the plan.

Even supposing a person followed “O” strictly out of curiosity, they should have their curiosity satisfied BY NOW and find a better way!!

The U.S. had no direct evidence that the missile used to shoot down the passenger jet came from Russia."

Well Duhhh for double talk and the obvious --

No one has said that it was fired from Russia -- it was supplied by Russia and fired from Snitzhe.
