Good insight. I always thought of the Bear mentioned in the Bible as representing Russia, what you just said gives me pause.
Dan 7:5
And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh.

One thing is for sure, Obama, whether just out of weakness or whether on purpose, has emboldened everyone who wants to make trouble around the world. The world burns and the boy wonder narcissist fiddles happily, as if all is going according to plan. His father hated the West and bringing the West down was his dream, and now Obama gets to act it out and live the dreams of his father. Never have so many suffered so much so one man could be so happy with himself.
