Interesting angle.

You are right about his own assessment about the Cult of Personality, his personality and ideology.

I just cannot see him going to war or seriously using American power (whatever is left of it) to attack anybody at anytime for any reason.

The man won a Nobel PEACE Prize, he cannot and will not attack anybody, he simply can't.

He is incapable of hurting a fly, especially a Muslim fly.

Obama doesn't need to have a war to stay in office. All he has to do is tell congress and the courts that he will not recognize the election in 16 as valid and that he will not let a new administration come in " and destroy America"

Congress will back down, the DOJ will agree with him and the Supreme Court will go change their Depends.

Very bizarre and every time you read about Russia or Putin, even if it is showing Obama up you act the same. It’s like a trigger inside you.

Because there are some really stupid people here who just don't seem to understand how evil and deceptive Putin and the Russians are.

As for Obama, that SOB has basically paved the way for Putin to expand Russian power and influence throughout the world with his weakness, stupidity, and general anti-American world view. He and Putin actually have a lot in common. Both seek the same basic "new international order", involving a weaker US, and stronger Russia and China.

They (Obama Administration) has created such a chaotic mess in the Middle East one has to consider where loyalties truly rest

No big secret; a careful consideration of the situation only leads to one conclusion: this administration's loyalties lie with any enemy of America; their actions prove it.

“Someone write up the rational for us being in Syria. There isn’t one.

It is of no strategic value, we have no economic interest there and if Israel had a problem, we would feed them ammo and let them handle it.

Our involvement makes no sense.

Russia has a strategic interest in Syria as it allows them to use one of their ports for fleet operations.

Let them clean up the mess.”

Exactly right.

I reiterate, Bibi and Vladimir both hate Obama and ISIS. They are working together here. Vladimir and Bibi get along.

Yeah, and Obama and Putin came up with the deal which forces the US to come to the defense of "we will wipe Israel off the face of the map" Iran, protecting them from Israel, should they decide to strike Iranian nuke facilities. Did you not know that?

Trump: Iran Deal Requires U.S. Protecting Iran in Event of Israeli Strike

by Jacob Kornbluh
Sept 2, 2015

In a phone interview with CNN Tuesday evening, Trump claimed that there’s “something in the Iran deal” that “people don’t understand” saying if someone attacks Iran, “we have to come to their defense.”

“Does that include Israel?” Trump asked. “And most people say yes, they don’t have an exclusion for Israel. So if Israel attacks Iran, according to that deal, I believe, the way it reads, unless they have a codicil or they have something to it, that we have to fight with Iran against Israel.” ..."

Trump was most probably referring to language highlighted by the opponents of the deal. On page 142, the deal includes a clause that states, “Co-operation through training and workshops to strengthen Iran’s ability to protect against, and respond to nuclear security threats, including sabotage, as well as to enable effective and sustainable nuclear security and physical protection systems.”

Washington-based Center for Security Policy asserted that Annex III appears “to commit the United States and other world powers to the defense of Iran’s nuclear program.”

Ground troops will be absolutely vital to separate the rats and roaches from their US weapons and scourge them from the civilians they hide among

And I do believe they will be put on full display to show what this administration has been up to and further back the US off out of that area.

Putin will decimate about half the ISIS forces, allow the remainder to run into Iraq where Obama will consider them refugees and offer free food and knife sharpeners.

Look for the next big move to come simultaneously:

Iran will move to control most of Iran.
China will seize more disputed islands by force in the Pacific.
Russia will increase Cold War overflights and consolidate more power in Eastern Ukraine.

Obama is playing checkers.
Putin...chess.

Meanwhile the US media will put laugh lines together to ensure Trump can’t close the border with Mexico.

Romney was wrong on a lot of things. But he would have been an actual commander in chief.

I guess it was a really good idea for so many to stay home or vote third party. A lesson had to be taught to the GOP. Well, that is working out nicely. There are some who still are proud of their vote or lack of vote.

When you lead from behind, you tend to get in the way.

CNN was reporting that the Russians probably would not be as concerned about collateral damage and civilians. CNN maybe did not mean to, but they implied that the Russians might have success because of that.

Their early attacks seemed to be against Assad opposition rather than ISIS/ISIL.

Black Sea Fleet has at least one Yasen Class Fast Attack Submarine armed with Caliber Cruise Missiles. The Severodvisnk is part of the new “Black Hole” submarine upgrade the Russians have developed. These and the Borei Class “Boomers” are virtually undetectable. Our Carriers go through the Dardinelles. They don’t come out.

Obama will be long gone, and Trump will be President. All bets and faux treaties will become immaterial. We will have Israel’s back then. And Russia’s attitude will be much different once Obama is out of the WH.
