Vladimir Putin sees Barack Obama's coolness as weakness – and it is hurting America

Russian warplanes began bombing American-backed Syrian opposition strongholds on Wednesday, a move that can be viewed as the latest example of American humiliation abroad.

This all comes on the heels of President Barack Obama's drawing of a "red line" regarding the use of chemical weapons, only to back down when the Assad regime – by most accounts – used them. This past week, White House press secretary Josh Earnest strained credulity when he said Mr Obama doesn't regret drawing that red line.

Coolness? It’s pure apathy and hateful laziness.

“Coolness”?
Could have fooled me.......the Obamatolla has had difficulty controlling his RAGE! And his vengence will fall upon ordinary Christian Americans who will have to fight to keep their Bibles and their guns.

He does the soul strut walk in countries that don’t care one iota about the black meme and coolness.

He does indeed do the "soul strut walk." He also tries to look like a basketball star when he goes up stairs.

But he wears Mom jeans and works out with 10 pound weights, haha.

From upthread:

‘Once again, it takes a British newspaper to report on the US. The dinosaur media and newspapers have failed. They no longer report the news, the truth, they are mere lapdogs for the newest leftist in power. Shame on you you guys and your demise is imminent, closer day by day.’

Uh oh, 4Z, looks like your ‘Internationalist’ message isn’t getting out. You may need to up your game.

Someone once called Obama so "cool" that he is the "black Frank Sinatra".

He let that go right to his head....and he actually believes he's the epitome of "cool".

Proof of this is the fact that he's been doin' everything "his way" ever since.

He is cool. But the coolness is a defense mechanism. He is also clueless. Obama is a disaster. Has caused untold misery in Iraq, needlessly.

Title claims Obama is "cool" and Putin is misunderestimating him.

Yeah, right, Obama's perfect we all just can't see it.

It’s not cool. It’s detachment and self-absorption. He has only a few topics that interest him, primarily himself. He’s also interested in race (though only when it comes to hectoring whites), anti-Westernism, compiling list after list of America’s ‘sins,’ and comparing what’s right with Islam vs what’s wrong with Christianity. Oh, and he also enjoys the whole post-colonialism hatefest. That’s about it. He finds everything else boring.

What does Vladimir Putin see Barack Obama's weakness as?

Of course he hurts America, Obama has been hurting America for almost 7 years now.

Unless the whole thing is unfolding as Obama planned - perhaps this is something that Obama had the freedom to discuss after the election.

We are watching the development of a Russia-Syria-Iran axis. As a counterweight to Israel. So yes, it's possible that Obama desires it.

It has been said that when you watch a political debate, you should turn down the sound and predict the winner, via body language.

Somehow this photo got past the White House media filters.

Russians hate blacks. They despise them as worthless.

It’s not coolness. It actually is weakness. Not too difficult to decipher.

Psychological projection, also known as blame shifting, is a theory in psychology in which humans defend themselves against unpleasant impulses by denying their existence in themselves, while attributing them to others
