Obama is however, the worst President in US history and he has shot down 57 friendly fighters, we call him an A**.
Obama is at war indeed, but at war with his own country and most of our allies. This all looks like a so-called leader pointing a revolver to his head and warning us all to stand back before he kills himself and the Republic for which he sits...
Democrats often pine for better times when they still had a few folks on the inside with personal credibility. The crop in power now have mostly all abondoned any character in favor of expediency. I have said it before, but they expect to be treated as if they have credibility and character because of the positions they hold. You can see thier operatives on the various pundit shows often demanding these awful people be respected and honored. But we see the institutional reserve beginning to break down now at true crisis levels.
Assuming the story is true as presented there are so many things wrong I’d have to diagram a response. But a shoot from the hip says, why did they hold a meeting in an unsecure location? Note to diplomats. Look up diplomacy. One definition is getting agreement for a course of action from people who disagree with you. The very worst thing you can do is to ever show your own emotional hole cards.
Also, what was the objective of the meeting? Were the right people there to achieve that objective? Senators, for example, write laws. They should have nothing to do with diplomacy.
Everything that is described in the article is crazy.
Um, whut ? Those turkeys almost got us into WW3 on JFK's watch (nevermind laying the groundwork for a clusterf**k on Vietnam).
This is just madness. Obama is managing to destroy relations with BOTH Russia, as well as those who oppose Russia
obammy and company resemble the Keystone cops.
What a pathetic joke this bumbling fool is.
I can easily hit *this* one out of the park.Canadians can learn (if they haven't already) that NATO's backbone is led by a community organizer who is,among other things on record as having promised "flexibility" to the former KGB officer behind MH 17 and who,just the other day,threatened to nuke Danish naval vessels.
Nuland is married to Robert Kagan, a “neoconservative writer” who often argues for America to not abandon its role as sole superpower, and that a strong US is good for world democracy. During the Reagan years, he was a speechwriter for George Schultz, foreign policy advisor for Jack Kemp, and served in the State Department Bureau of Inter-American Affairs... but he describes himself as a liberal and a progressive these days (4-26-08, Guardian article). Interesting.
This is a strange article. When Gen. Breedlove says that ‘relatively moderate delivery of anti-tank weapons’ aims to ‘raise the battlefield cost for Putin, to slow down the whole problem’ the author acts hysterical saying ‘Breedlove’s shocking attitude to collateral damage - he refers to it as a “battlefield cost”’ and in the next paragraph compares anti tank missiles to nuclear weapons in Cuba.
I don’t see the big danger for collateral damage from anti-tank missiles and I don’t think she is writing in good faith when comparing atgm-s to nukes in Cuba.
They’re right... the EU was gutless, and will encourage Putin to go further.
The writer’s a leftwing loon.
