When President Obama is correct— let’s say he is correct. When he is wrong on policy let us criticize with vigor. Missile shield for Europe?? No!! I don’t think so.Can’t care and we have no money. Put missile shield in Maine and near D.C. and in Seattle and San Diego. I don’t give a crap about Europe!!! Good job Mr. President!!!
Please read #148 and #150.
I’ll just cut to the chase.
Anyone on this thread that believe 0 did the right thing by scrapping the defense shield in Europe must not be carrying the burden of experience or knowledge of these matters and is speaking above his pay grade. Please leave this discussion to adults who have been around for a while and know what they are talking about.
I would disagree with this decision no matter who was president. At the very least, Obama is proving to be totally inept at foreign policy.
It’s a major concession to the Russians. He should have at least used it as a bargaining chip with Russia to get something concrete. Instead we got nothing. Russia will spin this domestically as a Russian victory and will portray us as weak and unreliable.
Russia has designs on eastern Europe and Georgia. Obama’s move will embolden Russia to pursue those designs more vigorously. China is also watching from the sidelines and biding it’s time until the US is perceived to be weak enough, then it will go for Taiwan.
I think Obama’s actions have us looking incredibly weak at the moment.
