Barack Obama’s chances of re-election in three and a half years’ time may be evaporating at unprecedented speed, but his presidential ambitions could still be realised in another direction. He would be a shoo-in to win the next Russian presidential election, so high is his popularity now running in the land of the bear and the knout. Obama has done more to restore Russia’s hegemonial potential in Eastern and Central Europe than even Vladimir Putin.
His latest achievement has been to restore the former satellite states to dependency on Moscow, by wimping out of the missile defence shield plan. This follows on his surrender last July when he voluntarily sacrificed around a third of America’s nuclear capability for no perceptible benefit beyond a grim smile from Putin. If there is one thing that fans the fires of aggression it is appeasement.
Despite propaganda to the contrary, 58 per cent of Poles were in favour of the missile shield. But small nations must assess the political will of larger powers. Thanks to President Pantywaist’s supine policies, the former satellite states can see that they are fast returning to their former status. The American umbrella cannot be relied upon on a rainy day. They have been here before. Poles remember how a leftist US president sold them out to Russia at Tehran and Yalta. The former Czechoslovakia was betrayed twice: in 1938 and 1945.
If the word is out that America is in retreat, it will soon find it has no friends. The satellites will pragmatically accept their restored subordination, without openly acknowledging it, and co-operate with their dangerous neighbour, ushering in a new generation of Finlandisation.
Bringing unstable states like Georgia into Nato would be a liability, not a defence.

The People of Poland and the Czech Republic offer their “thanks” to the majority of American voters for their “enlightened” vote for “Hope and Change.”
Hey America! How's that hopey changey thing workin' out for ya?
“If the word is out that America is in retreat, it will soon find it has no friends. “
Bozo makes Carter look like Churchill. Wow - sucks to have such a woos in the White House....
In just one year this POS has managed to undue all the work and sacrifices of far better people. At least of the past 40 years.

Are you insinuating that the Russian people are as stooopid as 52.4% of the U.S. population?
This author is great. President Pantywaist. LOL
Ironically, by deluding himself that America is imperialistic, Obama plays into the hands of a power that truly is.
What are the birth certificate qualifications in Russia for a person to run for office?
An Iranian missile headed for New York would fly over Poland. Of course if that happens, Obama will no longer be in office, so either his successor (if a Republican) or George W. Bush will be blamed.
Normally, I would take great offense to some Euroweenie calling our C-I-C a pantywaist. It’s not in me. The man is a disgrace and unfit for office.
President 0bama fancies himself another President Lincoln. In actuality, he’s another President Polk.
President Polk had the Fugitive Slave Laws; President 0bama has the Fugitive Satellite Laws.
“President 0bama fancies himself another President Lincoln. In actuality, he’s another President Polk.”
Actually, Zero fancies himself as the object of a personality cult, much like Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez.
