Obama comes from a community organizer mentality of the hard left. The strategy in community organizing is to bully, intimidate, bluff, and humiliate the opposition into caving. There is no strategy for building coalitions, relationships, or win-win outcomes. During Obama's years as a community organizer, things were pretty mush a cake walk. It wasn't like in the early civil rights days when civil rights activists could be killed. By the time Obama was a community organizer, whites were pretty much caving in on anything, and more often than not, any conflict wasn't even genuine, because both sides were from the Left. How much conflict is there in deciding between the democrat government, democrat unions, and democrat community organizers on how to distribute other people's money?
As president, for the first time, he and his team, fresh from their graduate schools, are having to negotiate with people who are working in the best interest of their own peoples. And things are not going well for Obama, because real politics is not going like their term papers said it would, and they are not caving in like Obama's only previous experience.
Now we see how out of his league Obama really is.
>> More evidence this administration is completely inapable of negotiating or building coalitions.
Well, no... but have you seen them putt? Awesome for amateurs.
Next comes a brand spanking new Russian naval base in the heart of the Mediterranean.
I think you make very astute observations here.
The UK sovereign bases on Cyprus are sovereign and they have no say over them. I’m sure the British will let the US use them, even if they can no longer get directly involved.
The U.S. would not need Greek Cypriot territory to launch strikes against Syria. The Turkish Republic of North Cyprus could be used, as well as Turkey herself. Both of those jurisdictions are majority Sunni Muslim, so they would be happy to help Obama arrange the slaughter of the 2.5 million Alawites and 2.5 million Christians behind Assad.
