He the egoist sparingly uses “I”; our president the supposed consensus builder does so promiscuously. He reminded us of the demonstrably true fact that there are Islamists in the Syrian opposition and of the probably false fact that the Assad government is not using WMD. In general, Putin has conveyed a tougher military stance that has the president of the far more powerful U.S., a more humanitarian image than our smart- and soft-power leadership (do we still remember Hillary’s public chortle over Qaddafi — “We came, we saw, he died”?), and a more internationalist pose than our Nobel-laureate internationalist.
Putin lecturing Obama on the sacred value of the U.N. — who’da thunk it?
If a Russian dissident wrote and published a cry of the heart to the Russian people, begging Vladimir Putin to stop his harassment of opposition groups, journalists, gays, and ethnic activists and to moderate his behavior toward the former Soviet republics, he would either be jailed or disappear. That we not merely forget that fact, but are now increasing unaware of it, is testament to Putin’s political genius, which has capitalized on each embarrassing American misstep.
That we now receive sermons from Putin not just about morality, but even about U.S. self-interest, and that such advice is only two-thirds fantasy is testament to our own recent ineptitude and confusion — and, yes, to this administration’s bad habit of engaging in its own fantasies and obfuscations.
Sadly, Putin is now an impressive creature — but one in part of our own making.
Mr. Putin, the fact that you are a more adroit Machiavellian than our own president is a Wilsonian proves only that you are the superior strategist — not the moralist you imagine yourself, and surely not more moral than the president whom you seem so easily to embarrass.

Compare and contrast.
A hobbit for president? She is available if we have the courage to draft her.
And on our side, we have Baracka Wormtongue.
... the probably false fact that the Assad government is not using WMD ...
***********
Where is the unclassified proof that Assad used the gas rather than his Islamic opponents? Obama has the burden of proof. Are we going to go to war based on a “probably false fact”?
How old was Vladimir Putin in WW2 ???
The Eye of Soros...
Putin's influence in the middle east scares me to death.
Victor Davis Hanson has a screw loose... he is still living in the 1960s during the Cold War...
Russia has a flat tax.
Russia does not have gay pride marches in their army.
National Review is a disgrace anymore, as far as I am concerned, they are a bunch of gay boys.
The Democrats controlling the US military scares me more than Putin.
I really don’t care about the Middle East... We have bigger fish to fry in the Western hemisphere...
Russia does not have gay pride marches with their army.
Hey, what’s the problem with living in a prison, as long as you have a flat tax, and your leader is anti-homo?
Believe me we won't have to wait long for them to come knocking on our door.
I don't know what religious beliefs you have but I was always curious as to why we in the US don't seem to fit into the Book of Revelations.
Obama in charge of the US may explain that. The pieces just might be coming together.
We have refugees and criminals streaming across our own border with Mexico because of the narcoterrorists, mass graves, beheadings, kidnappings, forced prostitution, and chemical warfare with the narcotics.
We should be thinking about protecting Americans and put the US Army on our border... and if the Mexican government doesn’t do something, we should invade them with the US Marine Corps and have a regime change there...
We have problems closer to home that have been ignored for far too long.
To hell with the Middle East.
Broken clocks are right twice a day.
The central focus of the US State Department for the last five years has been some kind of a faggot jihad promoting homosexuality.
The attempt by our own State Department to steal the Russian elections for their comrades in the Russian Communist Party through non-profit NGOs was soundly beaten by Vladimir Putin (love him or hate him).
This is why Russia cracked down on non-profit groups, something that should be done here in the USA with the 501c(3) racketeering.
The homosexual attack on the Orthodox Church by the queer punk band Pussy Riot, who were on the payroll of State Department funded NGOs, is another reason. Lesbian weirdo Madonna was also flown in as a provocateur...
The US government is run by a bunch of ass clowns, nobody can blame this on Putin...
“Where is the unclassified proof that Assad used the gas rather than his Islamic opponents?”
If classified proof is good enough for Reagan, Bush,WBush, Clinton....It’s good enough for the nitwit Obama.
But seriously, we have confirmed Sarin tests on scene in Sunni / Rebel villages. Of course Assad did it, we even know which units carried it out.
That being said, it is fruitless and against US interests to assist the Sunni AQ affiliated rebels.
As to the Middle East and the rest of the world, if we had someone like Reagan as President, I would feel a lot more comfortable with our situation with other nation in the world.
Obama has so weakened our credibility, I doubt any nation takes us seriously for the next 3 years.
