It will be interesting to see how the country reacts to the depths of Obama’s dangerous incompetence and malevolence. How much of this will be tolerated while we are losing our grip in the world and becoming more vulnerable by the day? At some point a palpable level of national fear will set in.

Thanks to 50 years of public "education" Americans have become too collectively ignorant of the world around them and its history to perceive a threat from abroad. IMO.

Its still a matter of personal finances, I'm afraid - people won't be moved to do anything about their corrupt incompetent government until the pain becomes unbearable.

It all depends on how the media spins this. And they'll spin it to somehow make Obama look really good: Obama slaps down Putin with harsh statement! Obama refuses to fall into Putin's Ukraine trap! That sort of stuff.

Our problem is that most Americans couldn’t find most countries on a map.
They have no clue how diplomacy works. It was the strength of our country that kept us free and prosperous. No one would ever consider making us their enemy. Today, everyone knows that our leaders are weak, our population cares more about Government handouts and our morals have declined to rival Sodom and Gomorrah. Americans have no idea what it means to try to live in bad times where they would have to stand in line to be fed soup and bread.
Russia is expanding all over the world, close to our mainland. All it will take is China seeing an opportunity to join the other forces. We would be up the creek without a paddle. Or should I say with our dismantling of our military, without a defense? I have never seen a situation where our allies don’t trust us any more and our enemies forge alliances against us.
A sad situation formed by a community agitator.
