Now, now.. that's too harsh.
Didn't he draw a line in Syria? Didn't he then draw another?
Why, if he hadn't run out of all the fun colors of crayons he'd have drawn even more.
No foreign policy indeed.
He said he was going to cut a deal with Putin after he was re-elected, more wiggle room. I guess Putin knew how shallow Obama was then.
i wouldn’t expect much from a president who curtsies to most of the heads of state in the world.
America elected and re-elected intellectual infant, while portraying a wise candidate like Sarah Palin as an idiot! Will we learn?
Now, now.. that's too harsh.

Clinton bears responsibility. The Budapest Memorandum was a horrible agreement that only guaranteed this would eventually happen.
And then we have the inestimable John Kerry as Secretary of State, who said recently something to the effect that global warming is the biggest threat we face.
I guess taking another “Overcharge” button to Moscow isn’t going to work this time.
Why is an ex-Bush official giving Obama advice on how to handle this? Seriously, all ex-GOP foreign policy folks should STFU and let Obama and the Dems stew in their own feces.
and Libya...and Egypt...and Iraq...and Afghanistan...and Gitmo prisoners...NSA surveillance...and summer of recovery...and Obamacare...and the reset button...and al qaeda...and race relations...and military preparedness...(please feel free to add to the list)...
Is there anything undamaged by this dope heads touch?
No word from the Benghazi Cover-Up woman who told the world we now have a “reset” button with Russia. No questions from the media, just like they buried “The Road to 9/11” that catalogued the Clinton inactions as the cause for 9/11.
I heard Obama’s next and final line in the sand is to “de-friend” Putin on Facebook.
Putin knows exactly what he is doing and in my humble opinion Obama does not have a move to make. This is a checkmate.
Keep your eyes on China.
Question for everyone who wants us to “do something”. Just what do you propose? The world has changed. Two nuclear powers are not going to have another tank battle on the plains.
The US is broke, the military stretched thin, and there is no way we can do anything to stop Russia. Obama is an incompetent boob, but you would not see any president get into it with Russia over the Ukraine.
It also sucks to be us with Obama as commander in chief. My fear is that he’ll feel the need to finally prove his manhood by doing something incredibly stupid vis a vis his old buddy Vladimir, and get us in a shooting war with Russia that neither can win. That’s a long shot I realize, but with dumb pansies like Obama and Kerry in charge, anything can happen.
Now we have Kerry announcing that the military option is on the table.
They bring shame to this nation. There is no military option...at least one we could trust to these incompetents.
We'll be lucky if they don't get us all killed.
Obama will call it the “Russian Spring” declare victory and head out to the golf course.
"...when arriving in the one part of Ukraine everyone knew might one day, through either war or secession, be reunited with Russia...""Crimea is in Ukraine, but it isn’t Ukrainian. This part of the country really is Russian. By this point I had learned the alphabet well enough that I could read, so I knew the gigantic words “Автономной Республики Крым” announced to all visitors at the border that Crimea is an autonomous republic..."
"Only a fourth of its citizens are ethnic Ukrainians... Kiev has been trying for years to teach everyone in the country the Ukrainian language, but in Crimea it’s meeting the stiffest resistance..."
"Even though Yalta is significantly north of the Mediterranean, the climate, at least for a narrow little band near the beach, is startlingly subtropical. It’s one of the only places in the world where a native Russian-speaking population can grow palm trees. It’s not only the language, but the political autonomy, and the general Russian-ness that set Crimea apart from Ukraine. It’s also those mountains and the trees and the moderate sea breeze..."
Odds are, Ukraine will not get it back.
We often hear of "the Middle East" and "the Far East," but few think about the Near East that is roughly from the Crimea, thence west to the Adriatic ... and includes so many "balkanized" states, where the west ends.
Some liberal Americans used to complain that the US should not be the world’s “police force”. Ok, with Obama we are no longer the world’s police force.
And what happens to a place when the police pull out? Just look at the world we are in today. Africa, south america, Asia Europe, Eurasia - what is happening is the direct result of a US power vacuum.
You can’t make an incompetent man president without consequences.
