If Putin remains anti-American, he need not worry about Obama

Just before Russian President Vladimir Putin orchestrated Russia's takeover of Crimea, the US's Broadcasting Board of Governors that controls Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty announced that it will be ending its broadcast to Iraq and the Balkans next year.

And this makes sense. As far as the Obama administration is concerned, Iraq ceased to exist in 2011, when the last US forces got out of the country.

As for the Baltics, well, really who cares about them? Russia, after all, wants the same things America does. Everything will be fine.

As Obama said to Governor Mitt Romney during one of the 2012 presidential debates, "The 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back because the Cold War's been over for 20 years."

During the election, Obama was famously caught on an open microphone promising President Putin's stand-in Dmitry Medvedev that he would have "more flexibility," on missile defense after the presidential election.

He asked Medvedev to ask Putin to give him "more space" until after November 2012.

With a five-and-half-year record of selling US allies like Poland, the Czech Republic and even the Syrian opposition out to please Putin, it should be obvious that Obama will do nothing effective to show Putin the error of his ways in Ukraine.

Obama doesn't have a problem with Putin. And as long as Putin remains anti-American, he will have no reason to be worried about Obama.

"Obama is a Soviet agent"

I sometimes wonder -based on Obama's open mike- "I'll have more flexibility after the election" comment- If Obama and Putin aren't actually comrades playing the old "good cop, bad cop" routine on us.

...comrades playing the old "good cop, bad cop" routine on us.

Maybe. The one known as "obama" answers to someone. To me it looks like theirs is more of an old world familial sort of relationship and Putin is Boss.

Big deal. Iran can never use them offensively since their entire country would be turned to glass in retaliation and become a pariah state. And for what? Their handful of nukes couldn't destroy all the USA or Europe. They couldn't even take out of all Israel and the tens of millions of Jews outside of Israel would hunt down every last Iranian if it took a thousand years.

Tell it to these guys:

They believe being "martyred" by the kuffar in war gives you an instant ticket into Heaven. Think about that for a second. They also believe that the 12th Imam will reveal himself when the Shia are near destruction and bring on the End Times and the Islamic Rapture. Put the two together ... it will only too easy for the Ayotollahs to hand off a few suitcase nukes.

it will only too easy for the Ayotollahs to hand off a few suitcase nukes.

What would the Ayatollahs get out of it? Nothing but their own signed death warrants.
