Obama Flies to A Europe Shaken by Putin's Bold Strategy
NBC News ^ | March 23, 2014 | By Tom Curry

Posted on 03/23/2014 1:33:52 PM PDT by Jim Robinson

resident Barack Obama flies Sunday to a Europe shaken by Vladimir Putin’s seizure of Crimea and his threats against eastern parts of Ukraine.

At a summit conference at The Hague on preventing nuclear terrorism – scheduled long before the Ukraine crisis – Obama will confer with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and other leaders. On Monday afternoon Obama will meet with President Xi Jinping of China, Russia’s neighbor and sometime rival.

Putin has forced the United States and Europe to refocus on the origins of the modern transatlantic alliance -- the 1949 NATO defense partnership designed to prevent a Russian invasion of Western Europe.

“We live in a different world than we did less than a month ago,” NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen told an audience in Washington last week. Russia's aggression is “a wake-up call for the Euro-Atlantic community, for NATO, and for all those committed to a Europe whole, free, and at peace.”

Russian brute force is a jarring diversion from Obama’s second-term agenda of combatting climate change...

Previous American presidents had occasional quarrels with European leaders, “but never were we faced with a kind of indifference that Obama seems to exude,” Joffe said.

Obama said Thursday that “America’s support for our NATO allies is unwavering.

~~snip~~

“We are going to have to think very hard in Europe and in the United States about how we are going to respond to the Ukrainian government’s legitimate requests to have the wherewithal to defend itself,” said Francois Heisbourg...

In a conference call with reporters Thursday, an Obama administration official sounded quite non-committal on arming the Ukrainians.

He does not hate anything remotely connected to Muslims. Just the opposite...he adores anything remotely connected to Islam. I can understand it, his father was a devout Muslim.

Well, it’s a known fact that he was raised by probably the only transvestite mooslum in Indonesia.

They think they are "shaken" now, just wait until O gets on-scene and tries to get in the middle of their business.

Shame the Clown wasn’t on 370.
Truth is, probably wouldn’t make a difference.

Worrying about Russia is so 1980s... haw haw haw... someone needs to enlighten those backwards Europeans that the cold war is, essentially, beneath our own Great Leader.

“Sperm”? That quivering coward has no sperm nor a backbone. When Putin makes his next play, odumbo will be either out behind the barn tossing his cookies or changing his own diaper. I am sooooooooooooooooo sick of that incompetent imposter.

I’ll agree with you both except for one point. The roots are in kenya for the family as best as is determinable from best assessments except for the mother.

Having made his brutal assault on the American people with Obamacare, Obama must divert his attention to the world stage, so he can spread his dystopic gift to everyone.

Unless Europe can find a better friend and ally than Obama, they are screwed. Obama has his bag of sanctions and tough rap, but none of that makes him more than a limp-wristed faggot without substance. The Western left might not see it, but Putin does, as do all real leaders.

Why don't I hear anything from any politician in the US about our need to let the EU defend itself and to station US troops along our southern border? It does indicate that none of those politicians, even those who patronize constitutional conservatives for votes, actually see the issue as we do.

That would be that the US is being invaded, and our military needs to protect US citizens on both sides of our southern border, stop the invasion, and send home invaders.

And hope that if when the time comes portions of the US can vote themselves out of the federal government without violence.

“Huh, someone get his DNA and we can determine where his ancestors lived...”

Do you remember that day time TV program where a couple would be on stage and a DNA test had been done to determine if the man with this woman actually was the father of her child? The results were given to them on stage and a number of times the test showed the man was NOT the father. I don't know who is his father but that communist guy, Frank Marshall Davis was also around his mom at the time and Hussein certainly resembles Davis and not Obama senior.

The only purpose of Obama’s presence at this summit is 18 rounds at the Royal Haagsche and he sucks at that, too. This is another monumental waste of taxpayer dollars.

There are plenty of published dots in Obama’s history to indicate he came from Indonesia sperm. You are correct in pointing out that skin color cannot be relied on as to ethnic birth. As a young boy when among ball team friends I was often taken as the ‘black’ boy, especially in the summer when ‘tanned’ by the sun. Same thing when serving in the Philippines in WWII.

Too chilly for golf in the DC area, I suppose.

No, he was golfing at Andrews AFB again yesterday.
