Obama: Mr. President, after the election, I will have more flexibility...
Medvedev: Mr. President, I see. I will make sure to transmit this information to Vladimir Vladimorovich and see that he gets it.

(CNN) -- I recall being an undergraduate in Russian Studies at Amherst College when the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in December 1979. I was flabbergasted when then-President Carter initially expressed surprise that Leonid Brezhnev and his cronies decided to undertake that ill-fated adventure. Just the little I knew of Soviet history at that time led me to conclude that one should never be naïve about Russia. Wisely, the Carter administration soon implemented a wide-ranging and powerful set of sanctions against the USSR.
By comparison, Barack Obama is now making Jimmy Carter look like Attila the Hun with a series of empty threats and "too little, too late" punitive measures against Putin's Russia.
On February 28, President Obama warned Russia not to take military action against Crimea, and if he did so, serious "costs" would be imposed. A few weeks later, Crimea was annexed to Russia and virtually no serious "costs" have been incurred from U.S. sanctions.
Now Obama and our European allies have virtually conceded Crimea, but again warn Putin that we really mean it this time, that if you take military action in Ukraine outside Crimea, you will be really sorry!
I think the only thing that has surprised Putin is how weak Obama's response has been. The administration was not prepared for the contingency that Putin would act so brazenly.

Does a fat dog fart? Does a bear sh*t in the woods? Is the Pope Catholic? (wait a minute....that one might not be so good)
I wonder how much the two are in cahoots with each other.
Does Elmer Fudd have trouble with the letter 'R'?
I wonder what city the Chargers will move to.
He’s weak against a wet paper bag....
Bear, Catholic, Pope, woods

Jimmy Carter looks like Atillla the Hun and Neville Chamberlain looks like Hannibal compared to dear leader.
Dear leader would be way over his head in a kiddie pool.
I believe Zer0 sees America’s military as a diversion of money from his Marxist agenda. Thus, a foreign policy is a side show. Zer0 is the ultimate lame-suck. He can do nothing and things are going where he wants. Besides, his Muslim friends are doing his bidding as America and the West are sitting ducks to the evil they represent.
Obama keeps drawing these yellow lines in the snow.
Pretty much my opinion as well.
Is Obama weak against Putin? Yes, and by design. The goal is to punish America, even if that takes the form of making himself look like a gelding.
No humiliation is too great IF, in the end, America is brought low. Remember, his mentors were Marxists. They labor to destroy Christianity and capitalism.
——The goal is to punish America——
I would argue to the contrary.
Obama is a pacifist, an antiwar scion of the 60’s. That was the age of the great victory, the war in Vietnam was damned and ended. There shall be no more war. There shall be peace through diplomacy, through accommodation, through compromise. There can be no war because war is abolished, ended for all time.
That is what they believe and think. The destruction of American strength is just collateral damage to the pacifist notions.
I thank you for not spelling out the vulgarity, unlike what library user did. FR does have its standards, you know, and they are good ones.
And no, "fart" is not considered a vulgarity, at least to me.
> Obama is now making Jimmy Carter look like Attila the Hun
Looks like a great idea for a tagline. LOL!!
Thanks JimRob!
