More like “Obama writes off strategizing”.

[PGR88]

This is what is meant by “learning on the job.”

Obama has to rediscover a 65 year-old cold-war policy when reality suddenly doesn’t match his fantasy world.

[AU72]

More like it’s the other way around.

What was the quote? “The 1980’s called, they want their foreign policy back?” LOL

The grim reality is that the power and the influence of the West is declining. The West became powerful, wealthy and dominant when as a result of the Enlightenment it embraced individual freedom and productive capitalism. Today the EU and the US is embracing the socialism and government controls that the rest of the world, having learned the tragic consequences, is abandoning. There is also decadence and a declining native birthrate. Power abhors a vacuum. Power is shifting toward Asia and Russia.

“Ignore him and maybe he’ll go away” is a heckuva foreign policy, Barry.

Mr. Obama will spend his final two and a half years in office trying to minimize the disruption Mr. Putin can cause...

How childish. Alaska will be a part of Russia in that time.

[Cronos]

This is assuming o can strategize anything besides an election campaign. In the past 6 years he’s shown no evidence.

Delusional. To pick and choose issues to address or ignore thinking one is not connected to the other is pure fantasy. Of course, we know the sky in Obama’s world is a different color.

Mr. Obama has concluded that even if there is a resolution to the current standoff over Crimea and eastern Ukraine spending, he will never have a constructive relationship with Mr. Putin Republicans, aides said. As a result, Mr. Obama will spend his final two and a half years in office trying to minimize the disruption Mr. Putin Republicans can cause...

Hey Barry, the 50s called. They want their foreign policy back.
