No. He’s wrong on EVERYTHING...
Do we really need to break out the Magic 8 Ball on this one?
IMO, got to give the devil his due on this one, I also am not in favor of entering any war in the Balkans or Eastern Europe, period. There is no upside for us in any such engagements. NATO countries, unfortunately, we are treaty bound to be involved with but equally unfortuantely with most of these countries when we say NATO we basically mean the US as few of these countries have any military significance.
Circa 1990 of course we had armed supremacy, now we do not. These “trip wire” type wars between nuke powers can rapidly spin out of control and move onto the tactical and strategic engagements IMO and that is a no win for us or for the planet. Reminds me of the line from “the Enforcer” wherein Eastwood is told by the black guy at the black VFW we are just waiting for all you white folk to blow each other up so we can move right in.
There is nothing we can really do to help the Ukraine.
Obama pretty much gutted the military and we are mired in 2 wars now as it is.
Maybe send a squadrion of A10s but they are heading to the trash heap.
>overthrow Bashir al Assad
Why? He was able to keep the islamonuts somewhat under control. So what if he didn’t use kid gloves on the muzzy protesters and those seeking to implement sharia law.
Does a SHEITE Bear in the woods?
Is OhVomit right about ANYTHING?
>There is nothing we can really do to help the Ukraine.
Gotta agree. Pretty much anything sent over there is just pissing into the wind. The Euros are going to have to learn how to play power politics again.
Doesn’t matter, when it comes to the Current Occupant, the Magic 8 Ball is ALWAYS rigged to come out either “Reply hazy try again” or “Very doubtful”.
That is no joke. On every topic/issue I know anything about I can tell you that his position is wrong. Not just sort-of wrong but fundamentally flawed.
On matters of opinion he and I seem to be diametrically opposed.
This leads me to the reasonable conclusion that even on issues I may not be well informed on, or not well informed on yet (not having bothered to research) I can fairly well estimate that whatever position he is advocating it is almost certainly factually wrong and/or I would disagree with it in some way as a matter of opinion/conscious.
Obama is no more wrong on Ukraine than a blind man who paints himself into a corner.
With all the good options killed long ago by ineptitude and lack of foresight, Obama is left with the option of begging even as Putin sticks a “Kick Me” on Obama’s back.
It isn’t so much that Obama is wrong on Ukraine. I think the real problem is he is coming across as so weak and vacillating. From his weak actions and mealy mouthed speeches it is easy to visualize the world school yard with Putin the bully and Obama the p***y. You have to stand up to a bully but Obama continues to roll over and play the p***y.
Obama, and the US, is weak because Obama is perceived as being weak.
The proper question is “Is Obama Wrong?”
And the answer in all cases, is “Yes.”
Obama AND the Socialist DemoRats are wrong and lying on EVERYTHING.
Putin is not a bully. Stop repeating neocon propaganda. Putin is reacting in the way a logical person would expect him to act when the US causes trouble on his borders. We started it and he’s going to finish it with a solution to his own liking because Putin doesn’t take any shit. We should cut our losses and make some kind of diplomatic solution to save face fir everyone before US troops start dying.
American military fights for Al Qaeda in Syria and for IMF in Ukraine. Greystone is fighting for NATO IMF in Ukraine.
State Dept gave 400 stinger missiles to Al Qaeda in Lybia for Syria and more.
The real question is what will Russia fight for?
Albanian Christina Churches Destroyed; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjiBtAGnm6M
Serbian Orthodox Church destroyed by Moslems: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XOY4LelhH4
Moscow - Europe's Moslem Capital/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aihmte1DWvA
Most Russians don't want moslems in their country and are faced with the same chaotic immigration policies as in the USA. Crimea was 16% Tatar moslem until the Russians took over.
Its just a matter of time till the cork pops and the nukes drop.
These “trip wire” type wars between nuke powers can rapidly spin out of control and move onto the tactical and strategic engagements IMO and that is a no win for us or for the planet.

It all makes the centenary of August 1914 seem so quaint, doesn’t it?
