Why Vladimir Putin Is Kicking Barack Obama’s Behind
FrontPage Mag ^ | 07/23/2014 | Ben Shapiro

On Monday, four days after Vladimir Putin’s minions in Ukraine shot down a passenger airliner carrying 298 people, including an American citizen, President Barack Obama emerged from the White House to issue a statement. Scowling at the camera, Obama stated: “Russia has extraordinary influence over these separatists. No one denies that. Russia has urged them on. Russia has trained them.”

Finally, after fulminating for several minutes about the nastiness of the Russian government, Obama approached the predictable climax: threats of action.

Except that there were none.

Instead, Obama explained that if Russia were to ignore his warnings, it would “only further isolate itself from the international community, and the costs for Russia’s behavior will only continue to increase.”

To which Putin’s only rational response would be laughter.

This is a Western humiliation on an epic scale. Obama and Europe could wrongly and weakly pass off the invasion and annexation of Crimea as a historical anomaly brutally corrected. They could ignore the further invasion of eastern Ukraine, focusing instead on those naughty Israelis busily defending themselves against rocket attacks from Hamas terrorists.

Putin = pitcher; Obama = catcher. Putin = top; Obama = bottom.

Its hard to imagine the weak and feckless Obama ever standing up to any provocation, no matter how serious the threat. He probably crawls into the fetal position when he’s on the phone with Putin.

When Putin gets away with this he will try again elsewhere.

Yep. Weakness invites more aggression. Always has, always will.

Exactly! We should be in fear for our lives and that’s not an exaggeration. We’re now at the mercy of some ruthless people from all around the world and we have this evil bastard to rely on to protect us. It’s not a good situation.

Ronald Reagan: “Peace through strength”. It works.

Meanwhile, most of the country is sleepwalking. Oblivious and apathetic to the emerging threats. I have a very uneasy feeling about it all.

It is because Barack Obama is a p-—y.

I don’t think Putin is as tough as he is made out to be by some people - but compared to Obama?

I’m surprised FR’s `General Rippers’ have’t been venting their “Putin-is-a-Werewolf!” spleen here: “Fluoridation is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous communist plot we have ever had to face.”

Hsve you ever seen a pretty young American girl’s smile spoiled by fluoridation marks on her teeth? Well, have you?
It isn’t a pretty sight, no sir.
Dang you Vlad! Ding dang diddly darn you to H-E-double hockey sticks ...

We can’t know exactly when it will happen but the US is being set up for the biggest and hardest military and economic “hit” in history.

It’s more common than people realize.

In the John Birch Society Journal dated July 17, 1956, there is a long piece describing the death related to fluoride in the water.

The photos are not very good but there is one fluoride water girl smiling and showing blackened teeth.

The John Birch Society has been right about everything since the beginning. Those “kooks” knew/know what they were talking about.

Years ago I attended Birch meetings and one of the old timers always brought his UN flag. We used it to wipe our feet on before we entered the meeting place and said the Pledge of Allegiance..

Putins goals are easy to understand—a new Russian Empire with himself as Czar. Obama’s Goals are not—mirky at best. he’s more like gettin’ by one day at a time. I am starting to believe Putin has something on him.

I think you’re right. Hopefully Putin will hurt Obama and leave the American populace alone. I don’t think Putin wants to kill a lot of Americans. But the Chinese wouldn’t bat an eye over killing millions of Americans.
