He thought he was going to march into the Ukraine and everyone would think him a great man. He destroyed himself.
A lot of folks respected him in the West. In one fell swoop, he destroyed that myth.
He has held onto power for sixteen years now. He has the potential to turn into one of the old school idiots.
Here was a guy that had the west cheering him on. Now he’s on the brink of WWIII.
That’s bright? Not buying it.
What’s more, if he’s so brilliant why would he mess around with a man as foolish as Obama? Putin can’t possibly think Obama will react rationally if Putin does something.
That’s why I said Putin is a fool.
You push around someone you know. You don’t push around a egomaniac narcissist who has been served by nothing but yes-men for the last 30 years.
Obama has been on the fast track just like Clinton was. He was prepped for this since he was a child. I don’t believe this just happened.
He had deep money pockets supporting through school. I think his mother had him connected to very subversive Leftist from day one.
Clinton was picked up by the Fulbright foundation (believe it was Fulbright). Nobody ever told either of these men no.
They don’t know the meaning of them not being able to do anything they want. Right now, that’s the last guy we need at the helm.
I think Putin views Obama as a guy that will back down. No, Obama is stupid enough to take it to Russia, and this will escalate out of control.
If Putin were smart, he’d know that. He doesn’t.
He’s sabre rattling again calling all his citizens home. That is meant to sent a message. It will fall on deaf ears in our White House. Obama is as clueless as anyone I’ve ever seen when it comes to foreign affairs.
What’s worse, he has Hillary and McCain advising him.
Two bigger fools there have never been. The three of them got us into this in Syria, and Putin isn’t kidding around.
That’s his mistake right there. He thinks Obama will come to this senses. He hasn’t got any.
all fair points you make but here we have Putin playing chess with live rounds and Obama playing old maid with race cards. If i didnt care about the human race Id bet my chips on Putins horse.
Obama was part of the nuclear freeze movement which was funded by the USSR back when Putin was working in the KGB. So far Obama’s done everything Putin wanted him to do and more.
