No, it’s relevant. It’s another demonstration of how Obama helps Iran rather than hinders.
That's irrelevant too.
Whatever. If you really think 0bama cares about anyone you will never get him.
There’s a method to his madness; to dismiss him as unwieldy is to underestimate him. Every foreign overture thus far has been excessively friendly to Iran and those sympathetic to that regime.
That hasn't been my point at all.
He’s not hawkish either. At least as far as the USA’s interests are concerned. He also does not look at himself as the leader of the Caliphate, so he’s not going to try to compete with Iran in that respect, but aid them as he’s done consistently.
That's irrelevant to what I've been saying.
I interpreted whatever you said as your thinking that Obama would actually attack Iran, and that’s certainly not something that will ever happen. If I misinterpreted, I apologize.
What I said, and it’s only my opinion, is that he’s a pathological narcissist. If I’m right then he is capable of doing anything to anyone and his reasons will always be his own. Any appearance of loyalty to persons or ideologies is only that, an appearance. He is neither a hawk nor a pacifist. Those things are utterly meaningless to him. In his mind he is everything, the alpha and the omega. A pathological narcissist is the ultimate sociopath.
That’s broadly agreed. Of course, the damage a narcissist can do is directly proportional to the number of powerful people (and military commanders) that would comply with him during a meltdown.
I can think of a few. In 0bama's typical passive-aggressive fashion he would not have to take direct action to accomplish it.
Yes, it’s very hard to find people willing to attack Iran, especially in DC these days. Many of those I used to think of as being willing turned out to be quite the opposite.
As for Obama, he’s been dead against the US “war hawks” that might have been willing to neutralize Iran. It’ll certainly take a big blow to his ego to get him to change that tack; I don’t know if attacks by Hezbollah, or missile strikes on the US, would move him to act.
Yep, there are some. Then there is Israel. And then there is Saudi Arabia. To name only a few.
You view 0bama to be a narcissist like Bill Clinton. I view him to be a pathological narcissist. The difference between the two is of an order of magnitude greater than the difference between a Trappist monk and Bill Clinton.
Well, presuming that view is correct, a meltdown is coming and it’s not of the type that the liberal media or his liberal handlers can cover up.
The majority of Israel (themselves liberal) still holds to the delusion of the “two-state solution” and still fears “world opinion” as broadcast from the UN. A hawkish Israeli leader would have a hard time holding on to command.
Not to mention that Saudi Arabia has its own agenda, although they are more opportunist than Iran.
