Putin...saw a pattern of words without consequences, of actions that are ephemeral and not sustained, and so he concluded that a weaker power like Russia most certainly can bully a neighbor with access to stronger powers like the United States.
This is what I said from the beginning....when there is a power vacuum, something will fill that space. It won't just remain empty.
Team Obama announced troop reductions to below WWII levels, Putin's already-green light grew even greener.
I further think this weakness in American policy is even PART of the promised "flexibility" that was whispered to Medvedev.
But it isn't just Russian relations....BO is on a mission to weaken our nation's status in the world from EVERY angle. Why else would he engineer and increase in our debt burden two or three fold? Why else would he engineer a demoralization and perversion in our military? Why else would he foist upon the American people a socialized, unpopular and unworkable healthcare law?
He wants all this to happen because he hates America.
Three things are the enemy of the left:
(true, classical) Christianity,
(original intent interpretation of) the Constitution, and
(free market) Capitalism.
