Putin is calling the shots and he has left Obama reeling.
I’m actually wanting him to rub O’s ugly snout in the dust today!
Checkmate, Barry.
when putin meets with obama later today, he’s going to make him put on a pink tutu and call him “jennifer”.
I think Putin wants to drag America further into this mess...so our military will be further weakened.
Loopy left out of the loop.
There, fixed it for ya.
He wants to show the world what a real ally does, and how he doesn’t abandon them.
Egypt, Libya, and Israel have all been back stabbed by this President.
Putin responds to the JV team.
And no, I’m not talking about ISIS.
Yes. Unfortunately, there is that also.
“Egypt, Libya, and Israel have all been back stabbed by this President.”
Shame on you. You left out America and its people.
Unexpected...
Ha. Kerry and Obummer outwitted and outmaneuvered by the Russkis. Gives one a whole lot of confidence in that Iran deal, now doesn’t it.
The Obummer regime sure seems to get surprised by a lot of things. That is what happens when you have the pot-smoking junior communist revolutionary progressives elected.
The world is in real trouble because these assholes want to play liberal academic high horse games.
Whoever the next president is will have a whole lot of crap to unwind, more so than what Reagan had. America will have to vote smart or perish.
