Ukraine is NOT a member of NATO. And Obama did NOT do nothing when Putin went into the Crimea.
Economic sanctions....like any reasonable person would do.
So what do you suggest he do? You've admitted that it isn't worth war. Should obama take his shirt off and flex? It's funny how right wingers tend to put Putin on some pedestal. Not long ago, we saw the wingnuts' prediction that Putin was going to show ISIS real power after they bombed the Russian passenger jet. He hasn't done Jack. Putin is exactly what today's wingnuts love-all bluster. He talks and acts tough. But the reality is, he lives in the real world just like everyone else. And there are consequences to actions. They may not come immediately. But ultimately, they come. They've already come in Syria with his decision to bomb. Since then, he's lost a passenger jet, a fighter jet, a helicopter, and some troops. But he talks tough. And acts tough. Unlike our "feckless" president who wingnuts claim nobody respects.
We were never going to do much about Russia's quest to regain Crimea anyway. The people there are Russian and more importantly, Sevastopol is there.
You do know that the Iran deal that you keep harping about was signed by not only Iran and the US but also China, Russia, France, Germany and the UK, don't you? It seems that on the one hand, wingnuts admire Putin's toughness and seem to hold him up as the standard of leadership. Yet on the other hand, Putin gets no criticism for the Iran deal. They reserve all the criticism for Obama. Funny how that works.
You are correct but a very weak President invites aggression. Obama is not respected for his leadership abilities.
Well, your buddy W gave Iraq to Iran when he invaded and installed maliki, an iranian operative as Prez. nice move there. Iraq was the counterbalance to Iran and had been for decades. No more. Iran has an opportunity to straighten up and have incentives to do so. Even the commie Chinese and the despot Putin are willing to let this deal follow though. We don't have to rush into another war which will only benefit the neocons and their buds making weapons.
Only the Fox News crowd doesn't respect the President. And they've made an industry of it.
If you believe that you are very wrong. I respect the Presidency, not the way he has performed in his duties. He is a divider.
I'm not wrong. And anyone not glued to Fox news know it. He's actually more respected in the rest of the western world than he is at home. Wonder why? Here is a little info on the subject....
You stated very clearly that Obama's leadeship was not respected. I've provided proof that you are wrong. Now you want to qualify your assertion. I give up.
