Barack Obama has sold this country down the river. He reflects the views of his idiotic liberal supporters that if we, as a country, are just “nice” enough, we will be loved and respected by all the other countries. That is not how geopolitics works, and as the only legitimate super power, we have a large bulls-eye painted on our back. There are political points for taking on the “big dog in the neighborhood,” and so countries as unlikely as Venezuela will challenge the U.S. in order to gain international stature.
Ronald Reagan knew that it was better to be respected than loved in this situation, and there was very little of “tickling the dragons tail” while he was in office because other countries were not quite sure how strong a response they would elicit if they stepped over the line. Fear can be a tremendous motivator.
In addition to Barack Obama showing that he, and by reflection the U.S., is a paper tiger, Russia is showing new signs of aggressiveness and strength as Putin works to restore the image and stature of Russia and to remake the old Soviet Union. In the 2012 presidential election, Obama laughed and mocked Romney when he suggested that Russia was our most dangerous and immediate foe, but it turns out that Mitt was right. Russia is once again taking on the United States and playing chicken to see just how far she can go. In the latest interaction, the game was quite dangerous and could easily have led to a number of deaths.
Read about recent aggressive Russian maneuvers, page 2:
All the sailors will now attend Russian language and sensitivity classes or face prosecution. Maybe handing over their weapons will make it all better. Oh, don’t forget gender neutral bathrooms.This would be a parody if it didn’t reflect the current mindset
They could take a baseball and knock it down.
Alan Whitsell How is my statement in anyway liberal? Getting out of the liberals dream organization the UN and allying with Russia to destroy islamic terrorism hardly sounds liberal. Go back to sleep Al.
Our country is run by a ball less leader and if the tables were turned we would of bombed the Russian vessel for being so close to our homeland. The USA got off easy with a warning. USA needs to stop being the bullies of the world. Russia is not bowing to the US plan of world$#%&!@*
I’m not sure how you mean this . . . It sounds like your against those who say it should have been shot down and those who “think” they know better than Obama . . . .well if that’s the way you meant it, I spent 1 year in Iraq for the United states marine corps . .. I guess this would mean I have already been in line???? I say WE SHOULD HAVE SHOT IT DOWN, what’s your reply to this?
Certainly you could have no grounds to call me a coward?? And with that being said . . Have you served our military? If not how can you call ANYONE else a coward? Medical reasons for not joining still do not grant grounds for calling others cowards by the way
. . . and the potus turns a blind eye! Nothing out of the ordinary for him!
CHARGE OBAMA WITH TREASON!
United States government starting with Obama and then being with Hillary Clinton are a bunch of p***y
In the meantime Obama’s in the Oval Office masturbating
