Russians Mocking Obama

With the Obama Administration well into its fifth year, our country’s respect on the international front continues to dwindle. President Obama’s latest debacle is unfolding in Eurasia, where the Russian Federation has expanded its boundaries into Ukraine, annexing the coastal region of Crimea, much to the chagrin of the Western world. The daring manuever drew a hapless response from the Obama Administration, making the U.S. the laughing stock among Russian politicians.

American Enterprise Institute scholar Michael Rubin tells conservative radio talk show host Andrew Wilkow, “What’s dangerous is that what happens in Crimea doesn’t stay in Crimea. Ultimately, Vladimir Putin might be laughing at us, but Kim Jong-un, the dear leader in North Korea is having similar thoughts, you can be sure that the Supreme Leader in Iran is having similar thoughts and every single ally we have whom we have given security guarantees, are now seeing those guarantees aren’t worth the paper their written on.” More from the BlazeTV.

Obama a Cream Puff

President Obama’s reaction to the Ukraine Crisis was a forgone conclusion. After all, wasn’t it Obama that drew the red line when turmoil erupted in Syria, only to stand back and watch as Assad and his thugs crossed it time after time. Wasn’t it Obama who declared that negotiating with our enemies is not an option, then invited the Iranian mullahs to the table for some serious detente.

And so it’s our president who continues to weigh options on the sidelines while Comrade Putin bulldozes his way through the Crimean Peninsula, while setting his sights on Eastern Ukraine. Says political pundit Dick Morris, “I think that Putin has sized up Obama as a cream puff. And as somebody who’s as impotent and as unable to act as Europe is.”

Putin to the Rescue

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s 11th-hour compromise in the Syrian Crisis has possibly handed President Obama an exit from his self-created impasse. “Vladimir Putin absolutely pulled a coup in his proposal that Assad turn over his chemical weapons stock to U.N. supervision, and in return the U.S. not attack Syria,” says political pundit Dick Morris. “In one move, what he’s done is essentially say the issue is no longer what did Assad do two months ago, but what will he do in the future.”
