Putin Keeps Taking Obama's Lunch Money

In dueling speeches at Monday’s UN General Assembly meeting, Barack Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin sounded off in the latest round of tense relations between the U.S. and Russia. Unfortunately, because of Obama’s thoughtless foreign policy America is looking weak and clueless on the world stage.

Obama continued to rail against Moscow for its actions in Ukraine. “We cannot stand by when the sovereignty and territorial integrity of a nation is flagrantly violated,” he declared. “If that happens without consequence in Ukraine, it could happen to any nation gathered here today.” Of course, “stand by” is precisely what Obama has done with regard to Ukraine and Crimea.

“Stand by” has also been Obama’s “plan” with regard to Syria. And Putin has used the opportunity to bolster Russia’s presence in the Middle East. In a one-two punch this month, the Kremlin provided military support to bolster longtime Syrian ally Bashar al-Assad, and then — just in time for the UN confab — announced an intelligence sharing agreement with Syria, Iraq and Iran to combat the Islamic State.

SGT Private RallyPoint Member , I concur. He looks weak and never seems to get any better. Always takes me back to the talks between them proir to the election when the mic was on and he begged Putin to wait until after the election.

SGT Private RallyPoint Member - Sergeant; I cannot believe that a President of the United States of America could actually say "We cannot stand by when the sovereignty and territorial integrity of a nation is flagrantly violated,” without the entire audience bursting out into gales of raucous laughter.

As far as "sharing intelligence" and "combating ISIS" is concerned, the Russians are doing OFFICIALLY what the US government is attempting to do unofficially.

As far as "supporting Assad" is concerned, the Russians have the advantage of being able to employ 'realpolitik' openly. From the Russian point of view, there IS a party involved in the Syrian Mess that it can support openly while from the American point of view, there isn't.

Because a lion like Obama does not concern himself with the opinion of a saber-rattling, tin-pot sheep.
