Putin has helped turn Eastern Europe and the Middle East into a flaming and deadly battleground. Count it up: His support of the bloody Syrian tyrant, "Chemical" Bashar Assad. Georgia, Chechnya, Ukraine and others can testify to Putin's lust for former Soviet vassal states.
As the friend of America's enemies, such as the fanatical Iranian mullahs, Putin has established himself as America's enemy. By too often siding with Islam's most violent fanatics, he is the enemy of peace, stability and freedom.
True, the glow of Putin's Olympic victories has been darkened with the ignominious ouster of his toady, Viktor Yanukovych, as Ukrainian president. But don't count Putin out just yet. He is too invested in his fight to keep Ukraine from slipping into the Western democratic sphere.
Ukraine's future looks somewhat brighter no thanks to President Barack Obama. Just as he failed to support nascent democratic reformers in the disputed 2009 Iranian presidential election, Obama pretty much left the freedom-seeking Ukrainians in Kiev's Independence Square on their own.
Undoubtedly, they'll remember Obama's limp-noodle support, just like his paper-thin support of Syrian freedom fighters. Now, Obama, in reaction to Ukrainian events, tediously speaks about "resetting" our relationship with Russia, whatever that gobbledygook means. Good luck, Mr. President. As long as you choose not to project American power, Putin will continue to do what Putin does.
Inch by inch, mile by mile, the Obama administration has stood back as America's influence has diminished throughout the Middle East. What speaks more eloquently of that than Obama's empty "ultimatum" to Assad to not use chemical weapons? When Assad did, Obama meekly tossed the ball to Putin.

Fitting title. Obama supporters resemble brain-dead zombies.
America needs to remove the feeding tube from the brain-dead liberals and put them out of their misery.
He should expand his reading list.
I had a problem with the link.

Obama isn’t fit to push an ice cream cart.
Putin will not lose his Major Naval Base in the Crimea that gives the Russian Navy direct access to the Mediterranean,he will go to war over it,Obama will have to go to bed early that night and leave it up to his advisors and then get up the next day and blame it on a video
We need to stay home and mind our own business. We need to stop sending our precious young people to foreign Hell Holes to be killed and crippled. Let the Satan-worshippers kill each other. Our military needs to stay home and secure our borders! Our military needs to clean out every muslim training site within our borders.
By the time Hagel and Obama are finished there won’t be a military to bring home.
Everyone with an IQ above 80 realizes that Obama was played by Putin.....so who among Obama's sycophants colluded in the Syrian debacle.
<><> Nancy Pelosi---who stupidly sucked-up---talked up Obama's "strength"?
<><> Ex-WH crony David ("I'm Harmless") Axelrod egging on Ohaha via his sap-happy tweet to media.
<><> The Black Caucus suck-up?
<><>Susan "no-brain" Rice's saying anything to pump her resume.
<><> Maybe Valerie? Jaybird Carney? Crazy Joe Biden? John " brain-dead" Kerry?
<><> Perhaps greedy Michele eyeing goodies bought w/ the $50 billion a day budgeted for war profits? Too bad war profiteering went kaput when Putin weighed in.
KRAUTHAMMER: "ANTAGONIZING CANADA IS SOS HILLARY'S SOLE ACHIEVEMENT"
EXCERPT Charles Krauthammer thinks the place to start challenging 2016 Hillary would be with her abysmal record as secretary of state.
“When people talk about Hillary being a superb secretary of State, I just ask one question,” Krauthammer replied. “Name me one thing, just one, not three, give me one thing she achieved in her four years as secretary of state. I have yet to hear an answer.”
“I do think it’s really awful that you can have a four year term, achieve nothing, and as you say, go backwards with Russia, backwards on Iran, backwards on Syria, backwards on Venezuela, backwards in relation with just about all of our allies, including, I would add, Keystone, which sits on the President’s head, and antagonizing Canada, for God’s sake. Canada, of all people, that’s quite an achievement when you can antagonize Canada.
That’s not easy to do. And to get them upset, which is never happened in about 100 years, I mean, this is foreign policy of failure. And the only reason people haven’t focused on it is because there’s been so much failure at home that it’s overshadowed what’s happening abroad.” Read the full story at TownHall.com
A good trainer might be able to wean him off the toxic substances, put him on a strict diet of beans, fatback and collards and get him in shape so that he could handle pushing an ice cream cart. I doubt he could handle more than an hour at a time though.
It was their "remedy" for Terri Schiavo, wasn't it?
Tit for tat. Talis talio.
