Libtards always claim they conduct foreign policy matters “better and smarter”. Instead we get Kerry and Obama, the equivalent of half and full retard.

Obama has been an absolute foreign policy disaster. Period.

It’s one screw-up after another and perhaps the most damaging thing is that his foreign policy has not represented the historical American spirit. We have supported our enemies and screwed our friends. That will harm us far into the future - Iran/Carter and Bin Laden/Clinton anyone?

...this guy is gonna blunder his way into a Major Event through his erratic toothless red lines and hollow pronouncements.

A Major Event we are hardly in a good position to properly service at the moment.

Gonna be Real Interesting to see how this plays out.

I think Ukraine was payback to the Russians for Syria. As bad as Obama might look on this, invading the Ukraine was probably the last thing Putin wanted to do a month ago.

Does anyone here truly believe that Mr. Obama will authorize a nuclear counter-strike if we’re attacked?

I’m in favor of getting the CIA and our money out of Syria in return for Russia not meddling in Ukraine.

True, but so far he hasn't done it. He is on the other hand holding a Damoceles sword above Ukraine. As a chess player he should know that a threat is much more powerful than actually making the aggressive move.

If he plays this in the best way (and the other side does not make a historical mistake) he will continue the political, military, economical pressure on Ukraine, while the IMF and the EU will dismantle what is left of the poor country's economy. Eventually there will be some new political upheaval and Ukraine will fall like a ripe fruit in the lap of the Russians. Sad - but the likely outcome.

What can upset this scheme is either a total miscalculation by NATO/EU/USA (welcome WWIII) or actions by extremists (russophobe and/or russophile ones) inside Ukraine.

Exciting times - much too excitng for my taste!

This is what you get when you let a group of faculty lounge Marxists take over national policy.

Many a leader has blundered his way though foreign policy mistakes.
However, Obama has managed to alienate his own military as well as our allies.
Many a soldier will think twice about risking his own neck to cleanup the disasters that this sorry sob of a leader has gotten into.

Yes, as so many have said before me; elections have consequences.

Isn’t the recall of an ambassador usually a prelude to a declaration of war?
