I have to agree. They are mocking Obama. They think it’s comical and this move proves it.
Well, we now know that in the Vietnam era the KGB ratcheted up a disinformation campaign. They started the rumors of our soldiers committing henious acts against the Vietnam population. Then a certain witness went in front of congress and testified:
“They told stories that at times they had personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Ghengis Khan, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the countryside of South Vietnam”
The KGB couldn’t believe how effective their efforts had become.
Now, who was that witness? John Kerry
Who was part of the KGB effort? Vladimer Putin
Consider also that Putin has stated that the collapse of the USSR was one of histories greatest tragedies.
Once one considers this information, it is pretty clear where this is headed and it is pretty clear how Putin expects the USA to respond.
