Neither President Obama nor any other world leader can sway the mind of Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).
“Putin is going to do what Putin is going to do,” she said on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday.
Obama’s foreign policy strategy has been attacked in recent weeks, with some accusing him of doing too little to stymie Russian intervention in Ukraine, where ongoing violence this month included the deaths of hundreds aboard a passenger jetliner. The U.S. has said Russia is at least indirectly responsible for that attack.
“As far as Putin is concerned, he’s a KGB guy who happens to be the president of Russia and he’s going to do what he’s going to do, no matter who else is in charge any place else in the word,” Pelosi said. “I would not judge his actions or his motivations by anything other than he is rooted in a KGB [mindset], insecure about Russia’s diminished role in the world.” The U.S. has launched a set of sanctions against Russia and tried to rally countries around the world to follow suit, but Moscow has not backed off its support of pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine's east.
Speaking on the same CNN show, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said those sanctions “clearly are not working” and accused Obama of being “AWOL.”
Ongoing violence in Gaza and the rise of the al Qaeda-linked Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, which has gained ground amid a power vacuum in those countries, only makes clear the costs of a weakened U.S., he added.
“Passive responses to naked aggression all over the world is our foreign policy,” Graham said. “Without American leadership, the world has become a very dangerous place and our allies like Israel and Ukraine suffer.”

The Russians are building at a fast rate now. There gear is getting better and they are not focused on build big numbers any more.
Naw, it is just Nan being Nan. Like the meat puppet she is, her thought processes are virtually non-existent, but given enough time and enough monkeys with word processors, the possibility that the complete works of Shakespeare could be written in that manner could happen. It is just highly unlikely that it would.
Nan did not INTEND to make any sense. That was just a statistical probability that given enough time, sooner or later, she would spout something that ALMOST sounded sensible.
Almost.
There would have to be a faint degree of probability that the Current Occupant possesses the capability of actually controlling ANYBODY. Himself included.
Now, the reverse, that “Putin can’t control (Obama)”, is almost certainly untrue.

NATO is not just bigger and stronger than it was then, it’s the biggest, strongest military force that has ever existed in human history. That’s why it terrifies the evil coward Putin.
First lucid statement from this mega loon in 27 years!!!
Ronald Reagan.
LOL!
Oh, hold on there, you were talking about golf? Ooops. Bad me...
But he and his lackeys are working day and night to control every part of our lives.
I believe that, he can’t even control himself.
LOL
LOL, they are trying to make something of their weak nation’s military, they are not even a shell of what they were when they had 6 million men under arms, and at least SIX Airborne Divisions, do you remember the USSR and Warsaw pact at all, when Poland and East Germany used to be a part of the Russian forces instead of NATO’s, and France wasn’t even in NATO?
Your foolish mirth is the mark of an ignoramus.
What President??!!
Dutch, Gipper,The Big Boss Man that is who; Ronald Wilson Reagan
May God preserve him in our hearts
And his Sissy-Boy Bottom Bitch, Queen Putt will say "Yes, daddy...."
The Soviet Union was militarily stronger, but then so were we. Economically the USSR was a communist basket case that ultimately couldn’t compete with us. Putin’s crony capitalist Russia is economically much stronger than the USSR, while we are now up to our eyeballs in debt, much of it to China. And back then China was strategically aligned with us against the USSR. Now they are Putin’s allies.
Russia isn’t even as strong as the U.S., and there are 27 other NATO nations besides us, and 5 of those are in the top 8 of the world’s strongest militarys.
I don’t know where this thinking is coming from that now that we defeated the massive Soviet military empire, and absorbed their largest and strongest, and most advanced components into our own military and geographical alliance, that now the West must surrender to the smaller and weaker Russia.
