Cam anyone imagine Zero responding to a serious case of military aggression against the U.S. by initiating retalitatory actions or a strong military response? Seriously, I just can’t imagine any such a scenario. He is reluctant, indecisive and even contemptuous of U.S. might. The only thing he would do would be to launch his usual blame game with a barrage of empty words and threats.
You’re right, bammy wouldn’t respond even if the bombers had violated US airspace. Sure, bammy would make some noise, maybe send a strongly worded letter to Putin - probably along with a nice greeting card. Maybe what would really upset bammy would be if one of these incidents interrupted his golf game. Maybe then he’d start acting like a leader. Nah. Besides, I think I’d rather he just finish out his term on the links and leave the US the {expletive} alone. Less likely to do any more damage that way. I’ll take the damage done by an absentee CIC over bammy’s active anti-US stance any day.
I can see Obama utilizing two predictable responses to almost any military challenge — drone or bomber strike against a worthless target and an appeal to the UN to do something. Obama - “the United States requests the UN (mommy) to make them stop. In fact we implore you to initiate sanctions...”
