So when Obama tells the world that "Russia is acting out of weakness," he risks sounding like the guy who gets beat up in a bar then brags about the bully's bloody knuckles................Agree

***It could be that Obama is playing mind games with Putin***

Not smart enough to do so. One has to know how to get into someone else’s head and then live there rent free.

whose first meeting of every day involves an intelligence briefing on the motivations of global actors.

?? I doubt he ever had that meeting.

I'm a sincere pain in the ass to most people I know because of my insistence in knowing the motivation of something.

I never grew out of asking, "Why?"

If I know your 'why', I know more than you probably want me to know, which is why you hide your 'why'

Putin knows which of zero’s buttons to push and when to push them.

The effete west keeps calling Putin’s actions ‘bullying’, which suggests pointless rudeness or petty sadism.

Putin as a national leader is engaged in realpolitik for real objectives, to the real benefit of the nation he leads.

That is what real leaders do, since the days of Sparta and before. The failure to comprehend this simply underscores how enervated and vapid the secular west has become.

Bob Gates in his memoir says that..... “the US ignored its commitments to Russia after the collapse of the a Soviet Union.”

Additionally....During reunification of Germany EU and US made another assurance to Russian that NATO will not expand eastward .....(Otherwise Russia will not approve reunification of Germany at UN , consequently Germany was able to reunify)....... and Gorbachev disbanded the Warsaw Pact Alliance.

..... With time NATO alliance became the intervention organization and today is at Russian borders.

Russia has its interests and these are threatened by the presence of NATO against its borders,..... just as the US would never tolerate being confronted by potentially hostile military alliance along the border with Mexico or from the Cuba; .........(for example the Cuban Missile Crisis of 62’ was successfully diverted by President Kennedy and Khrushchev (Russian missiles in Cuba and US in Turkey.)

The Obamadork would have a hard time outmaneuvering an amoeba.

The only reason that idiot gets away with anything is that the MSM is too ashamed to admit that they put him there...due to their own lack of morals and IQ.

Absolutely anything to protect the degenerate Obama from the consequences of his Ungodly Progressive Socialist Cultism.

If you must be accurate, in an article that mentions only Putin and Obama, the bully is not Putin.

A bully is one who attacks only those weaker than himself, and Obama has force at his disposal at least equal to or greater than the force Putin has at his disposal. Yet Putin still aggressively confronts Obama while Obama cowers and selects Americans to punish who have little if any means to fight back.

Who is the bully? and Who has courage?

He can either go to Colorado or come to Washington State, reunite with his ‘choom’ gang and get high and everything will be right, again.

It doesn’t take much to bully a candy-ass. Just ask Jimmah Carter.

Zero is known to live in a make believe world of his own. Nothing happens that that somehwo will not impact the motivations of others. Weakness invites bullies.

On the world stage, Vladimir Putin is a bully

Someone should get a quote from Ron "Obama Administration Buttboy" Fournier about exactly how many people Putin has murdered via drone.

If Putin pulled the same crap that President Ambiguously Gay MomJeans has pulled with ONE remote killing, Obama's Media would be hyperventilating 24/7/365.

Shut up, Fournier.

Even though Ron Fournier appears to be nudging, then haranguing the wimpy MomJeans to "get tough", what's REALLY amusing is that if the Demoncrats try to play the "Tough Nationalist Support-The-Government-Against-the-Mean-Russian-Commies" card, the rest of us who didn't vote for the little sissy get to flip off any appeals to patriotism.

You people can stuff it. You told Bush to stuff it, now the shoe's on the other foot.

Peace, man.
