Because Putin smells “weakness” and can do so for the nest two years.
The “O” Presidency is not the bottom of the barrel for the US.
Rather, we lifted the barrel and dug around underneath! “O” is what we got!
Both benefit from the shootdown.
As the article states, it gives Putin a chance to the world he has no soul and is capable of doing anything to show how powerful he is.
For Soetoro, the shootdown is a distraction that gives him a chance to hustle in thousands of more illegals, waive SoetoroCare for the five U.S. territories, get away with even more lies about what is going on at The IRS, NSA, VA, etc.
Having a weak opponent in a contest or adversarial relationship is always great thing. Pound them while you can. Putin undoubtable sees fear, weakness, reluctance and indecisiveness in Obama. He also sees a green light to do whatever he wants for at least two more years.
Very dangerous situation for the USA.
I doubt that Biden had the stones to say “you have no soul” to Putin’s face. Or, if he did, there’s a back story about GWB chatter preceding the remark.
Because "NATO" is a fiction, and it will not take much to have it formally dissolved.
The members of NATO, for diverse reasons, will prefer to maintain the fiction, which is certain to crumble with the first rifle shot - so they dare not put their fingers near a trigger.
Not surprised they are taking this horrific tragedy (can’t imagine what the victims experienced) and making it about Obama.
Because Obama and his leftist cronies are a bunch of prisses who talk tough behind mommy’s skirts.
Bambi versus Godzilla. Still doesn’t make Godzilla a good guy.
