In a New York Times op-ed, Russian President Vladimir Putin takes issue with President Obama's reference to American exceptionalism during his speech on Syria on Tuesday, calling the notion "extremely dangerous
"It is alarming that military intervention in internal conflicts in foreign countries has become commonplace for the United States," Putin wrote. "Is it in America’s long-term interest? I doubt it. Millions around the world increasingly see America not as a model of democracy but as relying solely on brute force, cobbling coalitions together under the slogan 'you’re either with us or against us.' "We must stop using the language of force and return to the path of civilized diplomatic and political settlement."
And he has always been best friends with our enemies, and always aided and abetted our enemies. Mind blowing seeing those rooting for and defending him.
“Does the title “exceptional” render one safe from betrayal?”
It should.
New York’s Governor Andrew Cuomo said that “America was never that great.”
Agreed. It is mind blowing.
Obama took care of the Exceptionalism.
Since Putin said that in response to Obamanation, BFD.
“Why would you say that? Sadly I would have to agree with him. The mere fact nothing was done after the election was stolen shows me that the exceptionalism died a long time ago. Our forefathers wouldn’t have stood by complaining on the internet about how mad they were while their countray was being torn apart. They would have actually FOUGHT for their country.”
So what is your excuse?
That too
Too many foreigners in government, angry-forever, blacks, trillions poured into their communities with only worse results, with an overrun southern border. When did the left give a damn about America being exceptional when it’s always going on about America’s past wrongs? If Putin said it, and it hurt feelings it’s because it’s true. His speech three weeks ago to the Russian people talked about what’s going on here.
There’s no such thing as magic soil. Change the people and change the nation.
As Russia/USSR spent so much of its time trying to plan and work to take America down since 1917,
I’d say its pretty hypocritical for them to criticize us because of their partial success.
America “Not Exceptional”?
An idea Putin got from hearing Barack Obama say it.
That’s exactly true. Putin is an enemy of this country… it’s in his KGB-laced blood.
“Millions around the world increasingly see America not as a model of democracy but as relying solely on brute force”
With Russia’s rape-and-pillage attack on Ukraine, that comment is laughable. Pootie projects just as the dems do. They must be sharing the same playbook.
