^ Another "sternly worded message". LOL. Paper tiger comes to mind. We aren't going to do a damn thing. Vlad has seen to that.
You're dreaming if you don't think this president will bomb Syria for non-compliance. This is a president who has missiles flying all over the world, in case you're forgetting.
Vlad has said no, and no means no when a real man says it.:eek: Play time is over. This isn't some cave dwelling savage we're dealing with. Obama and team aren't ready for this level of play.
McCain is right to be upset that Putin has "insulted the intelligence of every American." That's McCain's job.
Time will tell, but I think Syria is going to lose its ability to use chem weapons, and it wasn't the russkies who got the ball rolling.
Obama is president, Kerry is Secretary of State and Bob Menedez is Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and people wonder why the Russians don't respect us?
Play time is right. Obama scares the living shit out of Assad, and Putin plays peacemaker. I would have liked to seen the reactions from an Obama editorial in the Moscow Times, airing his opinions about Putin and Russia. lol Then again, Obama's not that much of a dumb ass. Even if he was, he wouldn't stoop that low. Putin played himself the fool all over again on the world stage. In doing so, he took the pooper scooper from our hands, and now he still has to deal with the smelly pile of shit that Syria is. Brilliant!
The bottom line is that Putin went on his knees and pleaded to the American people ''please do not bomb''. too much is at stake.
You really think that? Seems to me he took advantage of an opportunity created by years of the most buffoonish foreign policy we've had in some time (Hillary, followed by Kerry. Fucking bad jokes. Then we have the liar Rice. And so on). I don't recall Putin begging us not to bomb. I do recall him making subtle threats, perhaps through his friends in Iran and other groups like Hezbollah. He also sent his own ships, including marines, to the region. Of course, to many on the left, this whole series of events was a planned, brilliant strategy on the part of the administration. Of course, anyone who seriously believes that... The real bottom line is Obama stepped in his own shit and Putin threw him a lifeline while making himself look like the peacemaker, and saving his ally Assad's ass (and his chemical weapons) in the process.
sounds like Putin is saying to Obama: don't be an arrogant mofo. strange, that a foreigner is needed to put Obama in check. maybe if Obama listened to Putin b4, there would have been no Boston bombing. Putin had those brothers in his cross hairs. Warned Obama. Obama ignored him. Rest is history. Same shit with Bin Laden. Indonesians had him. Asked Clinton, do you want him? Clinton said nah. Rest is history. Maybe USA is not exceptional. Just a different racist country.
