How do you get the idea that Obama has Putin / Russia on their knees?
Obama's 1st attempt to 'deal' with Putin / Russia was to send the highly incompetent and corrupt Hillary to present a Russian diplomat with a small wooden and plastic prop of a 'reset' button. Giggling like a school girl Hillary handed over the prop...that came with a plaque that said 'OVER-CHARGE'' in Russian. She and her State Department subordinates were so incompetent that she could not even successfully research and come up with the Russian word for 'Reset'. WAY TO EMBARASS THE US AS INCOMPETENT, HILLARY!
- This, of course, was during / after Hillary had already sold Putin /Russians 1/5th of our stock of plutonium AND after she had gotten caught and stopped from attempting to sell Putin / Russia several of the Aleutian Islands, to include the mineral rights to those islands!
America made a promise to the Ukraine that it would protect and ensure the sovereignty of its borders.
- Putin laughed, invaded Crimea, gave Obama the finger, and Obama sat in the corner with his thumb in his mouth. Putin followed that move up by pretty much taking the industrial / energy-producing section of Eastern Ukraine...to which Obama again responded by doing...nothing.
Obama's horrific 'Red Line' fiasco played right into Putin's hands. Obama declared his Red Line, Assad ignored it, and Obama...cowardly backed down, showing both our allies and enemies he was all talk and no action. (No he should not have gone to war - he should never have issued his dumb-ass Red Line to begin with.) During this whole thing Obama further, and completely, embarrassed the US by once again trying to blame anyone else but him for HIS F* Up -- he publicly declared it was not HIS Red Line but 'the WORLD'S' Red Line.
- Obama then began his proxy war with Assad / Syria. KNOWING Obama would do nothing, not only did IRAN send troops into Syria to defend Assad but so did Putin. He sent fighters, tanks, and troops...then began systematically destroying the US-backed resistance (Obama's Proxy War), destroying supplies, weapons, and fighters.
Obama, as part of his proxy war, was also supplying, arming, and even training fighters for ISIS. He was so obsessed with Assad and Syria that he let ISIS invade Iraq, taking over much of the country our military had liberated at great expense. He sought to 'contain' them and hoped they would help him overthrow Assad. Instead they spread into Belgium, Africa, Afghanistan, France...and even into the US.
Obama declared ISIS was contained, the night before Paris suffered it's worst attack since WWII at the hands of ISIS. This was so embarrassing for Obama/the US that Putin seized the opportunity to jump in, take the position as the leader of the coalition against ISIS, and he and France launched a vicious bombing campaign that struck targets Obama had been protecting. While French and Russian bombers were in-bound to strike ISIS targets Obama was having our military drop leaflets down to ISIS members warning them that an attack was coming.
Obama also aided Putin / Russia in regards to the Iran 'deal'. As soon as Obama negotiated the end of Sanctions against Iran Russia and Iran wasted no time in agreeing to a weapons sale that sent highly technical surface to air defense systems into Iran, systems that upgraded their ability to protect their nuclear facilities.
Obama's incompetence and naivety goes back to his debate with Romney in which Romney accurately warned of Putin and Russia being a threat. Obama decided to try to score a 'sound-byte' victory, and since then it has been proven ROMNEY, not Obama, was right.
Way to go, Barry!
Hey Barry, the 1980s called...they called you a dumbass, said you should have listened to Romney, and says Putin has made you his b!tch!
So EXACTLY how has Barry put Putin / Russia on their knees?
- You must be thinking of Bill and Monica.
There are three major causes for Russia’s economic troubles. The first cause is the corruption and bad economic policies that Putin pursues, which on their own would lead to stagnation, or at most 1 percent growth.
The second element is the falling oil prices. The oil prices have now fallen so much that Russia’s total export revenues this year will be two-thirds of what they have been before. That means that Russia will have to cut its imports by half. This is a big blow.
This is then reinforced by the financial sanctions, so that Russia cannot mitigate this blow by borrowing money. By ordinary standards, Russia is perfectly credit-worthy with a public debt that is only 10 percent of GDP. But if you don’t have access to financial markets, then it doesn’t matter how credit-worthy you are, because you’re not credit-worthy so-to-say.
[Editor’s Note: On Jan. 9, Fitch Ratings cut Russia’s credit rating to BBB-, one step above junk.]
