GOP exposing U.S. as weak emboldens Putin

[bitterlyclingin]

You're assuming Putin is so stupid he can't tell at a glance the anal fornicator Obama is a pushover. Lions, leopards and cheetahs can tell fairly quickly surveying a herd of prey animals which are the weakest or sickest individuals, the ones most likely to yield a quick and easy meal. After five years of Barack Obama's never ending Neville Chamberlain impersonations "Please Mr Hitler, we'll give you whatever you want, do whatever you want, but please no more war!" Putin has got Obama's number by now. He don't need no damn Republican to tell him Comrade O has his head up his arse with his world view.

[G.T.]

Obama can counter this by simply manning up.

and do what? bomb Russia?

start another 10 year long war we can't afford for no reason.

yeah, that's the ticket.

or perhaps the Obama deranged can start to understand that their insanity is bordering on treasonous.

why is your only alternative to what he is doing, war?

Listen closely. NO ONE is suggesting a war. No one will win a war like that...no matter WHO comes on top.

In my opinion, the best policy for this is isolation. Now, let me explain before you go off on some rant about what an ass I am......

What did Obama do right? He threatened sanctions. He threatened the G8. He threatened the paralymics.

What did he do wrong? What showed a sign of weakness?

Sending Kerry...or ANYBODY there to "discuss things". It gave the action credence. It gave Putin the comfort of knowing that we are willing to "negotiate" to end the situation.

Why is that a sign of weakness?

If someone stole your best friends bike, do you think it is a sign of weakness by going to the thief and saying "what can we do to get you to give that bike back?"

Why should you do/give ANYTHING to get that bike back? It is giving in to an unprovoked action.

In my opinion, I would have liked Obama to have said this:

Russia is out of line and they are to retreat immediately. If, in fact, they are concerned about the welfare of the people of Ukraine as they claim, we will gladly help the Russians come up with different ideas on how to achieve a working government. But we will NOT do ANYTHING until they retreat from the border. In the meantime, we are prepared to levy sanctions against Russia including, but not limited to economic and social.

Sure, he said some things...but then he made Russia "important" by sending one of our leaders over to discuss things.

It showed concern...and in a situation like this, showing concern is showing weakness.

weakness to an immature frame of mind dude

seriously

how....corny

Ouch.

That hurt my feelings.

Sorry but what?



That's the resolution.

It says NOTHING about WMDs.

Bush said that Iraq had NOTHING to do with 9/11.

Quite simply he violated the resolution by attacking Iraq.

Listen up son...

That had NOTHING to do with Iraq.

Grow up.

My bad.

This was the one they used..

The resolution cited many factors to justify the use of military force against Iraq:[2][3]

Iraq's noncompliance with the conditions of the 1991 ceasefire agreement, including interference with U.N. weapons inspectors.
Iraq "continuing to possess and develop a significant chemical and biological weapons capability" and "actively seeking a nuclear weapons capability" posed a "threat to the national security of the United States and international peace and security in the Persian Gulf region."
Iraq's "brutal repression of its civilian population."
Iraq's "capability and willingness to use weapons of mass destruction against other nations and its own people".
Iraq's hostility towards the United States as demonstrated by the 1993 assassination attempt on former President George H. W. Bush and firing on coalition aircraft enforcing the no-fly zones following the 1991 Gulf War.
Members of al-Qaeda, an organization bearing responsibility for attacks on the United States, its citizens, and interests, including the attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, are known to be in Iraq.
Iraq's "continu[ing] to aid and harbor other international terrorist organizations," including anti-United States terrorist organizations.
Iraq paid bounty to families of suicide bombers.
The efforts by the Congress and the President to fight terrorists, and those who aided or harbored them.
The authorization by the Constitution and the Congress for the President to fight anti-United States terrorism.
The governments in Turkey, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia feared Saddam and wanted him removed from power.
Citing the Iraq Liberation Act of 1998, the resolution reiterated that it should be the policy of the United States to remove the Saddam Hussein regime and promote a democratic replacement.

Which one of the "reasons" holds up today?

lol. So easy to be a Monday morning quarterback.

You must be special!

Obama's apology Tour did more damage to America's reputation than anyone posting at USMB

 

[RoadVirus]

The republicans are telling the whole world that the United states is weak. It is totally anti-American and treasonous. It's worse than Snowden's revelations.

They don't have to tell the whole world we are weak because everyone knows it already.

Playing politics with America's reputation, shows that the right wingers will do anything to make Obama look bad.

Obama accomplished that all by himself.

Your entire post is a load of melodramatic bullshit.

 

[hangover]

So far, all the cons are laughing at their treason. They should change the name of their party to the Benedick Arnold Party. So proud to aid the enemy.

1. Looney left mocked bush through
his entire presidency.

Not so, they blindly followed him in the invasion of Iraq, because they bought his lies.
[/quote]

2. Counted our soldiers deaths daily. When the number hit a thousand, the lefties celebrated.

[/QUOTE]

[/quote]

3. Outraged at water boarding our enemy's, eventhough our troops are water boarded as part of their training. Even though were totally silent when our enemy killed 3 americans. What difference does it make?

[/QUOTE]

[/quote]

4. Kerry made up lies about our soldiers terrorizing villages, raping women. Just think, liberals wanted him to be president.

[/QUOTE]
denial is not a country, but you live there.
[/quote]

5. Harry ried stated that the war in iraq was lost while we were still fighting the war

.[/QUOTE]
Reid doesn't live in denial.
[/quote]

6. Obama stated bush was unpatriotic for spending, while he has out spent all presidents combined.

[/QUOTE]
Raygun added $1.9 trillion, Shrub daddy added $1.4 trillion, Clinton added $1.4 trillion, Shrub Jr. added $6.1 trillion and destroyed the economy for Obama to clean up, Obama has added $6 trillion cleaning up Shrub's mess. That's $9.4 trillion added by cons, $7.4 trillion added by libs. SO YOU'RE FULL OF SHIT, and here's the link to prove it.

7. Dan rather was gonna run a made up story about bush and he knew it was made up.
That's just a few of the liberal treasonous acts the left pulled during the bush years.

[/QUOTE]
Wow! Blaming Dan Rather instead of Obama, shocking!

If the voters of this country don't vote the republicans out of congress this year, they are as dumb as the GOP hopes they are.

Seriously? You don't think the world noticed Obama's lack of resolve until the GOP pointed it out? Wow.

Typical democrat. They are more concerned with obama's weakness being exposed than they are about obama's weakness.

The USA is not inherently weak. It is Obama who is weak and, sadly, that image transmutes to America as a whole.

On a more positive note, don't look for Republicans to be voted out. Won't happen.

Obama started this perception four years ago with his apology tour, numbnuts......

Yeah sure, the cons proved how tough they were in Iraq and Afghanistan, when they couldn't win those wars, and couldn't even get the real perp, Bin Laden. Obama had to get him.

BWAH HA HA! And you call bigot southerners voting for cons a positive note. BWAH HA HA!
Those bigot southerners are getting fewer and fewer. They're starting to realize the GOP is trying to take their welfare checks.

In his latest move to strike fear into the heart of the Russian military, obama is mothballing the F-22 fighter jet.

 

[Darkwind]

Where do Republicans draw their line? Is there anything in the world more than party and self-interest? I challenge Republicans to name one single item where they have acted for the greater good of the country.

Stopping the Obama Agenda.....Do I get a cookie?

I don't think your leader needs much help from us!

 

[Luddly Neddite]

If only we had a self-centered dictator who will starve his own people and kill hundreds of thousands for no reason except his own ego.

but oh no. We're stuck with a twice-elected president who is thoughtful and careful and works for jobs and economic recovery and refuses to invade and destroy countries who have done nothing to us.

Yep, Russians have a lot to be proud of in those faked photos of their ruthless dictator's faked exploits. And some dumb ass rw's fall for every bit of it.

Oh, but Putin really did shoot that tiger but only after the tiger had been caught in a snare so the slimy monster Putin couldn't get hurt if the poor animal fought back.

Its backfiring on the traitors though. The world is not as stupid as some rw's are. The world knows exactly what the rw traitors are doing.

Some rw's are incredibly cowardly. Some of them post here.

A weak President does not equate to a weak America.

Nice fail btw.

Trying to convince the world that the president is weak doesn't make it so, it only shows how low cons will go.

Nice double down on your treason.

Believe what you need to believe, but your believing it does not make it so.

Cutting the defense budget, previous meetings, previous dealings with other leaders would be more of a way a leader views another leader.

So.....when does he plan on doing that?

All i've seen this loser do in the way of economic recovery and jobs is sign a bill that wasted $800B and let loose the EPA to regulate businesses to death.
