Obama and NATO form coalition against Russia and ISIS

[Lakhota]

Western leaders announced two major initiatives at the NATO summit in Wales on Friday, in an effort to show decisive action in the face of growing global threats.

NATO member states voted on Friday to form a "rapid response force" aimed at countering Russian aggression, while reassuring the organization's eastern member states that they would be protected in case of encroachment onto their territory. Countries such as Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia fear that Moscow may target them next.

NATO chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen said on Friday that the creation of the force sends a clear message to any potential aggressor. "Should you even think of attacking one ally, you will be facing the whole alliance," Rasmussen said, according to the Associated Press.

Also on Friday, the United Statesannounced in Wales that it was spearheading a "core coalition" to battle the militants of the Islamic State group, also known as ISIS. Since launching a lightning offensive in Iraq last June, IS has captured swathes of land in Iraq in addition to territory in Syria, and its fighters have been accused of brutal crimes and human rights offenses.

The core group consists of 10 nations, including France, Germany, and Britain.

Martin Lidegaard, foreign minister of Denmark, one of the members of the core group, explained on Friday that the countries aim to fight the extremist group on several fronts. "It is not only about a military effort, it is also about stopping the financial contributions to ISIS, to coordinate intelligence, it is about stopping foreign fighters, young people from our own societies," Lidegaard said, according to the AP.

Actions speak louder than words so far this is just words.

NATO, all hat, no cattle.

No you're thinking U.N.

The last time NATO Dutch Tuba Players marched into battle was in Bosnia-Herz. They immediately surrendered to aggressive Serbs that threatened to take their chocolate bars, and the Muslim inhabitants of the town they were guarding were slaughtered.

Actually, it sounds like Martin Lidegaard has a plan, and Obama is willing to follow the foreign Minister of Denmark, which is better than any strategy he articulated as a community organizer

Unlike Bush, Obama has prevented terrorists attacks on the U.S. mainland. Nothing Obama could do would satisfy the right (save the jokes about resignation and suicide and assassination).

I think you should have waited to make those statements until the location of the missing Libyan airliners is known. What do you think, Chief?

Major Nidal Hassan at Fort Hood and the Boston Marathon bombing were terrorist attacks on the U.S. mainland.

Bush handed Obama the tools to prevent terrorist attack on the US Mainland.
