Yes, Obama avoided war. By surrendering. We could have made the entire Cold War irrelevant simply by adopting communism and bowing to the Soviet Masters. Doubtless many of Obama's influences advocated exactly that policy.
In reality Obama is a joke. He has no credibility. He will take no concrete steps nor exhibit leadership. And the idependent country of the Ukraine will return to the soviet orbit as Putin rebuilds the Soviet Empire.
More enslavement, yes!
Elections have consequences.
And Obama's election had bad consequences for the rest of us.
