Many in the middle of the political spectrum voted for Obama based on his 'Hope & Change' rhetoric, including promises to negotiate with threats versus hitting them head on. It sounds good if negotiations work but we know some cannot and do not want to negotiate. How many people have died because of a weak US international policy versus a strong one? We'll never know but the number of dead can can arguably be associated with this President's weakness is adding up, and it really accelerated when he drew his Red line in Syria which meant nothing.
Now we have a civilian airliner shot down by a Russian rocket launcher that cannot be operated by untrained farm boys.
Who actually believes Putin isn't squarely behind the fighting in Ukraine as he runs his proxy war to destabilize the situation to expand Russian control in an ex-Soviet style? Incredible that Western Europe are so weak (and dependent on Russian oil) while Obama blocks drilling and the Keystone Pipeline which will just be run elsewhere creating more environmental damage while the US imports oil from our Middle East enemies again creating even more environmental damage to ship the oil halfway around the world.
