Last month, Obama claimed that Putin’s “tough-guy schtick” is usually only done in play to impress the Russians. Oh, really Mr. President? At least Obama was right on the plan to “reset” relations with Russia – they have indeed been reset. Russia has the upper hand now on foreign relations. Amazingly, only a few weeks ago, Obama, the fool-in-chief, said the Russian president’s “bored, tough guy ‘schtick’ [is] aimed at [an] internal audience.” (He didn’t mention that “internal” stretched beyond Russia’s borders at that time.) Embarrassingly, Russia’s deputy prime minister laughed off President Obama’s sanction list, and tweeted insults, asking “Comrade @BarackObama” if “some prankster” had come up with the embargo list. He then tweeted again to “Comrade @BarackObama” and asked “what should do those who have neither accounts nor property abroad? Or U didn’t think about it?” Russian senior politicians openly mocking America. Awful. The 11 Russian and Ukrainian officials who were hit with American sanctions as punishment for Russia’s support of Crimea’s referendum knew this was coming for weeks. And they couldn’t care less, as it’s ineffectual and means nothing. As another Russian, Vladislav Surkov, told a Russian newspaper, “It’s a big honor for me. I don’t have accounts abroad. The only things that interest me in the U.S. are Tupac Shakur, Allen Ginsberg, and Jackson Pollock. I don’t need a visa to access their work. I lose nothing.” Obama’s sheltered experience has been evident during his administration. He doesn’t mind his own business, doesn’t understand the importance of keeping one’s word, and thinks he is still in his Ivy League world. In Realpolitik, strength breeds peace. American power and strength could allow Putin to step back with victory in Crimea, and call it a day. Let us hope that’s a possibility and Obama will not bungle the situation any further. President Obama is a simple laughingstock. He promised change – the change will be that the world will be a much different place after two Obama terms. Much less stable, and powerful for Western interests. Obama will go down as the worst American President in history. Comrade Obama is the world’s laughingstock.
