To add to what they already have. I'm afraid he's moving fast because he knows Obama won't respond and can't think on his feet. This all may escalate very quickly.

Obama to Russia: 'After My Election I Have More Flexibility'

we all know what Obama meant when he said that in 2012.. Obama is a pud on world stage and a bully here at home

Everything is shaping up toward the schit hitting the fan WORLD WIDE. It wouldn't surprise me in the least for the World to melt down into another world war soon.

"The Bear from the North" is doing exactly what the bible said it would.

Obama is and has been responding. Every iota of this is playing out the way he wants it too.

NO response is a response

Yeah, this is scary stuff. You can't back down because it shows weakness, but you can't exactly bully Russia around.

Well there is a hurricane coming, so we can't be bothered with silly international stuff right now. We have to warm up the ATM machine for the super-duper-mega humanitarian crisis that is about to begin.

in my opinion, Obama is nothing more than a socialist global elitist (actually just a community organizer though). He "thinks" he is smarter than everyone else. Yes his goal was to make the US more of a Socialist country like many of the European countries where we could get on board with the UN (one world government) and all sing Cum Bi Ya and the world will be a happy place with unicorns and rainbows. Where his ignorance really shines (as with most progressive liberals) is that he and the UN think they have control over countries like China, Russia, Iran, etc. These people have NEVER played by the rules and NEVER will.

If your planning on starting a war you need soldiers. They are drafting and bastard is forceing ours out of service and down sizeing. Bastard.

That's why I think Putin is making his moves right now. The odds of getting a weaker POTUS than we have now are almost zero. There will not be a better opportunity to become a world power again in his lifetime.

"Russia's foreign minister says his country has not been invited by Iraq to carry out airstrikes against the Islamic State group and others."

So.... do you think the Iraqi government might pick up the phone and call Putin now? Aparently, that's the only reason he's not in Iraq already...

The Iranians are streaming in with boots on the ground to help Assad...

Not looking good for the "friendly" rebels that we have half-assed tried to nurture. Of course we helped the rebels in Afghanistan against the Russians in the 1980s and look where that got us.

Yep

And apparently Hezbollah is going to be sending troops as well. The main difference here I think is that Russia (Putin)doesn't worry much about public opinion, political correctness, or collateral damage.

They arent constrained by those pesky "rules of engagement".

Putin, while strange, is a smart guy. He knows when to pounce. Ukraine now Syria and Iraq. I got a feeling he will make Obama look bad once again. This time though I hope it doesn't cost us. The stakes are much higher now.

He knows Obama is highyella nothing but a coward and won't do anything but run his damn mouth!
