Putin is a stone killer. Obama is out of his depth with him. The guy came up in times where one had to be plumb bard to rise. He's KGB and not some file clerk either. Putin knows how to play games of state and is not afraid to get dirty. Underestimating him is done so at ones own peril. Obama will not cow him with a show of state confidence.
Inwardly, Putin is just snickering at him. He has NO respect for Obama. None. He won't give him a micron. Putin is old school Soviet, where no human problem could not be solved with a division of T72s and 10 squadrons of TU26s. Or just a single agent with a Makarov. He has risen in tbe "new" Russia with the same old lines of thought. Obama was handed his success. Putin killed to gain his. I don't like Putin. But, I won't dismiss him as inconsequential. Obama would do well to use great care.
I doubt that anyone really thinks Putin is intimidated or impressed in any way. If Obama does he's made a mistake.
He did say he didn't draw the "red line" the world did. People have got be be thinking our President is on something or really no shovel ready for the job of being President.
Is bold face lying part of the liberal progressive trait? Our President has practiced this one well..
My post was in regard to the person who started this thread who clearly did not read the article in their own link. The article was about body language and that Obama greeted Putin as if he was a nobody and Putin showed body signs of being intimidated by Obama.
As for your link, there is opposition to the strike in fear that it will cause oil prices to increase, I understand and agree with them. But your article doesn't state the international world is siding with Putin, the international world is siding with commerce.
