President Bush had 4700 of our troops needlessly killed because he was afraid of a paper tiger. Saddam_HusseinSadly I believe he is and Putin knows it. I don't believe it would pull this crap if GWB was still president........Say what you want about President Bush. He had the respect of the European nations........Obama does not have that respect and unless things change we could be in another Cod War situation.

Putin literally invaded and occupied about a quarter of a foreign country when Bush was President, he was "pulling this crap" well before Obama was President.
And I wouldn't worry about the Cod War, we got those boys from Deadliest Catch on our side.

Well last August during the Putin-Obama staredown over Syria, Obama blinked.
Putin has little respect for Obama. Obama is a pantywaist when it comes to foreign affairs.
Putin held G.W. Bush in awe. But I'm sure Condoleezza Rice gave Bush some pointers how to deal with KGB thugs.
Obama got Syria to dismantle its chemical weapons without firing a shot. Your little narrative simply doesn't square up with reality.

And your boy Johnson had 58,000 in Nam.......Your point is???
Yeah, Putin wouldn't pull anything when Bush was president. Yanno, except for that whole 2008 invasion of Georgia, the botched theater hostage crisis of 2002, and other assorted bullcrap with Chechnya.
Most of the European leaders strongly disliked Bush. Talk about revisionist history.
You think the Cold War was all about "respect"?
You brought up Bush in the first place dude.
Your damn right I did my left wing friend and I stand by my statement.
Obama doesn't bomb Syria, then he blinked in the face of Putin
If Obama had bombed Syria, he'd be a warmonger
For the record I think the "red line" comment was stupid, it was a bad move to make what was clearly a threat to use military force at some point in the future when we didn't know what the situation would be like at that point in the future. But credit where credit is due he managed to get something out of it in the end by arranging this deal to dismantle Syria's chemically weapons without the US having to engage in military action, something which is of course far cheaper for us and less dangerous to our military.
And really at the end of the day did we not achieve the best outcome to that crisis? Mistakes were made on the way there for sure but ultimately we got to a point where we arranged a diplomatic deal that allowed us to help oversee the peaceful destruction of a nation's WMD stockpiles. What other outcome would have been better?
Actually our self proclaimed war hero, John Kerry has a Joe Biden moment and blundered.
Putin saw a way from preventing a war with the USA and saving Obama looking more incompetent than he already is.
But I concur, the "red line" comment was stupid.
