Putin is such a smarmy tyrant, it’s infuriating and tragic that he is crushing the U.S. in a high stakes geopolitical chess game. His condescending and disingenuously preachy tone is an ironic little addendum to his humanitarian track record of prohibiting gays from participating in the Olympics, attempting to annex a slice of Georgia, prohibiting Americans from adopting Russian orphans purely out of spite, killing or imprisoning political opponents, and killing or imprisoning journalists.
The unfolding of the Syria crisis is cringe-worthy. Obama has been exposed as weak and indecisive—many Democrats aren’t even denying this self-evident fact at this point. The autocrat Putin, who is arming the Syrian dictator, is naturally emboldened by Obama’s indecisiveness and has the temerity to claim the moral high ground! Even more cringe-worthy is reading the comment section of the op-ed, in which naïve and clueless idiot after naïve and clueless idiot PRAISES Putin for his outreach and sincere humanitarian agenda!
Obama is ultimately responsible, he is the President, but our biggest national security weakness is the Secretary of Defense, Chuck Hagel, who might be the worst Secretary of Defense in our nation’s history. If his bungling confirmation hearing didn’t make it painfully obvious that he is incompetent, surely his conduct in the job seals the case. He was an inconsequential Senator (which harms no one) but now he is an absolutely feckless and inept Sec Def, who the Russians are discounting as someone who will press Obama to be more decisive. He is just awful. Obama might have assembled the worst national security team since Prime Minister Chamberlain.
