Obama has turned Putin into the worldās most powerful leader
Obamaās daddy dreamed of a world where the United States was no longer a world power or influenceā¦Mission accomplished, Barry! The baton was officially transferred Monday to the worldās new sole superpower ā and Vladimir Putin willingly picked it up.
President Obama (remember him?) embraced the ideals espoused by the United Nationsā founders 70 years ago: Diplomacy and āinternational orderā will win over time, while might and force will lose.
Putin, too, appealed to UN laws (as he sees them), but he also used his speech to announce the formation of a ābroad international coalitionā to fight ISIS in Syria and Iraq.
āSimilar to the anti-Hitler coalition, it could unite a broad range of forcesā to fight āthose who, just like the Nazis, sow evil and hatred of humankind,ā he said. Putin made it clear: āNo one but President [Bashar al-]Assadās armed forces and Kurd militia are fighting the Islamic State.ā
And whoād lead this new coalition? Hint: Moscow has always celebrated the Alliesā World War II victory as a Russian-led fete.
While Putin displayed an air of leadership and diplomacy, rallying the worldās nations to come together to fight a common enemy, President Obama displayed an air of bitterness by focusing on his own failed foreign policy. He seemed to blame and scolded Putin for it. He first criticized Putin for annexing Crimea, which was done with no opposition from Obama despite a US pledge to the Ukraine that America would help defend its sovereign border. Next President Obama criticized Russiaās support of Assad, who Obama blames for the conflict there, despite his own failure to oust Assad from the country after his embarrassing āRed Lineā debacle.
But even as he chided Russia, China and even Iran for being steeped in the policies of the past, it was Obama who at times sounded like a throwback to days of yore. His celebration of the United Nations was reminiscent of scenes from 1950s movies that portrayed it as a place where problems are actually resolved. In reality, along the decades (and even more so in the last six years), the UN became so paralyzed that it can no longer serve as arbiter of global security.
Obamaās speech was, as ever, full of promise. By contrast, Putinās deployment of forces in Syria and arming of Assad create facts on the ground. They have also propelled him to the top by taking initiative on todayās most consequential world fight.
Although Obama received much less applause during his Monday speech than in past years, heās still well-liked at the world body. Because as forceful as Obamaās words are, theyāre rarely backed by action. Putin? Nobody applauded him. Heās more interested in being feared than liked. Then again, his words, at most, are meant to explain forceful action. Thatās how Putin seized leadership from America.
PUTIN TAKES LEAD IN TERROR FIGHT...
