GOP idol is finding out that with a capitalist economy he no longer gets to do as he wishes. He must rely on the west for markets and credit. His credit has dried up and his ruble is worthlessWith all due respect, Kiddies...the Russian economy is taking a beating at the moment because the price of oil and natural gas has gone down sharply and the bulk of the money that Russia takes in is from selling oil and gas to Europe. I'm rather baffled by how THAT is something you can lay at the feet of Barack Obama...who's policies have always been an attempt to raise the cost of oil and natural gas so that the green energy he loves so much can flourish.
His threats of economic war against the west by withholding oil are drying up.
Obama is laughing at tough guy Putin
Yeah, while I'm happy to see Putin put in his place, he still has his nice, soft bed and full fridge. This is hurting his people.
When you're a dickhead on the international stage, karma usually finds you.
Too bad.

I would hope that our foreign policy is a bit more involved than hoping "karma" finds Putin...
Just saying...
Thing about foreign policy is, you can never really know what an administration knows, or what it's doing, or if/how it's cooperating with other countries.
I guess we just have to look at the ultimate results. And holy crap, even THEY change over time.
.
So you're making the argument that although Barack Obama called for increases in the price of oil to make green energy more feasible...that behind the scenes he was actually working to lower the cost of oil? I'm sorry, Mac...but that's laughable.
I'm not just talking about oil. I said "foreign policy". A little more complicated.
And yes, there is still no way for us to know what's actually going on.
Unless you're privy to information that I am not.
