What "policy objective" for Putin and Russia was Obama promising here?

Giving away Crimea?

What was Obama's "policy objective" to famously downplay (even mock) Putin and Russia's meddling and aggression around the world during the presidential debates with Romney?

The referral will be going to the Senate.

Nope. Gonna be shot down next week. Pelosi has already pledged not to put pressure on moderate Democrats or swing state reps to impeach. That’s code for “I don’t expect this to pass.”

NDrLoR says

They were called "useful idiots",

Do the Dems give gold stars when you are promoted to 'useful idiot' from 'plain idiot'?

You might not have noticed but Mattis left after the Syria retreat as it was a pure play for Russia and a disaster for the states and the rest of the world.

Last I checked, I believe Trump has more troops in the Middle East right now than Obama had after he inexplicably fulfilled Russia's "Policy Objective" of removing every last US troop from Iraq letting ISIS take fire in the Region inviting both Russia and Iran into Syria.

Speaking of Russian "Policy Objectives" - I totally forgot this doozy from Obama canceling the missile program in Poland at Putin's request.

There is so much about Trump that is worthy of legitimate complaints on both the Left and Right. But this fucking dumb as shit "Trump is a Russian Asset" bullshit is beyond retarded.

That withdrawal was stupid as in we sell out one of our very few allies in ME (Kurds) so that we would not be trusted by anyone, but I do not see how Russians benefit from it. They are now sucked into Syria quagmire full time.

I think it is a good trolling .

agreed, this is not that bad of a joke and he kinda walked into it if I think for a second.
Most jokes directed at him however are as funny as banshees screaming

HEYYOU says

Bet I could scare the crap out of them with a drone.

Nah. That's what a shotgun is for.

I think the only way to reach out to democrats is to continually talk about their brainwashing. Because, until that is addressed, the back and forth goes no where. The media, yahoo, google, twitter, facebook, have them mind controlled through emotional manipulation, so no real evidence or facts are allowed. Your IQ drops about 20 points (and more) when you're emotionally disturbed, and those mentioned above are working it day and night.

Yes, this seems true to me, and central to US politics.

If you can get people emotional, you don't have to present very good reasoning.

No, everyone gets the same award so as not to hurt anyone's feelings.

OccasionalCortex says

Because it would cause a cascading cognitive dissonance disaster for them.


Jesus, if you can't make and take a joke when the Pres. says something as silly as his toilet talk you really have a problem.

TrumpingTits says

What UK-EU rules? There won't be any post-Brexit. The only Brexit that will happen will be pretty much a hard one.

There will be some kind of EU-UK agreement.

They should be sent to Catholic schools to be educated by priests instead.

OccasionalCortex says

Doubtful. Because ANY agreement on the EU side requires UNANIMOUS buy-in by all EU nations. So to sabotage that, all Boris has to do is piss off one or two Euroweenie nations Trump-style over something else entirely.

All he has to do is threaten German Cars and French Wine. That's who really runs the EU.

Whether he plays hardball or not is the question.

From the article:

"The Americans spent the last seven decades paying the world to be on their side. Those days are over. The only countries that will be able to enjoy U.S. market access and strategic cover are those who either pay the U.S. a lot of money, or bring something exceedingly shiny to trade. Supercarriers, being the gold standard of strategic assets, count. Islands off major continents, being the gold standard of strategic positions, count.

Simply put, the United Kingdom has an in so long as it cow-tows appropriately. Japan is in a strikingly similar position for similar reasons. Mexico gets an invitation because it is an entangled neighbor with a dynamic economy. Canada (barely) squeaks over the threshold largely out of habit. South Korea (so far) is paying its way.

And that’s…everyone."

God I hope he's right.

Beautiful Sentiment.

Wouldn't it be nice not to pay for freeloading backseat drivers like the Germans and French?

Hahaha holy shit! When you’ve got the Queen as your caddy, that’s boss!

Photoshop probably.

Shaman says

Seems like the author is saying that the UK will shortly become a vassal state of the USA!

Unlikely they would exit the EU for a worse deal someplace else. Having written that, a vassal state to the US might be better than being in the EU.

She wants to return the camera instead of configuring it correctly.

“The fact that they’re just continuing to give customers the same blanket statement, it’s like they don’t seem concerned at all,” she told The Washington Post. “To be honest, it felt like they were trying to place the blame on me. As a mother, I already feel guilty enough that I let this happen to my family. … There’s just no need for that.”"

No agency or responsibility on her part, Easier to blame the company and demand they take back a perfectly functional device over HER user error.

Greta WOULD make the perfect nun.

Cut that behemoth down!! I say fire 50% of all federal employees.

jerk off on her face while she's being torn to pits, exactly as the Founding Fathers commanded.

The "Pounding Fathers?"

I doubt that even most devoted priests would molest her tho
