As John Kerry attempts to drum up support for the war in Syria, Vladimir Putin makes no bones about what he thinks of the Obama administration’s arguments for war. Russia has essentially called Secretary of State Kerry a liar, by releasing its recently compiled 100 page report “proving” that Syrian rebels are responsible for using chemical weapons in Syria. If true, the Obama administration will not only become the laughingstock of the international community but will also lose all credibility on foreign affairs for the next three years.
The American people already have many reasons to be dubious about the Obama administration’s reasons for war. Adding the Russian report to the pile could prove to be the last straw for what has quickly devolved into the most scandal ridden and ineffective administration since the Grant years. The Syria debacle comes on the heels of the Fast and the Furious scandal, the NSA scandal, the IRS scandal, the Justice Department scandals, the State Department scandals, the Benghazi scandal, the Secret Service scandal… creating one contentious storm of ineptitude in Washington, DC. It seems like the perfect time for our enemies (and make no mistake – Russia is a political enemy of the USA) to take advantage of our weakened position.
In fact, news from the G20 Summit near St. Petersburg says that Russian President Putin is meeting today with the President of Brazil, Dilma Rousseff. Why would this matter? Ms. Rousseff just recently learned that the NSA has been spying on her, and let’s just say that the Brazilian government is not happy with us right now. This is bad news because Brazil has the fastest growing economy in South America, plus a booming population that makes it the perfect trade partner for our immediate future. Only now they’re cozying up to the Russians.
Our President is single-handedly destroying our national reputation and turning us into a joke for the rest of the world. That’s hope and change for you.
