Back to the Cold War with Russia?

Both Russia and China are ensuring that they poke their collective fingers into the eyes of the United States, under the “leadership” of Barack Hussein Obama.

They do this, like bullies, because they know they can.  They can.

The Russian Sukhoi Su-24 is, truly, not a very good aircraft. It was nothing more than an abject attempt to duplicate the US F-111 with variable geometry wings.  In other words, it is a poor copy that Russia had to make do with for years.  Russia has copied American aircraft for decades, starting with their knockoff of our B-29 and extending to the Buran, their failed copy of our space shuttle.

In a span of two days last week, Russian aircraft, both fixed wing and rotor, buzzed the USS Donald Cook (DDG 75), an Arleigh Burke class guided missile destroyer built in 1996, 505 feet long and weighing 8,900 tons.

The Cook was taking part in exercises with a Polish helicopter in Baltic Sea international waters, some 70 miles from Kaliningrad.  See the map.

USS Donald Cook buzzed again by Russian jets in Baltic

Last Updated Apr 13, 2016 2:55 PM EDT

Yet again Russian jets made provocatively close passes to an American warship, as tensions continue between Moscow and Washington over the conflicts in Ukraine and Syria.

A senior defense official told CBS News that two recent incidents were “more aggressive than anything we’ve seen in some time.”

As documented here.  Over two days the USS Donald Cole was buzzed over 30 times.

Navy veterans and pilots agree that the “flybys” are in clear violation of a 1972 international agreement signed by Russia which delineates that aircraft can come no closer than 1,500 feet laterally and lower than a 1,000 foot altitude.

On the heels of these flybys was the interception and rollover by a SU-27 of a US KC-`135 reconnaissance four-engined aircraft.

Russian Jet Threatened U.S. Recon Aircraft

Barrel rolls over plane in latest Baltic Sea provocation

by Bill Gertz

A Russian fighter jet flew dangerously close to a U.S. RC-135 reconnaissance aircraft on Thursday in the latest military provocation by Moscow over the Baltic Sea, the U.S. European Command said Saturday.

“On April 14, a U.S. Air Force RC-135 aircraft flying a routine route in international airspace over the Baltic Sea was intercepted by a Russian Su-27 in an unsafe and unprofessional manner,” said Navy Capt. Danny Hernandez.

“This intercept comes shortly after the unsafe Russian encounters with USS Donald Cook,” he added. “There have been repeated incidents over the last year where Russian military aircraft have come close enough to other air and sea traffic to raise serious safety concerns, and we are very concerned with any such behavior.”

Hernandez said the U.S. aircraft, a militarized Boeing 707 jet, was operating in international airspace “and at no time crossed into Russian territory.”

This is a clear signal by Russia to Barack Hussein Obama and the rest of the planet.

That message is: “The US won’t defend itself.  It lacks the will and the courage.  So what makes you think they’ll defend you, the Baltic States?”

Truly, an excellent question.

Is Barack Hussein Obama strong, or is he weak?

In the eyes of bullies, he is astoundingly weak.  They like that.

If you remember, Syria is where Mr Obama drew his proverbial red line, and then it was crossed.  Obama did nothing.

“I use the term stunned because I was stunned by that.  It reversed a very complete and comprehensive decision that had just been made a few hours prior to that.  The president made the final decision and a few hours later we’re reversing it, we’re pulling it down.  It was all over the world. 

And our allies would ask me, ‘how can we have confidence in whatever else he says?’ “
— Chuck Hagel, Secretary of Defense, 2013 to 2015

“And so the man who presented himself as a man of peace, has actually presided over much more violence in the Muslim world than happened under his predecessor.”
— Nialil Ferguson, Professor of History, Harvard University

Meaning?  Barack Hussein Obama, “winner of the Nobel Peace Prize — itself awarded to a man for no accomplishments whatsoever solely due to his melanin count by a council of Guilty Overeducated White People (GOWPs) — is responsible for more death and carnage in the Muslim world due to his arrogance, his haughtiness, his wrong-headedness, his shockingly profound inability to understand the mind of anyone other than himself,

So.  Russia builds brand new bases across the Arctic.  And China builds islands and increases its sea and land forces, the US under Obama’s direction is considering cutting an Alaskan paratrooper brigade by 71%.

All this is clearly documented in Fox’s Bret Baier’s special program “Rising Threats, Shrinking Military.”

Niall Ferguson best summarizes:

“The lesson is that, it’s what a great power withdraws, the conflict is most likely to escalate.  That’s exactly what’s happened.  And the result is a sobering one.”

Thank you ever so kindly, Mr Barack Hussein Obama.

And now you know, ladies and gentlemen another why I have never, on this blog, placed the two words “President” and “Obama” together.

It would be an obscenity.

Lastly, think about these quotes from two individuals who served under Obama:

 

“We’re going to see ourselves potentially in a war that is far greater than what we have experienced in the Middle East given everything that the president of the United States has been told about the complexity and the danger that exists in the world today.  Stop the bleeding that you are causing to our armed forces.”
— retired Lt. General Mike Flynn

 

“If the United States doesn’t provide that leadership, nobody else will.  Nobody else will.”
— former SecDef under Obama, Leon Pannetta

Did Obama tell Cuba: return our cop killer?

Obama In Cuba with Che Guevara BehindNO.  Of course he didn’t, nor will he.  Good ol’ Obaka, with Che Guevara behind.  That’s how incredibly ignorant Mr Obama is of what Guevara said and stood for.  More on that in a moment. **

To bring up the issue of an American cop killer acquiring refuge in Cuber might “upset” the two despots of Cuber.  Can’t have that.

Obama Cuba Raul Castro

Michelle and Hussein with Smiling Raul Castro.  Good times.

So while Belgium blows up, Obama ensures he attends a nice baseball game in Cuber.  It’s important that our president does “the wave” with the rest of the crowd.

NBCNews.com actually asks:

Will Obama Demand Cuba Hand Over Fugitive Cop-Killer?

by Tom Winter

White House officials would not tell NBC News whether President Obama will raise the issue of 70 fugitives from U.S. justice — including convicted cop-killer JoAnne Chesimard — who are hiding in Cuba when he meets Cuban leaders during his visit to the island.

Chesimard, who fled to Cuba in 1984 after escaping from a New Jersey prison in 1979, was convicted of the 1973 execution-style murder of New Jersey State Trooper Werner Foerster. She is on the FBI’s Most Wanted International Terrorists list, and is the most notorious of a group of criminals and violent radicals who have sought refuge in Cuba since Fidel Castro took power.

Other fugitives include Willie Morales, who blew off his own hands while making bombs for a Puerto Rican independence group, and Victor Manuel Gerena, the alleged “inside man” in a $7 million armored car robbery.

Uh, no.  No.  He didn’t ask.  He was too entranced with the Castros, baseball and dancing.

Obama Che** Let’s now go back to Che Guevara, the idolized Leftist reactionary that Barack Hussein Obama was ever-so-pleased to be photographed before.

Let’s display a quote from said Che Guevara.

“The Negro is indolent and lazy, and spends his money on frivolities…”
— Che Guevara

So wait.  Barack Hussein Obama is standing before and is — by doing so — tacitly approving of the “revolutionary” Che Guevara?  The racist Che Guevara?

True.  Barack Hussein Obama is that ignorant of history.  He embraces a racist.

Che Guevara, the Argentinean communist who fermented revolutions in Cuba and the Congo, was finally dispatched by the Bolivian forces in 1967. Some 42 years later — long after the specter of revolutionary communism ceased to hound most of mankind — Che appears to be having the last laugh. His image is ubiquitous in the West — adorning the shirts and bags of an affluent but historically illiterate generation. Prince Harry, third in line to the British throne, was spotted wearing a Che t-shirt few years ago. This year’s “Icons” collection by Belstaff (an Italian clothing company) contains a “Che Guevara replica jacket.”

Che Guevara, as Alvaro Vargas Llosa shows in The Che Guevara Myth and the Future of Liberty, was a megalomaniac and a murderer. Embarrassingly for the young idealists sporting his image, he was also a racist, a homophobe and an anti-Semite. “The Negro is indolent and lazy,” Che opined about his Congolese comrades, “and spends his money on frivolities, whereas the European is forward-looking, organized and intelligent.” Ignorance about the real Che is universal. Thus, Angola’s capital of Luanda boasts a Che Guevara Street and the South African capital of Pretoria may soon be graced by a street of the same name.

Obama isn’t stopping there.  Oh, no, not by a wide margin.  He wants to import thousands more Muslims into this country, according to the WashingtonExaminer.com:

White House wants increase of Syrian refugees

by Paul Bedard

The White House is quietly pushing for an increase in refugees from Syria, despite new concerns raised by state and county officials that federal help is often missing when they arrive.

President Obama’s assistant for immigration policy told a task force set up by the National Association of Counties that the U.S. is eyeing a bigger role to help alleviate the growing crisis.

Syrian Refugees Were CREATED by OBAMAFurther, there were 680,000 green cards issued to migrants from Muslim nations from 2009 to 2013 — and will issue another 680,000 green cards to migrants from majority-Muslim nations in the coming five years.

Unless we replace the resident of the Spite House.

Who completely believes he is the smartest man in the room.  Any room.  All the time.  No matter who else is present.  Please click the link above and read the article completely.

In the meantime, the “smartest man in the room” learns absolutely nothing from history and cannot see that he is attempting to duplicate the European Model when, in fact, Europe is in the process of shedding that model.

Because it doesn’t work, and it isn’t working.

All you need to know about Obama’s trip to Cuba

Obama In Cuba with Che Guevara BehindFirst, Raul Castro failed to meet Obama at the airport.

Massive lack of respect.

Obama pandered of course and gushed about, of all things, the food.

In the meantime there are more political prisoners now in Cuba than in many years.  Even though Raul Castro says there are no political prisoners in Cuba.  He asked Obama: name them.

Here they are.  Did or will Obama brace Raul Castro on this lie?  No.

There isn’t anything Obama does that isn’t scripted.  He stood where he did and when he did for a purpose.

Don’t fail to see it.

P.S.

How sad to think that most Leftists, Millennials and college attendees won’t have any idea about the photograph at the top of this post.

 

US govt incompetent: you want MORE Syrians?

The US government under Obama (and with guidance and edicts from Mr Obama) cannot and will not fully and properly vet persons seeking entry into the United States.

Witness, for example, Tashfeen Malik.  Witness the US government massively incompetent.

Witness, for example, US Representative Jason Chaffetz (3rd, UT) take apart various US government drones who admit: they know nothing and, further, they don’t care.

The Obama administration cannot be sure of the whereabouts of thousands of foreigners in the U.S. who had their visas revoked over terror concerns and other reasons, a State Department official acknowledged Thursday.

The admission, made at a House oversight hearing examining immigrant vetting in the wake of major terror attacks, drew a sharp rebuke from the committee chairman.

“You don’t have a clue do you?” Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, told Michele Thoren Bond, assistant secretary for the Bureau of Consular Affairs.

Correct.  Your US government doesn’t have a clue.  It couldn’t care less.

Check out this headline from FoxNews.com:

Feds can’t say whereabouts of those whose visas were revoked over terror threat

That says it all.  After having watched the video, can you draw any conclusions?

I certainly can:

  • The Obama administration isn’t concerned about US security
  • Obama favors Islam over Christianity
  • Obama’s minions fear being “offensive” in the face of terror
  • Obama refuses to name terror because he believes the US is too strong and needs to be taken down; it is responsible for what is bad in the world and needs to make amends, have its power diminished

Each government drone you watched in the video knows they will not be held accountable, they will not be fired, and they will continue to collect their paychecks and enjoy a glorious retirement that you will not experience.

“WHEREABOUTS UNKNOWN OF THOUSANDS WHO HAD VISAS REVOKED IN U.S. DUE TO TERROR CONCERNS.”

Remember: Obama wants to purposely import over one hundred thousand Syrians into the United States.

Read this:

“Ninety percent of Syrian refugee cases are being approved,” Center for Immigration Studies Executive Director Mark Krikorian told the panel. “The average worldwide is 80 percent. How stringent of a vetting process can it be if 90 percent are being approved?”

Europe is already doomed.  Angela Merkel helped to doom the bulk of Europe with a flood of Muslims and Paris has just begun to pay the price.

If we don’t wise up, this country faces the same plight.
