On a wider point, I recall posting on here when Obama was elected it would make the world a more dangerous place as he would be a weak leader.

So you'd prefer a president who takes instructions from his god and waltzes his troops into any old non-christian country at the drop of a hat, because that makes the world a safer place ?

Well Russia has just tested a ICB missile, arguably to stick two fingers up to threats of sanctions, etc.

Russian stock market fell by 11% after the troops moved in and Rouble is falling also. As Putin and his bully boy oligarch chums are only interested in siphoning off as much cash out of Russia as they can he's just devalued his own and his mates assetts considerably. If he keeps losing his backers money then Putin will be the one with the polonium glow as his organs disolve.
Here's hoping.

Obama's indecisiveness significantly weakens the USA.

All this 'red line' over Syria and 'there will be costs' over Ukraine. It's all just empty threats. He knows it and everyone else knows it.

Saw a video a few days ago posted where Obama was taking the mickey out of Romney during one of the presidential debates because Romney suggested Russia was still the biggest threat (or words to that effect). He's probably not taking the michael now.

Personally, I think the biggest hypocrite in this whole thing is Putin, who spouts nonsense about looking after the rights of Russians, while at the same time he goes about persecuting minorities in his own country, simply because he is a homophobe.

Maybe he doesn't wish Russia to make the same mistakes and suffer the same moral decline as the West?

Well Russia didn't suffer from flooding. They got the Winter Olympics and a slightly larger country.
Obviously Putin's is the way to go.

Its well known that those who rail against homosexuality are actually doing so to hide the fact that they themselves are attracted to people of the same sex - Putin is a prime example and I'd hazard a guess that you are having difficulties surpressing your own sexual urges?
