Obama Caves to Putin

How ironic! The Marxist in the White House capitulates to the Russians over the promised missile defense shields in eastern Europe, and he announces his cowardly act on the 70th anniversary of the Soviet invasion of Poland.

Of course, we all knew this day was coming because Obama is a cross betweem Neville Chamberlain and Jimmy Carter. When in recent decades have liberals ever kept their word to allies in their time of need?

Smooth move in winning the hearts of eastern Europeans, Mr. President. What was that liberals said about Obama healing our relations around the world?

Watch and see how the Russians will become emboldened by this move on Obama's part.

Read the following article from Joshua Pundit:

Is Obama Selling Out The Poles And Czech Republic?

"Updated and Bumped Up: He sure is. The announcement came today to confirm this.

Apparently the Czech interim Prime Minister found out via a midnight phone call. The eObama Administration had been talking about doing this previously, but even I didn't think they'd be silly enough to follow through. Especially without any kind of Russian quid pro quo:


'Russia on Thursday welcomed the news but said it saw no reason to offer concessions in return. Russian President Dmitry Medvedev threatened last November to station tactical Iskander missiles on Poland's border if the U.S. system was deployed.

"The Bush plans on the missile defense as we knew them until now were nothing more than a provocation of security in the European region," said Dmitry Rogozin, Russia's ambassador to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, in a phone interview.{..}

Last week, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said he expected the Obama administration to drop the missile-defense plans. He said that Moscow wouldn't view the move as a concession but rather a reversal of a mistaken Bush-era policy.

Still, the decision is likely to be seen in Russia as a victory for the Kremlin.'


It certainly is.

The fiction that both Bush and Obama were peddling is that the missile defense systems were primarily designed to protect against Iran. That was obviously just a line for PR purposes. The policy on locating missile defense components in Eastern Europe was made long before the US even acknowledged that the American NIE on Iran in 2007 claiming Iran stopped its nuclear weapons program back in 2003 was nothing more than bogus horse manure.

No, this was always only incidentally about Iran and more about protecting our NATO allies in Eastern Europe against any attempts to absorb them back into the Russian empire.

The Poles tried to put a good face on this, not commenting on Obama's decision except to say that they expect the U.S. will abide by its commitments to help upgrade Poland's military. if I were them, I wouldn't count on it.

Every nation in the old Soviet Empire has just been placed on notice that they're on their own, and they had better make whatever accommodations they can with the Bear. It's a shameful betrayal and an unmitigated display of weakness.

It will cost us dearly, and as the Russians have made crystal clear, Obama can expect to get nothing for it.

It's one thing to whore yourself out. It's quite another to do it and not even get paid for it.

It looks that way...


'Four senior Obama officials, including Under Secretary of State for Arms Control Ellen Tauscher and Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security "Sandy" Vershbow, are apparently in the air right now on their way to Poland. Why? If the Washington hot rumor mill is right, to deliver the news to the Poles and then the Czechs that the administration has decided not to go forward with a missile defense system for Europe and the United States against the budding missile threat from Iran.'


If this is how things go down, it's simply stunning in it's duplicity..and stupidity.

We promised the Poles and Czechs we would follow through on this, and they made decisions based on our word. If we leave them hanging out to dry, it represents a complete surrender to Russia and Putin.

And we'll get nothing for it. If Obama is throwing our allies under the bus in hopes Putin will help him on Iran's nuclear weapons program, he's not paying attention. Just a few days ago the Russians announced one more time that they would not support any sanctions against Iran. I don't see that changing,especially if Obama delivers up the peoples of the Old Soviet Empire to the Russians first.

I hope Israel and whatever allies we still have left takes notice of this and keeps it in mind.

Weak, amateurish and desperate.I think we're in for some fireworks."
