FROM THE BBC: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-37548695 World War III coming soon? Russia + China vs. USA + Eurozone vs. Islam on the Side with Latin America jerking off in the back?
If you think Russia and China go to war with the US over not selling weapons to this dictator you're suffering from delusions..the people there aren't big fans of the Chinese to start with...unless they want to be swallowed up by China....ask Tibet how that worked out
That jerk facist might just turn the Phillipines into the next North Korea.....who is also chummy with Russia and China....
Obama is getting kicked around right now by the rest of the world. Example: The Russians just moved serious type missile defense systems into Syria. These advanced systems can bring down our low flying cruise missiles, and are believed to be capable of finding and killing our most advanced stealth airplanes. ISIS and the rebels in Syria do not have any airplanes or missiles, none. This aggressive action by the Russians is against the USA. What has Obama done to stop the escalation by Russia? Nothing! The result is, our military is now much weaker in the Middle East, and Russia is stronger.
Seems to be a pattern here. If Obama doesn't get his way, or is embarrassed by his incompetence, he disengages. He doesn't deal with republicans. He doesn't deal with Russia/Putin. He didn't deal with the Iraqi government to keep ISIS from taking over. His approach to making friends and influencing people makes things worse. Hiliar's "reset with Russia" was an utter failure, too. Not sure if this is real, but if there were a countdown clock to war with Russia, it's a lot closer to midnight now than when Obama took offie. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/19138...ares-syria-stalemate-to-cuban-missile-crisis/ MOSCOW ON THE OFFENSIVE Russian state newspapers predict ‘direct military conflict’ with US as it compares Syria stalemate to Cuban missile crisis 'Third World War' fears have been voiced by the newspapers over the growing tensions between the USA and Syria
nonsense.......Obama stood up to that asshole Putin and Congress shut him out of getting anything done since the day he was sworn in office....you're stretching here from you Hillary and Obama hate as if the Congress or Putin are blame free.....Putin is a snake....Obama had the worst Congress to deal with of any I can remember. The world lives in conflict with terrorist organizations and has for a couple decades....we are at war and so are our allies....they have my support as does the president...there will not be another large scale ground war like WWII again...now it's all done with suicide bombers and drones. Anti American terrorists were better organized and dictators in the Middle East were anti American too.....Obama snuffed out Bin Laden and they were definitely stronger when he took office than today....Syria is not some American problem...it's a Syrian problem. Russia broke the cease fire agreement and you blame Hillary.....c'mon man
Its all about the South China Sea trade routes. Chances are, China is paying off Duerte and other politicos to open these up as well as to get the US out of the Phillipines. China is basically doing what the US did in the 1970s, bribing and influencing parts of the words to get their way and strengthen their influence. When I used to go to Mexico for work, I would always see Chinese businessmen at the airport, they were up to something big back then. They are locking up these trade routes as well as natural resources in Africa and establishing manufacturing and infrastructure agreements around the globe.
Good leaders get both sides to work together. Bad leaders blame the other side for their failures. Obama is not a good leader. It does not matter if you said congress shut him out, his job is to get both sides to work together. Coming out and telling everyone the shutdown of the federal govt was all because of republicans, showed obama is a bad leader. Even if that were true, you never say that because it makes the situation even more adversarial.
You realize the Phillipines claims the Spratley islands and is in a cold war with China over them? I think this dictator has a target on his back there....when I was in the Phillipines the folks hated Chinese businessmen in general....a lot of Fillipina domestic workers have suffered working in China and Singapore..I don't buy for a second that they would welcome Chinese intrusion
the truth hurts.....the GOP did shutdown govt and consistently lack any desire to work across the aisle..Congress actively lobbied against his proposals while voting themselves raises...they didn't want Obama's presidency to succeed on any level which pisses me off. Congress has no business running an election campaign for their majority party during working hours....Congress was divisive on all fronts
Yeah, but the Chinese filipinos are the elite class in the Philippines. The officials are corrupt. The populace is weak and powerless. All China has to do to get more influence is have the ability to go in there and develop infrastructure. Its all a game of global Risk.
Uh.... no. This is just silly spin. I do mean silly. Bill Clinton had a congress who impeached him. I'd call that the most hostile congress. And he was able to get shit done. We are at war. We are at war with countries that were our allies when Obama took over. I don't see how you can spin surrender in Iraq and expansion of war into multiple countries we had no presence in, to be positive with a straight face. The guy won a Nobel Peace Prize, then goes out and initiates all these new confrontations (Syria, Pakistan, Libya, etc.). None of the places we're involved are better off than when he took office - this is not true of the state of things when he did take office. For example, casualties in Iraq were so low that american deaths were in line with accidental deaths on base in the US and violence civilian deaths were about the same as California. Russia simply shows its DUE respect for our current leadership. That's a fact.
It does not matter if it was the truth or not. You do not do that in that position. Any competent manager would tell you so. Your goal is to get both sides to work together in harmony. Not to point fingers and put blame out there. People at work that point fingers and try to blame people are morons. The goal is to accomplish what beeds to be done. Blaming people does absolutely nothing to accomplish that.
We've had this conversation and what's silly is your use of the word surrender.....you don't understand it...let's start there. We haven't surrendered anywhere under this administration ...Clinton did not have to work with John Boehner.....but with your silly spin, all those GOP good ole boys are victims of Democratic presidents
