Middle East likely to pay price for Obama's antics at G20 summit

Obama was clearly eager to strut on the world stage while leaving real problems to his successor. He took empty, reckless public postures, picking fights with both Russia and China when the United States is seriously committed in the fight against the Islamic State and to preserving the unity of Iraq. It is also walking a tight­rope between its old Turkish and new Kurdish allies.

Obama in his seven-and-a-half years as president has never shown the slightest interest in history or military strategy — and it shows.

Weak men bluster and bluff, then imagine they are strong. That is what Obama did at the Group of 20 meeting.

Where he saw himself as a proud man standing tall on the world stage, others saw a blustering pho­ny, who boasts of a Nobel Peace Prize he never deserved, never earned.

From the link:

Where he saw himself as a proud man standing tall on the world stage, others saw a blustering pho­ny, who boasts of a Nobel Peace Prize he never deserved, never earned.

Obama stood up — in his own imagination — to Russia and China. In reality, he just plunged ahead on a course toward U.S. eco­nomic collapse through an endless clash with China.

Even worse, he took another step on the road toward thermo­nuclear confrontation and world war with Russia.

Obama's conduct in Hangzhou will not be scrutinized or even criticized by the worshipful U.S. media but it plunges the United States and the American people far further down the road towards global war and existential crisis under his successor.

I know, I already posted that in the forums. Our once ally is dumping us for China. Chalk another loss up for team Obama. Between Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Libya and North Korea Obama is sure leaving a horrible legacy.
