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.
