Obama B****-Slapped By Russia, China

Charles Krauthammer has a great article today about all of the results that Obama's apologistic, non-confrontational, bending over backwards diplomatic style have achieved - a world that knows it can abuse Obama any way it wants. Take the example of Russia, after Obama handed it a gift by withdrawing the missile shield plans from Eastern Europe:

Note how thoroughly Clinton was rebuffed. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov declared that "threats, sanctions and threats of pressure" are "counterproductive." Note: It's not just sanctions that are worse than useless, but even the threat of mere pressure.

It gets worse. Having failed to get any movement from the Russians, Clinton herself moved -- to accommodate the Russian position! Sanctions? What sanctions? "We are not at that point yet," she averred. "That is not a conclusion we have reached ... it is our preference that Iran work with the international community."

Amateur hour for U.S. diplomacy.
