War

Americans don't want another war.

"That an Iraqi army we equipped and trained at a cost of tens of billions would disintegrate and desert Iraq’s second city, Mosul, when confronted by a few thousand fanatics, was a debacle.
Why should Americans have to recapture Mosul for Baghdad?
And why do these “democrats” we install in power seem to perform so poorly?"

Rhetorical question.

Obama's wants Republicans to pass a new AUMF so they can share the responsibility for his failing war. If Republicans hadn't won the Senate, he wouldn't have pushed for this.

Claim that Putin is the winner of the Ukrainian cease-fire deal.

"President Putin proposed the solution over a year ago: autonomy in a federal state and the right to speak Russian for eastern Ukraine. Most important, Ukraine would never join NATO. Doing so would have put Russia’s vital naval base at Sevastopol under NATO control – as unthinkable for Moscow as for the US to see Norfolk, Virginia, or Houston under Russian or Chinese control.
Ukraine’s fierce nationalists and their US backers rejected Putin’s plan and set about trying to impose Kiev’s total control by military force.
It’s ironic that the US has given total support to Kiev’s war against what it calls “rebels” and “terrorists” while arming and financing Syria’s Sunni rebels whom Damascus brands “rebels” and “terrorists.”"

I doubt warmonger Obama will abide by this deal.

"A peace deal comes not an hour too soon. A full battalion of US Army troops is scheduled to arrive in western Ukraine to “train” government troops and lead them into battle. This hare-brained scheme has a potential clash with Russia written all over it."

Hopefully it will at least slow things like this down.

"Imagine if Russian troops arrived outside Montreal to train Canadian forces. The US has no strategic interests in Ukraine, which was part of the Soviet Union/Russia until 1991. The whole crazy scheme was promoted by neocons as a way of undermining Russia and pulling Ukraine into their ideological orbit."

The dollar is the US strategic interest everywhere in the world.

"Putin has gotten Crimea back and Ukraine is in confusion. Most important, the march to war in Ukraine between nuclear-armed Russia and the US has been averted. Match to Putin."

Let's hope it holds. Warmonger Obama should give his bogus Nobel Peace Prize to Putin.
