Two weeks ago, the White House issued “a stern warning” to Russia not to intervene militarily in Syria’s civil war.

A week later, President Obama condemned Russia for sending weapons and troops to Syria as “a move doomed to failure.”

Yesterday, the White House reversed two weeks’ worth of policy and  reached out to Russia with an offer to cooperate on Syria. The efforts to help anti-Assad rebels were scrapped in favor of propping up Assad with Russia’s help.

For several years, Russia has been demanding that the US drop its opposition to dictator Assad. Today, the US is begging Putin to help out with putting in place what has been Russia’s plan all along.

It is, of course, an absolute mystery why Russians openly and viciously ridicule Obama and call him, among many very racist things, weak.

P.S. Also, please observe how Obama’s foreign policy is identical to that exposed by Donald Trump during the debate on Wednesday. “I’m confident I can have a good working relationship with Putin. I have no idea how but I know I can. I just know if I talk to him, all will be fine.” Identical.
