Putin Learns The Price of Underestimating Obama
Everyone underestimated him in 2008.
The Republicans figured they had the ACA beat in 2009, only to see it pass, to their impotent fury, in 2010.
Now Putin is finding out the hard way what it means to underestimate Obama.
Europe scrambles to break gas dependence on Russia, offers Ukraine military tie
Visa and Mastercard halted transactions for Rossiya bank. Mr Putin said defiantly that he would make sure his salary was transferred to a new account at Rossiya “first thing Monday morningâ€.
They also cut off SMP bank, co-owned by Mr Putin’s judo partner Arkady Rotenberg, though the bank itself was not named – evidence that US firms will not take any risks with US regulators...
Tim Ash, from Standard Bank, said Washington is determined to make Mr Putin pay for changing Europe’s borders by force, and will ratchet up “stealth sanctions†by regulatory muscle. “Foreign companies will have to be very careful who their partners in Russia are,†he said.
American agencies will probe deeper into the origin of funds, using money-laundering codes to tighten the noose. Mr Ash said the US will step up sanctions even if there is no direct Russian incursion into mainland Ukraine. Any attempt to destabilise the Ukrainian government will be punished. “The Kremlin has misread the Americans badly,†he said.

49. Wow, one bank can't use Visa or Mastercard
OP reads like parody. I'm sure Putin is begging to give back Crimea so that the customers at one bank can use their Mastercards again.

I think if the DUmmies had any inkling of what Putin and his cronies say about 0loser in private, they would gladly
push the button to send every nuke we have.

Obama is a master at playing 24 dimension chess. Unfortunately, Putin is too busy annexing Ukraine to sit down and play.
-
I have seen the media here try to make this sound like something crippling (the word used in one headline) but it is nothing more then a strongly worded letter.
Something tells me Vlad and his cronies are not going to be signing up at the DUmp to beg for money so they can stay in their houses.

Wanna know what's going to happen? Read the WSJ. There's too many big American corps invested in Russia for Dear Leader to pull the plug. Putin has the little dimwit by the shorthairs.

58. And will this make the national news?
Ah, no because the PTB have sold the meme that President Obama is
weak and Putin is strong. Please remember that Obama finished top
of his class @ Harvard Law School and has surrounded himself w/ smart
men and women many of whom hold views that do not go along w/ the
President.
BTW Russia has spent billions in building an infrastructure to get natural
gas to western Europe and if "they" tell Putin that they don't need his gas
then Russia is in a world of hurt.
God is it nice to have a smart President.
Barry went to college…Putin ain't going to know what hit him, his goose is cooked.

Botany in not a good user name for that primitive. I know plants that are smarter.

Europe is not buying Russian gas?
I missed this story.

Obama and company don't know how to play this game. Putin has already threatened that if we do anything that hurts their economy that they will destroy ours.
Anyone up for cyber-warfare?

You wouldn't mind posting some proof of that, would you?

The price is getting Crimea and the Ukraine with not a single shot fired.
Losing Crimea and the Ukraine is a sign of super genius in the SMART Power!!!111111111!!!!elebinty of Obama and his merry band of idiots (past & present Hillary) of withdrawing the USA as the world's super power. Libya loves what "leading from behind" means. Ukrainians are going to know it pretty soon.
Is there any doubt why we have not seen King Barky's college transcripts? At beat I think Obama has a low 80s IQ. The world will hate our affirmative action program within four years.....if they haven't already.

Yeah, old customer, 500 million person EU. New customer, 1.3 billion person China. We sure showed him!!!! Oh, and Obama is doing everything he can to prevent fracking and the pipeline. Sucks to be a European these days. Both China and Russia pose a global, financial threat to the United States. Mitt knew this. Obama doesn't know dick. Aside from campaigning, he's never known a damn thing. He's an affirmative action retard that won a popularity contest.
Your Dear Leader is a *****, lurking DUmbasses.

True.
It's a fairly recent development that they get accepted for use in budgeting and economic analysis, but yes; they've been around a while.

Putin Learns The Price of Underestimating Obama
yeah, obama sure schooled Putin this time...
Putin orders fireworks over Moscow as he laughs off US sanctions (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/russia/10715440/Putin-orders-fireworks-over-Moscow-as-he-laughs-off-US-sanctions.html)

Putin's approval numbers are twice what Obama's are and Putin doesn't have the propaganda machine Obama has.
-
As much as I dislike the man, we have all seen this shit coming since he never really left his Presidential office... even though he was "barred" from ever being President again. I would love to see a chess game, judo match, or even a spelling bee with him and Obama. I could probably put my house up as a bet that Putin would win any of them.
-

Putin also has these things called 'testicles.'

Obama just openly dissed Putin this morning during a press conference. Russia is just a regional power and Putin is acting out of weakness.
Is this assclown deliberately trying to goad Putin into making even bolder moves?

Seems like he's trying to talk tough, even though everyone knows he'll fold like a lawn chair if Putin calls his bluff. I'm sure the alphabet networks and CNN will take it seriously, while everyone else in the world tries to suppress their snickers and snappy one-liners.

I really want to know what Obama's callsign at the DUmp is. He is just as bad at projection as any other DUmp Monkey on Skin's Island.

Obama thinks he can use his community organizer tactics on someone trained by the KGB.

I'd bet the mortgage that Glorious Leader doesn't have a ****ing clue who set up the fifth column community organizer groups here in the Motherland. (Hint: without KGB funding, they'd have gone broke and slithered away stage left, before their first year was through. :thatsright: )

According to a KGB defector;
According to my opinion, and the opinions of many defectors of my caliber, only about 15% of time, money, and manpower is spent on espionage as such. The other 85% is a slow process which we call either ideological subversion, active measures, or psychological warfare. What it basically means is: to change the perception of reality of every American that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.
