Why we have a Russian mess—President Obama

“Russia doesn't make anything. Immigrants aren't rushing to Moscow in search of opportunity. The life expectancy of the Russian male is around 60 years old. The population is shrinking. And so we have to respond with resolve in what are effectively regional challenges that Russia presents.” President Barack Obama, August 2014.

He was wrong on all three; what else didn’t he know about Russia? Combine this with what he said in 2012 to Romney, and what he whispered to the Russian president Medvedev off mic, and you can see what a loser we elected. In his defense, he probably didn’t know anything about Russia and was repeating what his advisors had told him.
