It doesn't really matter whether they are strong when the only countervailing force is visibly weaker. While we have military strength the reality is that Obama is too weak to act against Putin. Putin is no fool, he realizes now is the time if ever there is to be one. I don't know what his aspirations are, but whatever they are we will know before Obama's second term is up because he will have brazenly carried them out.

Asked whether he had reassessed former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's assertion that Russia is "America's number one geopolitical foe," Obama called Russia a "regional power that is threatening some of its immediate neighbors -- not out of strength but out of weakness." Obama couldn't have been more wrong if he tried. Russia is indeed acting out of strength. Russia is acting afraid. It has a desperate need to have satellite states that act as a buffer with the rest of the world. Like Obama, I don't see that as strength.
