    President Obama has thus far responded tepidly to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, targeting only several individuals in Russia for sanctions and providing Ukraine with rations as opposed to the arms it requested. Because of Obama’s rhetoric and policy, Charles Krauthammer said the president is being “ridiculed by Russians.”

    “If he thinks that sanctioning seven Russians out of a population of, what, 150 million is a sanction, he’s living in a different world,” Krauthammer said. Instead we should be sending Ukraine weapons, something the administration denied because it thinks “somehow to arm the victim of aggression is a provocation,” Krauthammer explained.

    The idea that such small, targeted sanctions will work is “preposterous,” Krauthammer said. “This really is a humiliating response by a president who can’t even get the Europeans to join him in effective sanctions.”

    To be fair to Obama most people struggle to do their very first job well.

    Yes, but most people don't get their first job at age 47.

    The Russians are not the only ones laughing at the USA.

    There's no need to fear, Underdog is here!

    Obama's secret weapon: We've sent Joe Biden over to reassure our allies that we have things under control.

    Shortest distance from point A to point proven: one post.
