The Obama administration did fuck up the relationship with Russia.
They used that stupid "Reset" button metaphor to indicate that they wanted better relations than - what exactly? Better than the Bush administration? Did they want to reset back to the 1990s - before Putin?
Well, they hit the Rest button so hard, they reset us back to the Cold War. We are arming the rebels and the Russians are arming Assad. So we are on opposites sides of a Middle East war. Good fucking work.
Obama learned nothing from Bush's mistakes or his own mistakes in Libya, which is also turning to shit.
How long before our weapons get used against us in some jihadi attack? How long before they are used against Israel?
