Jeanine Pirro: The American "Superpower" Is Dead

by JASmius

Much as I like her "opening statements," I've gotta depart from the judge on this one.  If Barack Obama is trying to be anything vis-a-vie the Russian invasion of Ukraine, it sure as hell isn't "the world's cop," and still less "the king of the world".  Yes, he is the dictator of America, but he has no dreams of world conquest; quite the reverse, in fact.  He wants to demolish the U.S. as a power of any sort, much less a "superpower," because he believes we're the cause of all the world's problems - global poverty the fault of American prosperity, global strife and conflict the fault of American military superiority, etc.  And guess what?  He's pretty much accomplished that.

O is, in other words, doing Putin a favor by putting on this pathetic display of humiliating weakness.  Or does Ms. Pirro really believe that The One thinks Putin cares what his standing with the "international community" is?  What does "standing with the international community" matter when you can send your military rolling into any country you want with impunity, safe in the knowledge that you have a friend and ally in the White House who will never lift a finger to stand in your way.

Even if Pirro's take on this was correct, the result for Putin - and us - would be effectively identical.  That Red Barry is doing it deliberately rather than via "over his head" bumbling is what moves this sorry situation from "deeply concerning" to outright terrifying.
