Obama dismisses Russia as ‘regional power’
I am sorry for this remark, made by perhaps one of the two most "arrogant" people we have living in this country today. The other one is in China, helping them improve their education system. If a George Bush or a Ronald Reagan or at least a Republican had made that statement, the ensuing explosion would have been heard around the world, especially in Washington. Why he said it, I will never know.
THE HAGUE
President Obama acknowledged Tuesday that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s annexation of Crimea would be difficult to reverse, but he dismissed Russia as a “regional power” that did not pose a leading security threat to the United States.
Concluding a summit here on nuclear security, Obama also warned that broader Russian military intervention in neighboring countries would trigger further economic sanctions that would disrupt the global economy but hit Russia the hardest.
