As President Barack Obama’s continued lack of leadership puts America’s national security in peril, LIGNET, Newsmax’s intelligence and forecasting online service, has issued a new global forecast.
The Russian annexation of Crimea and mass troop movements by Moscow must be viewed as a major game changer in international norms. The last time an invasion of this magnitude occurred was when Saddam Hussein annexed Kuwait in 1990 to make it Iraq’s 19th province.
With U.S. strength and leadership, Russia’s recent actions could have been prevented or at least mitigated. It may be too late for Crimea, but the United States cannot allow the contagion to spread.
The difference between Russia and the West right now is that Russia has a strategy that it is willing to follow, while the West is hoping the problem disappears.
In this geopolitical chess match, the Russian is outmaneuvering the American at every turn.
The bottom line is that Vladimir Putin’s ground troops are the least of America’s worries. The Russian president’s financial moves are what affect us all. And he’s running circles around Barack Obama where it will hurt Americans the most — from forging relationships with China and India, to his accumulation of gold, oil and other strategic resources.
