As the European Union waivers on punishing Putin because of economic fears, it appears Mitt Romney and Sarah Palin are getting the last laugh on the Ukraine crisis. This is what happens when you attempt to apply feel-good, college ideology to the real world. Unfortunately, the signature indecision and  almost unapologetic miscues of this administration, are having very real consequences for the entire world.

Meanwhile, Comrade Putin continues to tighten the screws in Crimea, knowing full well he’s played his cards to a very strong hand. He’s exploited the intense “nationalistic pride” of the Russian people, while simultaneously using the inexperience and weakness of his “geopolitical foes“, Barack Obama and John “reporting for duty” Kerry, to his full advantage. Putin has also calculated accurately, the economic ramifications weighing heavily on the minds of the European Union folks, which will make it much easier for them to thwart any meaningful sanctions going forward.

Every time I think our frail economic condition will be the torpedo that finally sinks our misguided presidents legacy, I am reminded of my prediction back in September of 2012, that it would be “Benghazi”, and the Obama Administration’s ineptitude in terms of foreign policy, that would ultimately write the Obama page into history.
