Obama's payback for sucking up to Vladimir Putin

Russian nuke subs in his backyard:
A Russian nuclear-powered attack submarine armed with long-range cruise missiles operated undetected in the Gulf of Mexico for several weeks ...
... The stealth underwater incursion in the Gulf took place at the same time Russian strategic bombers made incursions into restricted U.S. airspace near Alaska and California in June and July ...
... the vessel was a nuclear-powered Akula-class attack submarine, one of Russia’s quietest submarines. ...
“The Akula was built for one reason and one reason only: To kill U.S. Navy ballistic missile submarines and their crews,” said a second U.S. official.
... Instead of closer ties, Russia under President Vladimir Putin, an ex-KGB intelligence officer who has said he wants to restore elements of Russia’s Soviet communist past, has adopted growing hardline policies against the United States. ...
Good job, comrade Obama!

There are some leaders who will use every gesture of good will to their advantage.

And there are other leaders who are dumb enough not to understand that.
