You know it took about 46 years to win the cold war. And it looks like president Obama is doing his best to undo that win:

A Russian Air Force chief said Saturday that Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has offered an island as a temporary base for strategic Russian bombers, the Interfax news agency reported.

The chief of staff of Russia’s long range aviation, Maj. Gen. Anatoly Zhikharev, also said Cuba could be used to base the aircraft, Interfax reported.

Lets see kicked out of Kyrgyzstan, pulling out the missile defense that Poland still wants and now here come bombers once again on the doorstep. Hotair nails it:

Recall that Barack Obama ran in part on a campaign to “restore diplomacy” in foreign relations. Hillary Clinton made a big show of bringing a “reset button” to her first meeting with her Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov, in which the button was labeled incorrectly and not spelled in Cyrillic. This followed her bumbling show at the EU, making it clear to the Russians that our foreign service was in complete disarray, run by imcompetents.

Can you imagine Russia trying this with George Bush? For that matter, can you imagine Bush losing Kyrgyzstan — and a vital military route — to Putin? Russia is doing this now because Putin and Medvedev understand that they can get away with it.

Do you think the middle east et/al is noticing who the strong horse and how the weak horse is. And just think we have another 46 months of this.

Update: Don Surber nails it:

President Obama’s overtures to Russia and Cuba have been answered.

They think he is a lightweight.

Read his whole post, I agree with every word except for “think”.

Update 2: Stop the ACLU has a roundup.
