On her Fox News show “Justice,” Judge Jeanine Pirro rips Obama for reducing the U.S. to a paper tiger. While the issue, this time, was his empty threat against Russia intervening militarily in Ukraine, Pirro has long been critical of Obama’s foreign policy blunders.
“Threatening almost everybody and going after just about nobody,” Pirro said, referring to President Obama’s propensity to make threats that he either has no intention or fortitude to back up. Senior Editor of People’s Pundit, Richard D. Baris, fired off a tweet earlier today stating just that.
If President #Obama has no intention of backing his threats, then he should stop making them, b/c people get killed. #Syria #Ukraine #Iran

“His policies are destroying our country, putting Americans in harm’s way, and endangering America’s security,” Judge Jeanine said.
Pirro harshly criticized Obama for injecting himself in a fight via a carelessly assembled press conference, when he notably omitted that aggression toward Ukraine was not in the interest of the U.S, even after mentioning several European powers.
After playing a clip of Obama’s press conference, during which he warned there will be costs following the Russian Parliament unanimously voting to grant Putin’s request for a military intervention in Ukraine, Judge Jeanine railed the president.
“Really, Mr. President what are you going to do?” she asked. “Your red lines become pink lines, which, in the end, make us look completely yellow.”
Last year, President Obama found himself in a complete position of foolishness, weakness and naivety after drawing a “red line” against Syria for the use of chemical weapons. When evidence surfaced, though we never saw it, the president’s weakness prevented him from rallying support at home. He ultimately had no choice but to capitulate to Congress and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
It was an embarrassment, which set us on a path that we are on today, with Putin viewing any White House threat or warning as empty. During his 90-minute phone call with Putin Saturday, Obama said it wasn’t in Russia’s interest to intervene in Ukraine, but Pirro says his ego must be making him delusional.
“Being dictator here at home doesn’t make you king of the world,” she blasted, adding that Obama has enough to do at home without putting himself in someone else’s war he isn’t even willing to fight.
“It’s actually embarrassing. You don’t have a foreign policy and you know it,” she said. “You and hapless Hagel just announced this week you will reduce the size of the military to pre-WWII levels.”
Turning her attention to Defense Sec. Chuck Hagel, Pirro asked “what’s with hapless Hagel? With black al Qaeda flags flying high, with Russia aligned with Syria and Iran, you geniuses decide it’s time to make drastic cuts to the military?”
After providing myriad examples of incoherence in Obama’s so-called foreign policy, slamming everyone from “Hapless Hagel” to “Clueless Clapper,” she reminded everyone that President Obama is supposed to be the guy who won the Nobel Peace Prize.
As Pirro notes at the opening of her monologue, there used to be a time when our presidents did what they said, and the world knew it. Now, under President Obama, a man who never served a day in his life and didn’t even believe his own strategy in Afghanistan, the U.S. has been reduced to a paper tiger.
PeoplesPunditDaily.com reported on a Gallup poll just last week that found Americans no longer believe President Obama is even respected by world leaders, and apparently We the People are right.
“Mr. President, everyone is laughing at us. Mr. Putin certainly is. He knows you’re no Eisenhower, no FDR, and no JFK. He’s a former KGB guy and has all the military credentials he needs,” she said.
“And what might your military credentials be, Mr. Commander-in-Chief?”
