It is no doubt that Obama is a traditional liberal pacifist on steroids that thinks he can transfer his intellectual prowess to others by mental telepathy or fancy words and convince them war is not the answer. And if this fails, we can use non war tactics such as sanctions or war by proxy. Their goal use money for the state to suckle the little piggy peon citizens they conto in utopia. Our enemies are neanderthals that don't want to be controlled by secular heathens. More action instead of trying a rent a army strategy would have pinned ISWS in. Russia would not be trying to feel the void created by Obama's retreat. Peace through strength or walk softly but carry a big stick has been replaced by whizz yourself, crawl in a hole, and throw marshmallows at the enemy.
