If not for Obama, the world would have been in WW3 by now

And, sadly, it could still happen... what with the warmongers badgering away at him to hit Syria and Iran and Russia and North Korea or any other country that dares to stand up to the ghoulish bastards.  To these warmongers, there's no other way but war, death and destruction.  Dialogue, commonsense and humanity are devoid from their dictionaries.  When dialogue (as in the case with Iran) and commonsense (as in the case with Syria and the false flag chemical attack fiasco) results in avoiding escalation of hostilities, the ghoulish bastards show their displeasure by targeting the man (Barack Hussein Obama) with all sort of criticism.  This is what our world has come to ... a man is criticized and hated for not giving his okay to go ahead and murder people in their tens of thousands.

Josh Gerstein writing at Politico:
....President Barack Obama made clear Monday that he's fed up with critics who are demanding his administration respond more assertively to crises in places like Syria and Ukraine, but are vague about precisely what form that response should take.

"Typically, criticism of our foreign policy has been directed at the failure to use military force. And the question I think I would have is, why is it that everybody is so eager to use military force after we’ve just gone through a decade of war at enormous costs to our troops and to our budget? And what is it exactly that these critics think would have been accomplished?" Obama said during a press conference with Philippine President Beningno Aquino III. 
Speaking in mid-afternoon in Manila but at 3:40 A.M. back home in Washington, Obama showed some irritation as he responded to Fox News reporter Ed Henry's question about the administration's overarching foreign policy doctrine and about "critics who say they think the doctrine is weakness."

"Frankly, most of the foreign policy commentators that have questioned our policies would go headlong into a bunch of military adventures that the American people had no interest in participating in and would not advance our core security interests," Obama said.

After complaining that he lacked time to mount a full defense of his global foreign policy approach, the president took more than seven minutes to address the criticism. He didn't name any particular critics but may have had in mind both former Bush administration officials and think tank experts, as well as some more hawkish voices on Capitol Hill, such as Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz..) (A spokesman for McCain did not respond to a request for comment.)

"The point is that for some reason many who were proponents of what I consider to be a disastrous decision to go into Iraq haven’t really learned the lesson of the last decade, and they keep on just playing the same note over and over again.  Why?  I don’t know," Obama said. "If there are occasions where targeted, clear actions can be taken that would make a difference, then we should take them.  We don't do them because somebody sitting in an office in Washington or New York think it would look strong.  That's not how we make foreign policy."...........

........The president accused his critics of both opportunism and a kind of intellectual dishonestly over issues like Syria and Ukraine.

"Those who criticize our foreign policy with respect to Syria, they themselves say, 'No, no, no, we don’t mean sending in troops.' Well, what do you mean?  'Well, you should be assisting the opposition.' Well, we’re assisting the opposition.  What else do you mean?  'Well, perhaps you should have taken a strike in Syria to get chemical weapons out of Syria.'  Well, it turns out we’re getting chemical weapons out of Syria without having initiated a strike.  So, what else are you talking about?  And at that point it kind of trails off," Obama declared.

On Ukraine, Obama took a similar tack, fencing verbally with an absent opponent who unsurprisingly lost the match.

"'We shouldn’t be putting troops in,' the critics will say. 'That’s not what we mean.'  Well, okay, what are you saying?  'Well, we should be arming the Ukrainians more.'  Do people actually think that somehow us sending some additional arms into Ukraine could potentially deter the Russian army?  Or are we more likely to deter them by applying the sort of international pressure, diplomatic pressure and economic pressure that we’re applying?" Obama asked.....
