Who Says Obama is A Weak Leader

I enjoyed reading this letter to the Straits Times by Prof Tommy Koh, Singapore's Ambassador-at-large.

Prof Koh made a strong argument that US President Obama was not weak, but he was realistic and pragmatic.  I agree with Prof Koh that the Western democratic states have been highly irresponsible in encouraging Ukraine (which is pretty much at Russia's backdoor) to move closer to the West and NATO.

I'm just being pragmatic, ok?

Such moves would give Putin no choice but to do what he did, i.e. annex Crimea.

Well, the world is not a safe and peaceful place, that's for sure.

Happy Investing!
