Krauthammer: Obama Showed ‘Staggering’ Passivity in Face of Russian Actions

Charles Krauthammer criticized President Obama on Fox tonight for his passivity in the face of what Russia has been doing for months.

He said that reports have shown Russia has been engaging in cyber warfare for over a year “with the Obama administration knowing about this, knowing about all kinds of intrusions by the Russians through others, and the passivity of Barack Obama in the face of this is simply staggering.”

He said Obama didn’t get tougher because he didn’t want to lose influence with Russia in Syria. And he highlighted the atrocities in Aleppo today to drive home how effective that truly was.

Krauthammer concluded that Russia needs to be warned that “they will suffer” if they try this again.
