Greetings, and welcome to the World Affairs Board!
The World Affairs Board is the premier forum for the discussion of the pressing geopolitical issues of our time. Topics include military and defense developments, international terrorism, insurgency & COIN doctrine, international security and policing, weapons proliferation, and military technological development.
Our membership includes many from military, defense, academic, and government backgrounds with expert knowledge on a wide range of topics. Registration is fast, simple and absolutely free so why not register a World Affairs Board account and join our community today?
So you against the OBL hit now? You think they should have got a pass?
You asked what he has done when the allies didn't fall into line. He attacked their sovergnty. Whatever good that came out of chucking that piece of shit into the ocean does not change the fact that Obama didn't give one hoot about his ally. Considering the continued drone attacks inside Pakistan after that, Obama expected and got Pakistan to fall into line.
That is far more adverse than having trade disputes when you can violate your ally's airspace and lands with impunity.

I recall vividly, on this very board, American WABBERS arguing with the Pakistani WABBERs that the OBL hit was in fact legal as US and Pakistan were allies and OBL was recognized as an enemy of both. Therefore
But we were talking about the Brits. What actions, specifically, did Obama take against Britain when the Parliament struck the Syrian Strike proposal down?

You asked two questions:
1) How did Obama expects everyone to fall into line - the Brits answered the question.
2) What did Obama do when they didn't fall into line - the Pakistanis answered that question.

Col,
I asked, very specifically, what Obama did to the Brits when they did not fall in line. Sanctions? Tariff?
If you would like to discuss OBL then I would respectfully refer you to this thread (with a certain Officer of Engineers). Please direct any outrage to Agnostic Muslim and others.

He blamed the Brits for his own failure to strike at Syria. He publically took "the high road" of refusing to strike despite pleas from the Establishment, ignoring the fact that it was he whom in fact screamed "charge" in the first place. Counted in that Establishment are the Brits.
This is the point where he begged Putin to save his ass.

The point here is that Obama didn't give a rat's ass about Pakistani sovergnty. I am not discussing the legality of the strike here. Frankly, at that point, I totally expected the fiction that Pakistan is an ally to be dropped but instead, Obama found it more convient to keep them on a tighter leash.
yet Allied discontent with Trump far surpasses Allied discontent with Obama. the question is what did the US gain from the discontent.
in the OBL case, turning OBL into jelly was a US national security objective that far outweighed the concerns of a putative ally. in this case, it's...ah, not clear whether a squabble over tariffs outweighs the concerns of our far better allies.
There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "My ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."- Isaac Asimov

Yes, Obama the typical liberal bleeding heart SJW chickenshit.
Now that we got that out our system, I would like to come back to my question.
What did Obama do to the Brits (not Pakistanis, Syrians, Canadians, Russians or anybody else) when they did not fall in line? Did he impose sanctions? Did he slap tariffs? Did he vote against UK interests anywhere? Did he send Seal Team Six after the Korgis? What, specifically did he do?

Question has been answered. Just because you do not like the answer does not make the answer any less valid. He blamed the Brits.

Ah, thanks for making that clear. I was expecting something more dramatic and punitive than "He blamed the Brits". In other words, he did nothing apart from issuing some whiny-ass statements.

Every memoir I’ve seen has it exactly the other way around.
Snowden was camped out in the Moscow airport, and Obama asked Putin to send him back. Putin gave him asylum, so Obama cancelled the planned summit meeting. That's the background to the state of tension between the US and Russia.
A month or two later, in August 2013, Assad killed some 1,400 of his own people with chemical weapons. Secretary of State John Kerry said it was time to remove his chemical weapons ability, and perhaps to remove Assad from power. Obama said he had the power and the will to go into Syria and destroy its chemical weapons capability, but that he would ask for congressional approval. That's for the haters who say he was abusing presidential authority.
With a day or two to go, Putin said, wait. Let me deal with this.
Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov got an agreement from Assad to turn over his chemical weapons to Russia, and Obama agreed that would be sufficient.
Since Obama didn’t have a strong coalition behind him, and just about every military adviser said “don’t get into a ground war in the middle east,” he agreed.
And, on September 9, Ann Coulter makes her only deliberately truthful statement about the Obama Administration: “This is just his way of saying we’re not interested in getting into the Syrian civil war.”
The US and China announced new import duties on their own imports, thereby confirming that the protectionist is the stupidest kind of economic criminal.

As I have been saying, the right way to deal with Trump and family is through bribery and corruption. The Western governments need to wake up to this and start offering him prime land deals for his real estate development and/ or kickbacks, all the while massaging his ego. The non western world has already woken up to this. Every other little tinpot dictator is handled this way, why not Trump?
And not that it cannot be done. Little Donny Jr. has already made at least 15 mn from his India trip.

Ah, thanks for making that clear. I was expecting something more dramatic and punitive than "He blamed the Brits". In other words, he did nothing apart from issuing some whiny-ass statements.
He did more than that. He gave Syria to Putin. However, he could not punish the Brits for the very action that he himself was seeking for a way out of his Red Line, Congressional Approval.
Every memoir I’ve seen has it exactly the other way around.
Snowden was camped out in the Moscow airport, and Obama asked Putin to send him back. Putin gave him asylum, so Obama cancelled the planned summit meeting. That's the background to the state of tension between the US and Russia.
A month or two later, in August 2013, Assad killed some 1,400 of his own people with chemical weapons. Secretary of State John Kerry said it was time to remove his chemical weapons ability, and perhaps to remove Assad from power. Obama said he had the power and the will to go into Syria and destroy its chemical weapons capability, but that he would ask for congressional approval. That's for the haters who say he was abusing presidential authority.
His Red Line in the Sand had nothing to do Congress. He didn't seek Congressional Approval for Lybia, bombing ISIL, nor taking out OBL. Congress was his way of chickening out when there was no popular support for his actions.
Really? Putin had no relief despite having a "good relationship" with Trump and Xi just got slapped with $50bil in tarrifs.
You obviously missed the ZTE news, and Putin has Trump batting for him across the board. Also, 300 Russian mercs dead is a cheap deal if Putin can get the entire Western worls in disarray.
