President Obama is in Tallinn today, meeting with the leaders of the Baltic states. His visit is designed to reassure the commitment of the USA to NATO, the European Defense Pact put together during the Cold War to thwart the challenges from Russia and the eastern bloc countries of Europe forcibly gripped by Stalin after the cessation of hostilities at the end of WW II.
After meeting in Tallinn, Pres. Obama will fly over to Wales in the UK for more meetings with NATO leaders to discuss current events in Ukraine and to reassure those member states, that despite caution on the part of the USA, the country is committed to our pact with Europe. Recently, Pres. Obama has taken some heat over statements regarding our reactions to ISIS in the Middle East and Ukraine. Mr. Putin seems to think that a replay of Hitler's tactics prior to WW II will play well in 2014. Obama thinks not.
More will come out as discussions continue and activities on the ground develop hour by hour. Late news from ISIS indicates they may have murdered another journalist held in captivity. What does this say to the world about ISIS? It says succinctly that they are not worthy to be among members of the human race.
