Of course, the main people who pay the price for this are the ones whose lives Obama's team snuffed out, and who were crippled by it, and whose homes were destroyed by it. Western taxpayers and beneficiaries of government services won't suffer nearly that much. And the West's aristocrats are doing everything they can to weaken Russia's economy, in order to win the bigger renewed Cold War, which Obama's coup in Ukraine restarted. The owners of U.S. armaments-firms are especially booming as a result of Obama's Ukraine-gambit.
Russia, for its part, is doing all it can to respond to Obama's challenge of a renewed Cold War. They're trying to turn into Russian lemonade, the pile of lemons that Obama has left them.
In a sense, then (and highly simplified): World War II created American dominance; the Vietnam War wasted American dominance; and the G.W. Bush-Obama wars might turn out to have ended American dominance. It's especially worth noting, in this context, that whereas WWII was fought against nazis, Obama's Ukrainian war installed nazis. America thus might have come full-circle with Ukraine, and become what in WWII had been our nemesis.
But Obama, fortunately, isn't going all-out, like Hitler did. Obama quickly backed off. But then, he started bombing Iraq and Syria. Things aren't looking good.
Obama, in his actions not his words, continues the George W. Bush tradition.
