Re: Obama's foreign policy incompetence? But what actually worked?
the only results so far is Russia occupying a foreign nation!
well, technically Russia is providing protection to a newly-independent country from its aggressive neighbour. Just like the US/Nato did with Kosovo-Serbia.
The situation in Iraq, now that would be occupying a foreign nation!

Re: Obama's foreign policy incompetence? But what actually worked?
US/NATO in the Kosovo war only used strategic bombing and air attacks against targets in Yugoslavia.
huh? I take it you're talking about the 1999 bombings of Serbia in response to the Kosovan ethnic conflict. I'm talking about this year's Kosovo declaration of independence.
Kosovo was not occupied until the Yugoslavian forces retreated back into Serbia.
Kosovo was not occupied. It declared its independence from Serbia and the US/Nato said they will protect it if it's attacked by Serbia (and they did). South Ossetia also declared indepedence from Georgia and Russia said it will protect it if attacked. And it did!
Why the double standards?
