the term "red line" is associated pretty much exclusively with Obama

there are tons of synonyms that the media could use. why use the one completely associated with Obama?

Christ on a cracker, you're still going on about this? Let me attempt an answer. Could it be recent memory of the folly of making questionable ultimatums summed up in a two word term? Obama chose not to back his up. @real can't make good on his, and his line has already been crossed. What now?

I think what I find most amusing about this thread is that @realists frequently respond to criticism by giving some variant of "but Obama/Clinton/whoever did such and such!" I remember calling that out here a couple of weeks ago:

the media proliferated this narrative before giving Trump time to even possibly respond

i criticize all politicians on the same scale

if Obama makes the same mistake that Trump does, then i don't hold back. Obama's foreign policy had one major positive (normalizing relations with Cuba) and i attacked Trump for attacking that single FP positive

i did not support Trump's attacks on Syria

i'm not a Trumpkin. the media has become so unhinged and biased that i'm forced to defend him in the name of reality, though
