Russia's bombing of American allies in Syria underlines how much more powerful and provocative Putin is than he was before Obama took office

It has very little to do with Obama. The U.S. has been loosing power for decades, and in the last few years, with the rising power of the B.R.I.C.S, and a terrible recession in the West, the U.S. simply can't maintain it's hedgemony abroad when it's unable to maintain its infrastructure at home.

Schools, roads, water plants and Nuclear plants are crumbling. Regulations are often watered down because improvements would be too costly.
