| Summary/Abstract |
THIS ARTICLE is a logical continuation of my previous essay, "Barack Obama: Preliminary Results of Presidency"1 that I ended with: "Obama has several months to go down to history not as the president of numerous conflicts and the state of international relations close to the Cold War but as the president who gave the world a slim hope of positive changes." Today, we can say that he has missed his chance to be remembered as a peacemaker and a realistically minded president who knew how to defuse international tension rather than fan it to worldwide dimensions. Indeed, he did all he could to leave behind a wasteland of American-Russian relations and not the slightest hope of positive changes any time soon.
