Fox News contributor Allen West is claiming that President Obama is “purposefully creating drama globally” like the recent Malaysia Airlines M17 crash.

In a post on his website headlined, “298 souls on MH17 have paid the price for Obama's 'flexibility,'” West referenced a 2012 video of Obama telling then-Russian President Dmitry Medvedev he would have “flexibility” after his re-election, writing:

Sadly, hundreds of Ukrainians and 298 souls on MH17 have paid the price for the weakness and abject cowardice of Obama's “flexibility.”

And here in America we quibble over a lawsuit against this charlatan.

The blood on Vladimir Putin's hands was poured by Barack Obama who is indirectly responsible, accountable accountable [sic] and no different than Neville Chamberlain's weakness in the face of the 20th Century maniacal dictator Adolf Hitler.

He concluded: “So much for no drama Obama. He is purposefully creating drama globally.” West did not expand on why he thinks Obama is “purposely creating” “drama” like the Malaysia crash.

West is no stranger to outlandish and vitriolic rhetoric, both as a one-term Florida congressman and in his current role as a Fox News analyst.
