The world being in a mess today all stems back from when Bush first got elected.
Bush comes along and takes advice from the neo-cons who want the U.S to rule the world. Suddenly Bush and his cronies promise Russia that a U.N resolution against Iraq would not authorize force and Russia goes along with it, then Bush and his cronies decide to use the resolution as a pretext to attack Iraq, thus thumbing their nose at Russia.
Next Syria blows over, but this time Russia blocks U.N resolution because they were already burned before under Bush and didn't want to get burned again. The U.S then turns around and criticizes Russia for not helping in Syria and mistrust builds even more. When it comes to Ukraine, Russia has figured out that they need to look after their own interests the way that the U.S has been doing, so we have the Ukraine crisis.
The reason there was no intervention in Syria is precisely because Bush burned Russia on Iraq when they accepted a resolution on Iraq that they were assured was not an authorization to use force. This time Russia didn't trust U.S about any resolution so it vetoed everything about Syria so that it could maintain its last ally in the mid-east after Bush had already taken away their Iraqi ally.
Iraq is a mess because of Bush as we all know.
But Libya belongs to Obama because Obama thought he could do a Bush and be successful, hopefully lesson learned.
Lastly, I/P has been going on for decades, BUT lately to me it seems that Israel has gotten even more bold with its crimes whilst Obama is in power, I suspect because they know that Obama would not say anything bad about Israel and risk having the levers of power in the U.S make him a lame duck president for the rest of his second term.
