And puts the world in danger:
So one wonders—as Putin embraces Chavez and Karzai plays host to Ahmadinejad; as Russia asserts the right to repudiate any nuclear-arms reduction treaty and China gives us the bird on the yuan; as the alliance with India languishes and the one with Britain experiences unprecedented atrophy; as Israel expresses acrid disagreement with us and Japan seeks to rip pages out of its postwar rulebook—what all the pragmatism has really, truly accomplished…
…other than give our delighted adversaries a free pass and our friends a very rude wakeup call.
And, indeed, one does wonder – but not too much. This is just the way Obama was educated to view the world. This is liberal education over the past 25 years or so put in to practice. Obama likely really believes the stories – perhaps believes such things as the reason Iran is hostile is because we supposedly helped conduct a coup in the 1950’s, that Moslems hate us because we’re partial to Israel, and so forth. If you believe that American actions are a source – or, possibly, the source – of global conflict, then pretty much doing the opposite should reduce – or eliminate – conflict.
That it is all mind-bogglingly stupid and not based on a shred of fact is neither here nor there – Obama was taught it by people who asserted it stoutly, who had the apparent credentials to make such statements and, of course, made such statements without any dissenting views being allowed any where near. Obama’s mental view of the world is a product of a hot-house climate of liberalism.
So, what to do? Hunker down and wait for a new President – it is all we can do. Obama will continue to weaken the United States all through his Presidency and we’ll be at increasing risk of war until the day he leaves office. And let’s pray war isn’t thrust upon us while Obama is in office because he’d probably be worse than useless at that, too, as in all his education, there probably wasn’t even a moment when he considered military policy.
Long, rough few years ahead.
