Last May I posted the following reply which I think has been borne out by events. Since then we have the spectacle of Obama caving in utterly to Russia. We have him pulling the missiles from Poland and the Czech Republic signaling to the Baltics and indeed to the rest of Eastern Europe that America is no longer there for them. Domestically, Obama has throttled all domestic carbon-based nuclear sources of energy leaving us even more vulnerable to the Russia-Venezuela axis. I believe that in addition to caving to Vladimir Putin on the issue of missiles, Obama gave him a green light in Georgia.

Here is the post:

Things are clearly moving to a head. The Russians are threatening an invasion of the rump of Georgia and there is no reason to believe that Obama has the slightest intention of doing anything about it after the event or to take any steps to prevent the event.

We must see these growing threats as connected. A look at the map of Georgia shows that Russia is moving geographically as well as philosophically toward a connection with Iran. If Russia takes Georgia it will be in possession of virtually all the pipelines running to Europe which supply my neighbors here with gas and Europe with oil and gas. If Iran gets the bomb, the whole of the Middle East will become a nuclear nightmare and a strike somewhere by some crazed country such as Iran or some crazed terrorist group which acquires the bomb, is almost inevitable. One of the victims of this madness will undoubtedly be Israel.

Even if there is no war the entire balance of power in the Persian Gulf will have shifted away from America toward Iran which will have the same effect on the Gulf states as it has on our NATO allies, they will move away from America toward Iran to appease away the immediate threat. The price of oil around the world will Spike and Russia and Venezuela and Muslim states who fund terrorists will be empowered to do mischief everywhere.

It is self evidently in Israel's national interest to strike against Iran and prevent or at least delay them getting the bomb while Iran is under the control of these mad Islamicists. But there is every reason to believe that Obama will not facilitate the strike, rather, he will affirmatively move to stop Israel doing it.

So elections have consequences. We have a Manchurian Marxist in the White House who is going to countenance the separation of Europe from energy sources and the inevitable blackmail of Europe by Russia which will follow. He will countenance the likely breakup of NATO which will be the price to appease Russia and secure energy for Europe. He will passively watch an alliance between Russia and Iran which might well grow to include an alliance with Venezuela and Cuba, all of whom having access to the bomb. His policies will make war in the Middle East almost inevitable. They threaten the very existence of Israel.

The consequences of this election might be very terrible indeed.

The Russians and Chinese don’t only threaten the existence of Israel, they threaten the existence of the United States itself. Having Communist dictatorships appear in Latin America and instability in Mexico is not good for America, and really good for the Red’s and their allies overseas.
