the world hates and fears zero.....they won't come out and say it....but they do.....there will be sublte consequences....

where we are headed as a world is that many countries will increase their military budgets, tensions will rise....

countries will increase their military budgets because they can not rely on a good USA anymore...the "good" is gone....

WW3 in the making when you have this kind of distrust.....

At least the Indians can see.

On the bright side, Pakistan, fraught with its own internal contradictions, may well come asunder.

It is blindingly clear that Obama has fallen back to the “traditional” US foreign policy approach of the internationalists and rationalist, of maintaining a parity in the Indo-Pak equation.

Rather Nixonian, one might say, RealPolitick overtones, however, the world is not the BiPolar one of Nixon’s time.
In today’s world, Tricky Dick may well have followed the Bush transformation of the India relationship.

It’d be real funny if China plays its India card against America, and abandons Pakistan. Don’t see it, but fun to think about.

Hey, in the meantime, the Italians busted 4 Pakistanis, including a father/son team for procuring phones that the jihadis in Bombay last year used to communicate with their Pakistani Army handlers.

Peachy, eh?

Thanks for the information and insight. I knew we could count on you.
