You are getting your wish. The US is weak and powerless in the world, and we sit on our duffs while events spin out of control on the international stage. We will not escape the coming brushfire that is now lit. It will affect our markets, our energy prices, our dollar! and our economy. Perhaps even more.
Soon, Obamerica will not be able to defend itself.

Yes. I hate even seeing images of him. The thought that this is the “leader” of any country is ludicrous, but ours? It’s an obscenity.
“We got the world through the Cold War. We don’t owe anybody a thing.”
Until the next cold war, which just began. Staying out of alliances and foreign entanglements may work in the short run, but seldom in the long run, hence WWI and WWII, the Korean War, Desert Storm, Iraq 2, Afghanistan. You don’t take care of business in the short term, you’ll just have to take care of business in the long term. Which usually means a war. Iran will be the next example of just that. Obama is doing nothing now, and is preventing Israel from taking care of business. Thus, in the long term (and it’s not going to be very long) Iran will have nuclear weapons and the world will rue the day. Pennywise and pound foolish.
“They have something in common: they’re both men.”
Even that is subject to debate. See picture of Obama throwing a baseball. At best he is a metrosexual.
"They" refers to Putin and Bibi. :)

Right you are. Read it wrong. Need to put my specs on. Obama is still a metrosexual at best though. Ugh, he makes my skin crawl.
I hear you. He makes me nauseous.
We have no treaties obligating us to defend Israel, nor should we. President Eisenhower did informally obligate the US to maintain Israel’s access to the Red Sea in return for returning the Sinai to Egypt. But when the time came to meet that obligation early in 1967, LBJ blinked, and war came a few months later. We do have a treaty obligation to defend the borders of the Ukraine, we won’t, imo making this a rather stupid time for Obama to be bringing this up. I doubt anyone trusts America under Obama.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Defending Israel falls to Israel. We aren't obligated, and wouldn't if we were. A stupid thing for Obama to bring up, he's not going to intimidate Bibi any more than Putin. Or most any other world leader. Related threads
Obama: US won't be able to defend Israel if peace talks fail
I wonder where he thinks he is going to be safe from America’s angry reprisals after he leaves or is forced to leave the Pretendancy.
The only people they are willing to go to war to defend are their Muslim Brotherhood buddies. They'll do that at every opportunity.
They look like they’re having a contest of who can hold their breath longer.
Kerry tells Israel “It’s not me, it’s YOU...” Doofus!

Gosharooti! I forgot to ask that he defend us. Somehow, the thought just never crossed my mind. So now he won’t defend us? What a relief.
“If you see no peace deal and continued aggressive settlement construction...then our ability to manage the international fallout is going to be limited,” Obama said.
Ahmed! You’re fired! We can’t let you feed your family by working at our construction site. That’s endangering piece and isolating us internationally. Go get another job.
