In the age of Obama, everyone in Europe and Japan and Korea needs to ask themselves how seriously they can take America's commitment to mutual defense. The Europeans are like little children, they enjoy smirking while taunting and belittling the United States, and making conciliatory gestures towards the Russians. When the United States tired of their barbs, sighed and elected "one of them" as president, they rejoiced and awarded him the Nobel Peace Prize on spec, further tarnishing its hopelessly degraded status.
And now the "nice daddy" dodders around the house as the ceilings leak, watching the NCAA tournament or jetting off on a golf junket financed by a loan on the kids' future, the place in shambles, but with that Nobel plaque hanging from the wall, and the Russians rattle their nuclear swords, savages dance in the Middle East and Japan and Korea look on in apprehension.
Thank you...good post.
I will say that this has much more to do than America’s “commitment” to mutual defense... It’s sure looking like we’ve become a nation whose entire foreign policy is regime change.... advancing so called “US interests” which is code for Global Economic Warfare in one form or another with Obama admitting he’s using a strong arm on our allies to do what he wants when they don’t want to.
I was reading some of the Atlantic Council work as well as recent meetings in Brussels....here’s just one commit made among the “elites” there discussing trade:
“TTIP is last (best) chance for U.S./Europe ‘to control’ global commanding heights”. ....Joe Quinlan
Yet the military is still operating and moving forces and materials forward in Europe.
NATO and the United States will fight to defend NATO, it is the worst kind of enemy propaganda to try and assist the enemy by pretending differently.
