Except the Mythbusters proved that a bull in a china shop doesn’t actually knock anything over.
So there!
You know, if you think about it, isn’t this pretty much what we say about the Obama administration?
As for their analysts, I too scratch my head and wonder what the hell?
Look, in the past I would have read this sort of commentary and laughed it off. Today, you can’t laugh it off. It’s dead on target and we all know it.
Times sure have changed. Suspect more Americans would find themselves agreeing with the Russian Foreign Minister than John Kerry, Obama’s Secretary of State.
What a mess.
Read “Grand Strategy of the Byzantine Empire”, it parallels with current US situation. When the West Roman Empire fell, the surviving Eastern Empire was stuck with less manpower, financially strap and unable to fight sustain wars. US today is in similar straits. Saddled with debt and unable to afford long costly wars. But like the East Romnans, the enemies do not go away. Islam is hellbent on destroying the US. After Afghanistan and Iraq the US population cannot politically stomach another Bush style Gulf War/nation building. The only thing left is cause the Muslims to fight amongst themselves. That is what the East Romans did. War emphasize usage of good intel to be highly aware of enemy intentions and actions, usage of dirty tricks (Spec Ops and CIA) to cause fights amongst the various enemies and factions within. The military is used for quick and decisive strikes because long campaigns can no longer be afforded financially. That is how the East Romans survive another 700 years after the fall of Western Rome. The US may be in the same situation due to our financial debts.
Just food for thought, I have nothing to back up that notion other than wondering how long other nations are going to put up with our crap.
It's looted the American treasure and laid tens of thousands of Americans to waste...
When we should have been developing "Fortress America" we instead turned it into "Flophouse America" were even foreign terrorist and their families are collecting welfare...
While betrayers in government spy on law abiding Americans, for fear of terrorist, our borders are left wide open. Instead of creating solid economy for our people, they borrow trillions from the Communist while exporting tens of thousands of our jobs...
It has reached a point where nearly every single problem facing America, was created and caused by those in government.
Ah yes, the Russians have a much better history, like Afghanistan.
It’s spot on!
Whatever in the hell possessed our idiot leaders to foment unrest and worse, go against American ideals such as “The Prime Directive”????
We are a nation of peace, seeking to help others whenever and wherever, under just about any circumstance and sometimes with odds that would impair any other nation, any other people.
To be sure, this cluster muck was started under Bush and by any measure is a demonstrable, unmitigated, disaster.
Assad, Ghaddahfi, Mubarack and a few other tin pot dictators, in that oart if the world were/are evil. But, and there really ought to be a more oerfect word than “but” to preface the very real peace and order they kept in their fiefdom’s.
This isn’t dating where you leave a bad relationship if only to stop the pain, then start another abusive relationship. That, however, is just what we’ve done.
The Obama team has never been content to simply make an error and determine a better course of action.
No, these guys are collosal screw ups suffering from poverty of intellect and morally bankrupt.
The horror for America, the world and sadly the people whose lives and plans are now daily upended and one wonders if they will ever gain a foothold on the precipace of peace so they can get a tempo going that enables them to be productive citizens and have enduring relatiinships with all mankind.
Not in this generation.
The Obama Administration has FUBAR’d that part of the world and delivered a huge Shiite sandwich....
We are all going to be forced to take a bite and swallow.
Why?
Looks like Obama’s post-election “flexibility” didn’t buy a whole lot from the Russians.
The author is correct, sad to say.
Diplomacy goes on as it always has, with churlish name calling, posturing, feints, thrusts and parries, all of which have meaning to the experienced eye. Our president, however, and the gaggle of fools he chooses to surround himself with, stand wide-eyed, confused and mystified. Children living in a fantasy world, they fumble to find meaning in a reality they stubbornly refuse to accept. The emperor is not only unclothed, he’s clueless beyond comprehension.
