It is impossible for the most Pro-Obama supporter to deny
that his foreign policy is in shambles, and that under Obama’s “leadership” the
U.S. government’s word is meaningless in both the eyes of our sworn enemies AND
our allies – and more importantly the world is a much more dangerous place.
The grand Obama foreign policy vision of “re-setting” our
relations with Russia is a disaster. He threw Egypt’s Mubarak under the bus for
the Muslim Brotherhood, which ended up with Egypt in the Russian camp. The Russian invasion of Ukraine has made the
USA’s word in the EU/Russian/USA/Ukrainian treaty that guaranteed Ukraine’s
sovereignty worthless (in exchange for Ukraine destroying their nuclear
capability). NATO is crumbling under the weight of the pressure Russia is
putting on the Baltic states, and Obama thinks Israel should negotiate a peace
treaty with a USA backed puppet “Palestinian leader” who is not even elected by
his own people in the West bank, much less Gaza or the diaspora – and that
Israel should accept Obama’s security guarantees.
The USA is fatigued from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, but
whether we like it or not, the USA has a responsibility to maintain the global
leadership role that Obama has publicly surrendered to the forces that are now causing
havoc. We don’t have to be the policemen for the world, but we can provide
unwavering financial, logistical and military support to our allies who are on
the front lines. While there is much to critique about his domestic policies,
the gaping void of global leadership under his tutelage will have negative
consequences for the USA and our allies – IF WE HAVE ANY LEFT - for the next
100 years.
