Obama's Fantasy Foreign Policy
Just a few weeks ago, the American people indicated that they no longer believed that Barack Obama
was respected by other world leaders. Fast-forward to today and the
latest in the crisis unfolding in Ukraine and it's easy to see why
Americans believe this to be the case.
Democrats are immediately coming to the defense of the president. Rep. Chris Van Hollen, for example, wants everyone
to focus their condemnation on Putin, rather than criticizing Barack
Obama. That's all well-and-good, but the fact is that Obama's failed
foreign policy and Russian-reset have allowed for this to occur. Now
that it is happening, we also lack the credibility to stop it, which is
also a failure of Obama.
It is so bad that even the Washington Post is saying that Obama's foreign policy is "based on fantasy." In Sunday's editorial, The Post
writes: "For five years, President Obama has led a foreign policy based
more on how he thinks the world should operate than on reality." It
goes on to set John Kerry straight for his comments that Russian's
invasion of Ukraine is "a 19th century act in the 21st century." Like it
or not, Putin's 19th century actions are really happening in the 21st
century.
Here are some of the latest updates on where things stand with the
situation in Ukraine...more |

Republicans Right On Russia?
There have been a few examples over the last few years of Republicans
warning of the dangers of Russia. These warnings were met with the
condescending criticism of liberals who believed them to be out of
touch. Now who's looking foolish?
During one of the presidential debates in 2012, Mitt Romney warned
that Russia was a geo-political foe and Obama had a catchy comeback
that liberals went gaga over: "The 1980s are now calling to ask for
their foreign policy back because...the cold war's been over for 20
years." Time and time again, Obama has all the fancy rhetoric and catchy
slogans but is completely naïve as to reality. Clearly it was Romney
and not Obama who read the cards right in terms of Russia's true nature
and its capabilities.
Back in the 2008 campaign, Sarah Palin actually warned
of the possibility of Russia invading Ukraine next, in the context of
Russia's invasion of Georgia at the time. Naturally, liberals mocked and
ridiculed her prediction as strange and far-fetched. Now who's foreign
policy predictions are looking far-fetched? |
