Obama’s inactivity purposefully betrays America’s allies with the intent of alienating them.
“Russia pushes deep into eastern Ukraine. The Islamic State burns to death a Jordanian pilot. Iran extends its hegemony over four Arab capitals — Beirut, Damascus, Baghdad and now Sanaa.
And America watches. Obama calls the policy “strategic patience.” That’s a synonym for “inaction,” made to sound profoundly “strategic.”
Take Russia. The only news out of Obama’s one-hour news conference with Angela Merkel this week was that he still can’t make up his mind whether to supply Ukraine with defensive weapons. The Russians have sent in T-80 tanks and Grad rocket launchers. We’ve sent in humanitarian aid that includes blankets, MREs and psychological counselors.
How complementary: The counselors do grief therapy for those on the receiving end of the T-80 tank fire. “I think the Ukrainian people can feel confident that we have stood by them,” said Obama at the news conference.
Indeed. And don’t forget the blankets. America was once the arsenal of democracy, notes Elliot Abrams. We are now its linen closet.”
Obama may seem ineffective, or perhaps indecisive. But I suggest his inactivity is well thought out. He doesn’t want to stop Russia or Iran from greater hegemony, leaving America a smaller slice of the global pie. Obama thinks America deserves a smaller piece and is making sure we get it. He will redistribute wealth and power from rich to poor, West to East and North to South, like no other Marxist before him. And much, much worse.
