Sounds an awful lot like the Bush Doctrine, don’t it?
I need to find a stronger word than “epic” to describe the depth of fail the Obama Administration has been and is on all matters of foreign policy. I’m going with cataclysmic from now on.
The Obama Administration is a cataclysmic failure on foreign policy matters. Nice.
When did he flush the missile defense program…like two weeks ago?
Since then Iran has told us where we can put our demands and asserted their right to unmitigated nuclear proliferation. Russia has told us, eh, now we ain’t so keen on sanctioning Iran for doing so. They may start drilling 45 miles off the coast of Florida and now they flat out say that the new policy is that they reserve the right to preemptively nuke somebody in “critical national security situations”, whatever the hell that means.
Man oh man, this is definitely the change we’ve been waiting for, suck me sideways.
Given Russia’s actions in the not too distant past, I’m not all that encouraged as to the threshold for what constitutes a “critical national security situation” either. It almost seems like Russia would nuke Ukraine if they threw eggs at their door. That would be a tragedy. Look at the Prime Minister!
Anyway, this is what you get with yip yap diplomacy void of any tangible muscle to back it up. This lesson was learned thousands of years before the birth of Christ but somehow the Obama band of merry idiots failed to learn it in all their ivy league glory.
We very well may see a Soviet march that would have been unthinkable as recently as 1990 thanks to Obama’s new “smart” diplomacy.
I just pray to God that the Kremlin doesn’t have an itchy trigger finger.

While Surrendering To The Russians
Ausonius (Diary) Wednesday, October 14th at 8:52PM EST (link)NObama has also surrendered to the Iranian theocrats by cutting funds to the liberty underground there:
See:
http://www.newsmax.com/headlines/obama_iran_human_rights/2009/10/14/272402.html
An excerpt:
“The move is apparently intended to please Iran’s rulers after they criticized President Obama and the State Department for allegedly seeking to fund a “velvet revolution” during the June presidential elections in Iran.
“It sounds like the Iranians complained in Geneva and we acceded to their demands,” a former senior government official familiar with the pro-democracy programs told Newsmax.”
Don’t expect the MSM to worry about this or about Putin. Big BRObama keeps hoping the majority of AMerica is either too stupid to notice and/or understand, or too busy trying to find employment to notice.

The Surrender Continues: Now We Kowtow To The Chinese
Ausonius (Diary) Thursday, October 15th at 10:38AM EST (link)by allowing missile technology to migrate there.
An excerpt:
President Obama recently shifted authority for approving sales to China of missile and space technology from the White House to the Commerce Department — a move critics say will loosen export controls and potentially benefit Chinese missile development.
The president issued a little-noticed “presidential determination” Sept. 29 that delegated authority for determining whether missile and space exports should be approved for China to Commerce Secretary Gary Locke….
The presidential notice alters a key provision of the 1999 Defense Authorization Act that required that the president notify Congress whether a transfer of missile and space technology to China would harm the U.S. space-launch industry or help China’s missile programs. ”
I love that phrase “little noticed presidential determination” ! Is not BIG BRObama proud of everything he does? Why would this not be trumpeted with a full-force teleprompter? I can see it now: smug nose slanting upward at the 45 degree angle we have all come to know and love, lips in that upside down horseshoe that makes women tremble, and they say that “WE have determined this decision is good for America, both for the economy and to lessen tension between our two great countries, especially the People’s Republic of China, which really is the future of the world, the way America used to be.”

In Two Weeks BIG BRObama Has Guaranteed America's Decline
Ausonius (Diary) Thursday, October 15th at 1:40PM EST (link)at least for the rest of his term.
Putin’s Doctrine has been announced to the embarrassment of NObama and his Clintonized State Department, except they are so a. stupid b. ideologized c. a and b that they do not know they should be embarrassed.
Iranian theocrats, after they get done laughing, are free to continue their plans for Israel’s destruction: whichever way that turns out, the U.S. will suffer.
And now for the apparent reason that the anti-American ideology of BIG BRObama insists on the end of American power and on the dismantling of defenses and on the sharing of military technology to take away any advantage we have over murderous slave regimes like China, we now have this “little-noticed” decision to circumvent Congress.
Why is it “little-noticed”? This and the ramifications of every other dim-witted decision recently should be trumpeted from every remaining newspaper and every TV and radio station. But no: the MSM believes in everything from NObama. There are no reports of tragedy because there is no tragedy.
“While You Slept” was the name of a famous book by John Flynn detailing how leftists, Communist sympathizers, and outright spies in D.C. helped Asia be invaded by Communism.
I fear a 21st-century version of such a book may be coming out in a few years – if it is censored – detailing a similar destruction reaped by the BIG BRObama whirlwind.

It's dumbfounding
thatsright (Diary) Wednesday, October 14th at 9:33PM EST (link)It really is.
I’m doing a post now on Hillary’s visit to Moscow State and how this administration is attempting to reset the past at the expense of the future. We didn’t step on the Soviet Union’s neck when we had the chance and, predictably, they’ve reasserted their status as co-Superpower.
This couldn’t have come at a worse time either, seeing as how our new “hope for change” school of foreign policy offers us the very least chance of slowing the re-rise of a 21st century Soviet Union.
This is not to be taken lightly, but we have a President who is in so far over his head and who has surrounded himself with eggheads without the slightest clue how the world actually works, that it is realistic to think we may be entering CW II.
