Foreign Policy: The Obama Doctrine Results
Obama has shown is complete lack of understanding in the machination we call world politics when he backed the Arab Spring, Which sprang into a fireball of death and destruction in several countries. Egypt is so angry with Obama’s backing of the Muslim Brotherhood they have declared him a war criminal. The revolution itself is responsible for 841 deaths without counting the brotherhoods stay in power and the resulting revolution afterward.
Fast and Furious = Failure, accounting for several Mexicans and Americans dead
Benghazi = Failure, four Americans left behind for the enemy to torture and eventually kill.
Syria = Failure on several levels, Obama wanted to go to war but Russia backed him down. So not only was he a laughing stock in the Middle East he thought he would take the show on a European tour also resulting in no one believing Obama has a spine or even understands the concept of foreign diplomacy. It is right about here Obama finally starts to see his poll numbers in the USA start to drop, today 41% approval is the best he can do.
Ukraine = Failure Again the Russians and Putin have bested the President at foreign policy and decidedly made him and John Kerry look like clowns exiting a clown car. The USA declares sanctions both times against a handful of people who could care less, Mr. president have you paid attention at all to what you have done to the economy here, who would care if they cannot bank in the world’s most corrupt banking haven.
Philippines = Failure you made a deal with a group of Islands that allows our military to have a bigger impact, yet that impact cannot be a military base. So we are going to open trade agreements and pay aid so that we can stay at the Hilton in Manila, really.
One could look endlessly at how President Obama has led our nation into one disaster after another in foreign affairs, which is ironic in the sense that according to Senator Obama he was to bring peace and order to the USA through better relationships with other nations. As it turns out President Obama is more of a court jester when it comes to foreign relations. He isn’t any better t domestic relations but that is a story for another time.
