The Appalling Timing of Obama’s Missile Defense Decision
This article embeds the assumption that Obama believes that what he’s done, by throwing the young democracies of Eastern Europe to the dubious mercies of the Russian bear, somehow advances American interests.
The assumption is incorrect.
Obama’s international conduct to date has shown nothing but contempt for the country he supposedly “leads.” No one supposedly as smart as Obama could possibly believe that groveling to hostile powers, undercutting our military, and undermining our intelligence services could somehow advance or maintain American interests, or any other worthy goal. We’re left with two choices: either he’s very, very stupid, or he’s consciously and deliberately working against America’s interests, and the interests of America’s true allies.
We’ve allowed a bad man with an evil agenda into the Oval Office. Vladimir Putin himself could not do free peoples more damage, more swiftly. Until conservatives generally accept this, we will continue to argue with Obamunist policies, as if they were merely misguided, when in point of fact their direction is perfectly well thought out.
