Regarding our community activist president's current imbroglio with
Vladimir Putin of Russia, I stand with Donald Trump, who said recently:
"The thing I have the most concern about is that he's being so lambasted
for not being respected, and for being a joke, that he'll do something
really stupid to show that he's a man."
We are now about where we
were with Jimmy Carter after he lectured his fellow citizens about their
so-called "inordinate fear of communism" even as the Soviet Union was
spreading its tentacles over the Third World.
His sudden
turnaround — caused by Soviet aggression in Afghanistan — from a
position of sweet reason to the pose of a hawk alarmed me and doubtless
alarmed the Russians.
Mr. Carter began the military buildup that a
more gifted statesman, President Ronald Reagan, consummated in pursuit
of a peaceful ending of the Cold War. Yet while Mr. Carter resided in
the White House, I was uneasy with the sudden anti-communism of this
moralistic twerp.
Most probably, Mr. Trump was, too. Now we have to worry about the intolerable greenhorn President Obama. What will he do next?
He
came into the White House promising to turn his back on some 40 years
of history. To him, the Cold War was a foolish waste of resources that
could have been better spent on the kind of things community activists
spend government resources on: in the main, booty for their friends.
He
famously "reset" the administration's policy with Russia, to use
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's pert term for their demarche. He
abandoned a missile-defense agreement with Poland and the Czech
Republic. He abruptly pulled out of Iraq and began planning his
withdrawal from Afghanistan.
