President Barack Obama leans backward as Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel speaks during a National Economic Council and Domestic Policy Council planning meeting in the Roosevelt Room of the WH.
His campaign in 2008 talked about “Hope” and “Change.” Thirteen years later that hope has evaporated.
America is more divided than ever, and the world is a much more dangerous place.
Today the U.S. and Europe face a revanchist Russia that has invaded Ukraine. In East Asia, China has solidified its hold over the South China Sea, and its navy and growing military threaten Taiwan and beyond.
Iran’s threat to Israel is on the rise and U.S. influence across the Middle East is on the wane.
The U.S. military is increasingly incapable of confronting the threats the nation faces. And that is all just for starters …
Making Russia Great Again ... Russia would never have threatened Ukraine had it not been for Obama’s Russia reset.
Vladimir Putin, then Russia’s prime minister, looked to Washington and saw weakness in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Georgia. Russian tanks likely would not be on Ukrainian soil today had Obama shown strength and resolve after Russia invaded Georgia in August 2008.
Candidate Obama equivocated between the Russian aggressor that illegally occupied Georgian territory and the pro-Western Georgian government of Mikheil Saakashvili.
“I strongly condemn the outbreak of violence in Georgia, and urge an immediate end to armed conflict,” Obama said in a written statement in August 2008. “Now is the time for Georgia and Russia to show restraint and to avoid an escalation to full-scale war. Georgia’s territorial integrity must be respected.”
Republican Vice-Presidential Candidate Sarah Palin sized up Obama and correctly predicted that Putin would invade Ukraine if he was elected.
“After the Russian Army invaded the nation of Georgia, Senator Obama’s reaction was one of indecision and moral equivalence, the kind of response that would only encourage Russia’s Putin to invade Ukraine next.”
