"To be prepared for war is one of the most effective means of preserving peace." – George Washington.
It isn’t just about having the equipment built and the
manpower available to wield it. It’s about projecting the conviction that you
are willing to use it.
I know this isn’t the worst of times – I’m just frustrated at
how various portions of the world stage have fallen into chaos through the
weakness of the newest Neville Chamberlain.
He is negotiating with a state that sponsors terrorists to
allow them to build a nuclear weapon. What else could he mean for them to
understand, when he is afraid to put sanctions on them for fear of making them
mad?
He sent FIVE leaders of the Taliban (another terrorist
organization) back to the battlefield for ONE worthless deserter. He negotiated
our withdrawal from Afghanistan with those same terrorists.
He tells Israel to behave themselves as Hamas terrorists
attack them.
He allows Putin to gradually assimilate Ukraine back into
Mother Russia (Barack - is that what you meant when you said to tell Vladimir
that you’d have more latitude after the election?)
He abandoned Iraq and the people WE liberated who wanted their
freedom (remember those proud, purple fingers), then allowed Iraq and a
neglected Syria to become the birthplace of Islamic State, whom he says we are
fighting (although a couple of days ago we had marines in a compound that ISIL
attacked and WE WERE NOT INVOLVED in the fighting.)
A Jordanian pilot is murdered and the Jordanian King and his
people not only vow to destroy every last one of the monsters, but act on it.
How many Americans has the Islamic State killed? And we are still in the
process of degrading them (odd – we have them on the run so much they seem to
be spreading out over more territory than ever.)
“Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far.” – Theodore Roosevelt
Ultimately, no one is afraid of the stick – it’s the person
wielding it that’s important. It is obvious that the current occupier (and much
of his party) doesn’t have the stomach or inclination to even carry the stick,
much less use it.
I know our country isn’t weak, but THE WORLD, both friend and
foe, sees that we are being led by a confused, self-satisfied APPEASER, who is
either ignorant of history or thinks he is better than all that, and HIS
actions (and inactions) and HIS words (and silence) are what the world
considers when they decide what they can get away with.
Perception becomes reality in this case. And the clock is
ticking on the end of his final term; we can expect more turmoil before his
successor is sworn in.
Just saying…
