Russian Reset, Nyet!

What if a cross between President Jimmy Carter and Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain could be done and what would the result be? Given the recent actions of President Obama and a speech he gave to the UN recently, anyone with at least one functional neuron couldn’t help but notice that this man is encouraging dictatorships while at the same time disparaging American allies. And to what purpose, is Obama recklessly leading this world down a path to war?


Being a US senator for only 141 days before announcing his presidential bid, Obama’s foreign policy experience was iffy at best. But, couple that with a socialist mentality that has an absolute distain for the free market and a hatred for America’s projection of freedom (a.k.a. that darn Yankee imperialism), Obama acts as if America deserves every punishment that he can possibly muster.


For example, much has been said about Obama’s about face on the missile defense shield in Poland and Czechoslovakia. The fact that he reversed the policy on the anniversary of the Russian invasion of Poland in 1939 either indicates he’s the most dense politician ever or he just likes to rub it raw to American allies.


Whatever the reason, Polish president Donald Tusk wouldn’t return Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s phone call, which actually gave him something in common with another previous world leader, Ex-Pres. Bill Clinton. He supposedly never took calls from his lovely betrothed especially when he was involved in heavy dictation with an intern in the oval office.


But a ship based missile system while maybe being cheaper and more mobile than a land base system, will also be further away from Iran and Russia. So to protect Poland and Czechoslovakia, it will have to respond sooner. One senator said that the Ground-Based Missile Defense system in Alaska must be fully deployed and properly maintained just to protect America from attacks by rogue states.


Let alone Eastern Europe, and a ship based system will have to depend on a land based radar system sophisticated enough to facilitate missile interception. Yet, Obama did promise the new system would be quicker, cheaper and more effective against the threat of Iranian missiles. Of course, he makes those very same promises when it comes to healthcare as well. Yes, ObamaCare will be so good it’ll cure those radiation burns from Iranian nukes --- using assisted suicide, of course!


Both the Czech and Polish republics went out on a limb to house a missile defense shield. Their large neighbor, Russia was against it from the beginning which is rather strange. Since being a defense shield, it wouldn’t be a threat to Russia unless they were planning to invade someday. The bear attack unprovoked, who would ever think Russia do anything like that?


Promising at most some useless Iranian sanctions, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev was just lovey-dovey afterwards. While attending the G20 summit, he told University of Pittsburgh students that love was the most important thing in life. He actually said, “Love is the closest thing that surrounds you.” It wouldn’t have been all that surprising had he started singing that Beatle’s song, “All you need is love. Love is all around…”


But, Medvedev, Putin’s puppet, isn’t the only dictatorship that’s been clicking his heels lately. Obama gave his UN speech that had a foreign leader given it just 10 years earlier; the American delegation would have walked out in protest. Instead, Obama impressed the world’s dictators.


Libya’s leader Colonel Gaddafi (pronounced What-a-Quack-is-he) called him his son. Last year, he referred to Obama as a Muslim, which makes him a rightwing kook in the left’s lexicon. Of course, Gaddafi is so loony in his logic that the translator during his 90 minute diatribe just up and quit because of the erratic sentence structure.


Then, there’s Iran’s leader who denies the Holocaust, but wants to nuke Israel out of existence. He told everyone afterwards that Obama agrees with him on America’s transgressions. Unfortunately, one can’t disagree with that especially when Obama accuses America of acting unilaterally, without regard for the interests of others.


It’s true that America sometimes acts solely in it own self interests. What country hasn’t? Yet, no other nation has been more selfless in promoting worldwide liberty. But, that doesn’t stop progressives from believing that America deserves the terrible atrocities done to her.


Normally, a president would distance himself from the praise of despotic dictators, but not Obama. He’s so narcissistic, he actually believes that they will love him, and he can achieve a world without nukes merely by pronouncing it.


Just months ago, Hillary Clinton gave a mistranslated “reset” button (it’s instead read “overcharge”) to Russia signaling supposedly a new era in relations. Unfortunately, what Obama really meant was “Reckless Empty-headed Surrendering and with Egotistical Temerity.”
