The War Drums are Beating in Ukraine

No, I do not mean a shooting war like Vietnam, Korea, or Desert Storm. I am thinking of the Cold War redux: battle of the wits, war of the proxies. Even so, today feels eerily familiar.

  • Little, if any, diplomacy
  • Hardened, defiant attitudes
  • No thoughts of compromise or negotiation
  • Everyone is listening only to themselves
  • Deep divisions amongst the powers without
  • Deep divisions within the country in question

This failure of global relations is squarely on the shoulders of Team Obama. It is the responsibility of the United States to prevent such problems, and these cannot be controlled by simply talking, making speeches, and negotiating. At some point, you have to unholster your weapon, release the safety, and splatter his brains on the wall behind him. For example: the Iranian blitzkrieg towards nuclear weapons will not be stopped with cordial negotiations in Geneva. It requires a military strike to destroy Iranian nuclear resources.

The Obama foreign policy has flamed-out, I should say rather spectacularly.
