We now have a president whose foreign policy nobody can
understand but we can be assured it does not include making decisions. With indecisiveness in Egypt, Libya and
Syria and Iran, this was observed by many countries, especially Russia and
China that may have embolden the Russians to invade the Ukraine and we see
China making moves in the South China Sea.
Their motto has become, "You have nothing to fear, as long as Obama
is there".
We realize our options with the Ukraine crisis is limited
and does and should not include military action by us. However, what President Obama should do is
reinstitute the missile defense system that he cancelled in Poland when he came
into office. Now is the time to play
Putin's game and let him know his actions will not go without
repercussions. A foreign policy of
appeasement did not work between Hitler and Chamberlain in the 1930's and will
not work in the 21st century. Putin only understands appropriate and quick
response to his actions that continuing such aggression will be met with
policies that will reinforce cooperation with those countries that used to be
under the control of the former Soviet Union that Russia invaded in fighting
against the Nazis, and occupied for nearly 45 years. But we know the answer here.
"What difference does it make".
Now the Obama Administration is proposing a billion dollar
energy subsidy for Ukraine. Where is
that money coming from? We cannot
afford to pay our military, but we are okay with sending money to Ukraine? Yes, we can assist supporting Ukraine
financially, but most of this should be shouldered by the EU. We can improve their energy production and
offer expertise in other areas that may need, but we know anything to do with
energy production will get the environmental wachos that support Obama to raise
concern about how this will increase global warming, climate change or since
these phrases are not working they may use a new phrase such as Atmospheric
Disturbances/Irregularities.
