Remember how this Administration claimed it would set new directions in US foreign policy?\u00a0 How this Administration would gain new respect abroad by being more “nuanced” and collaborative in it’s dealings with other nations?\u00a0 That the world was tired of the US going it alone, like a tactless, blunt “cowboy”?<\/p>\n
Well, seems like things are working out a bit differently than intended. Here’s an article title from that bastion of right-wing thought, the UK Daily Mail:<\/p>\n
Russian prime minister warns Obama is bringing the world to the brink of ‘a second Cold War that nobody needs’<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Here are a couple of short quotes from the article:<\/p>\n In a videotaped interview published Tuesday, he told Bloomberg Television that ‘we are slowly but surely approaching a second cold war,’ in part because President Barack Obama ‘could be more tactful politically.’<\/p>\n . . .<\/p>\n Asked about the now-infamous ‘reset button’ effort that he co-engineered with then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in March 2009, Medvedev said the Obama administration has unraveled any Russian good will that may have existed five years ago.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Yeah, the Russian Prime Minister, Dimtry Medvedev, has an agenda here.\u00a0 But sometimes you can use God’s honest truth to further an agenda.<\/p>\n Current relations with China aren’t any better.\u00a0 The Chinese recently summoned the US Ambassador<\/a> over recent US public accusations of industrial espionage committed by members of the Chinese military.\u00a0 Further Chinese diplomatic actions may be pending.<\/p>\n And don’t even get me started on this Administrations foreign policy efforts regarding the “Arab Spring” uprisings, the Syrian Civil War, Iran, or Korea.<\/p>\n Yeah, that “nuanced, collaborative” style of diplomacy has really improved things for US interests worldwide, hasn’t it?<\/p>\n GMAFB.\u00a0 I’ll be so<\/span> glad when adults are managing US foreign policy again vice naive tools and\/or clueless fools.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
