Retired General James Mattis at his Senate confirmation hearings
yesterday said. “I think [the world order is] under the biggest attack
since World War
II … from Russia, from terrorist groups and with what China is doing in
the South China Sea.” I don't see how anyone in America can take issue with that assessment.
Russia is on the muscle in Crimea and the Ukraine, hell-bent on destroying NATO and reassembling the old Soviet Union. China has become emboldened to the point that it openly and flagrantly flaunts its power in the South China Sea. Iran and North Korea both have been pursuing intercontinental nuclear missile capability and they have made great strides in doing so. ISIS, Hamas, Boko Haram and, (to a lesser degree), Al Qaeda... are threatening the entire world stage with the imposition of radical Islam. All of this has taken place while our own military capabilities have been sorely depleted.
Frankly, we can blame all of this on one Barack Hussein Obama. Had it not been for him and his damned Nobel Peace Prize, I seriously doubt the world stage would be set the way it now is.
The legacy the S.O.B. leaves behind is scary, to say the very least.
