Enemies See America As Vulnerable Prey
Townhall.com ^ | July 14, 2016 | Victor Davis Hanson

Here is a sampling of some recent news abroad:

A Russian guard attacked a U.S. diplomatic official at the door to the American Embassy in Moscow, even as NATO leaders met to galvanize against the next act of Russian aggression.

The Islamic State continued its global terrorist rampage with horrific attacks in Baghdad and Istanbul.

Iran rebuffed United Nations warnings and defiantly boasted that it will continue testing ballistic missiles. German intelligence believes that Iran, empowered by the release of $100 billion in impounded cash, is violating its recent American-led nonproliferation deal in an effort to import nuclear bomb-making technology.

North Korea conducted a test (unsuccessful, apparently) of a submarine-based guided missile.

There are various ways of interpreting these ominous events.

They could represent just more empty chest-thumping by our enemies.

Or, because this is an election year in the U.S., enemies are posturing in order to advance their agendas, as they often do in times of uncertainty about who will be the next president.

Well they see we allowed an enemy to infiltrate and take over our country and we haven’t removed him. No wonder they think we’re weak anfd vulnerable...

Exactly. The intelligence services of other nations know all about the Kenyan and his affiliations, and the people who back him.

In the meantime, we just watch and let it happen.

I guess killing OBL didn’t end up changing much, now did it?

Well, we’ve had almost eight years of outright anti-Americanism by the Democratic Party of America.

They’ve been selling American sovereignty to the highest bidder.

They’ve been doling out American taxpayer money to our worst enemies including the United Nations so that those enemies can support more terrorism and also other terrorist nations in their evil anti-American globalist one world government endeavors.

Our enemies watch the actions of this anti-American regime in disgust of how vile our leaders are but at the same time glee at our downfall. Even the evil are disgusted by this administration’s stench.

There’s been key players in all of this, both domestically and internationally (i.e. Obama, Kerry, Clinton, Powers, Jarrett, Holder, Lynch, Comey, Panetta, etc.) but it took collusion on both sides of the aisle to get this treason and destruction and turmoil accomplished.

This is where Trump comes in and will carry all 50 states in the general. People like McCain, McConnel, Ryan, Boehner, Graham, Reid, Pelosi, Feinstein, Schumer and many other elected American traitors should be shown the door.

I pray and act for this to come to fruition, as I know many here do.

The corollary is, they will disdain the weak horse.

The American space toilet broke on the International Space Station and they have to use the Russian toilet. I bet Putin's hybrid warfare is behind that.

America isn’t so much vulnerable prey as a predator which has sustained too many wounds to catch enough prey to sustain itself.

America’s “predators” are the sociological equivalent of parasites, bacteria, buzzards and insects, just waiting to chow down on a fresh corpse.
