Thank Obama and Clinton for the destructive wars in Libya, Syria, Iraq, and would have been worst of all - Egypt

Respect of a nation's sovereignty appears conditional on one thing - does the country in question have nukes?

Ukraine gave up the nukes on its territory for a promise of western protection from invasion - but didn't get it. Russia is now nibbling on the edges of Ukraine proper after gobbling up Crimea.

Libya's Gaddafi gave up his nuke program, only to be dragged through the streets at the obvious glee of HRC.

Iran has a nuclear program, and has not suffered a major overt attack.

Once Iraq had its nuclear enrichment program destroyed, it was later invaded on stories of chemical weapons and association with bin Ladin.

Syria, with no nuclear weapons program in place, subject to regular allegations of a chemical weapon program, has uninvited troops on its soil.

North Korea, with a successful nuclear weapons program and missile delivery systems, is being treated with kid gloves.

In conclusion, if I was the leader of a small country under fire for not being part of an international bank or other globalist tool, I'd make sure my nuclear weapons were ready and deliverable, if I wanted to maintain my sovereignty.

Bush I and II opened Pandora's Box. Desert Storm could get a pass but stopping outside of Baghdad was military idiocy. The second time around invading Iraq was one of the most asinine decisions and charades in American diplomatic and especially military history. My opinion has nothing to do with the anti-war left or WMDs. My point of contention goes directly with your point. A dictator has been found to be better than the alternative in every case. The insurgency in Iraq after a SPECTACULAR military victory is all on Bush. Obama is ISIS enough said. Libya and Syria are AMERICAN war crimes by the Obama Administration. It's laughable about "influence" when this country pored gas on the Mideast under Obama. We tried this crap in Ukraine also and inexplicably have let Iran do what it wants. American foreign policy is insane.

Exactly. Obama is responsible for the killing of Christians in Syria

We are still in Syria, and Obama is no longer he President.
