Well, if they are going to do it they had better do it now while the United States has Obama in power.
They know that when it comes to anything resembling military power, the U.S. has been neutered by “the One” and our timid and weak politicians.
If any foreign enemy ever attacked us during the reign of Obama, he would immediately call for ‘peace talks’ and all the politicians would blame ‘cultural insensitivity’.
Perhaps they are waiting for our government to finish pansifying our military.
