We are having this confrontation BECAUSE Obama is a weak president. Everybody beat up on GWB for acting tough. Act tough and you don’t have to use force. Act like a metrosexual and you will get America’s *ss kicked. That’s the problem with not allowing boys to be boys on the ball field. They don’t learn how the world really works.
Is it deliberate destruction of civilization as we know it? Maybe overconfidence by the elite in their ability to control outcomes? Or utter stupidity?
Must be a great feeling for our Navy to know that the only reason they are in the region is to “prove” Sparky the Wunder CIC has a set, knowing full well they are only a pawn that will be required to withdraw the nanosecond Sparky’s alleged set suck back up into his vagina. What a despicable vile POS we have infested the White House...
World leaders don’t respect Obama, they know hes incompetent and weak and will not fight for his own nations interests, hes a useful tool to extract more power for themselves on the world stage, making for very dangerous times,
Its only the republicans in Congress that fear him,
A SINGLE DESTROYER and NOTHING like this at all for THREE years...??
This was juuust a scripted, minimalist, reluctant, pre-announced gesture completely aimed at formally attending to patching up political appearances.
“The US is committed to Asian trading allies and freedom of the seas”.
What kind of secret deal does he have with China..?
“You guys let us outwardly bluster every now and then, and we`ll let you bully boats at sea and we`ll patrol WAAAAY further away...”
If he MEANT it he would have sent a carrier group, but he doesnt and every one else in Asia knows it, too.
What happens when FOS patrols of actual substance in the South China Sea are left to JAPAN...??
Rest assured this single ship was Kabuki.
Puuuuure gesture, and an empty one.
