establishment left and right have been struggling, throwing any and all crap they could come up with against the barn door hoping anything would stick.
This won’t make a dent either.
Is it possible that Obama really is as clueless and ineffective as this article implies?
That he is as utterly stupid about international policies.
Yes, I think so, just as he is malevolent in his domestic policies.
Both have been the world view that his parents, grandparents, and all his mentors taught him for his entire life.
If you look at Alinski, Alinski never had any significant thoughts on foreign policy, at least that I have found in a couple of internet searches.
That follows orthodox leftist thought from his time, that wars and foreign policy are all just economically driven by capitalism, and that true “socialist” states would never make war on each other.
Much like Alinsky’s other basic assumptions about reality, those premises are false.
So it is possible that Obama really is clueless about the realities of power politics in foreign affairs.
And the world is paying the price, in Churchillian coin.
