That’s exactly what I did. What do you think I was addressing when I stated what I did? Did I advocate for intervening everywhere, or did I state we should make it clear we could?

China is watching us withdraw from the global stage. That fits it’s goals perfectly, because it wants to be the world’s next global hegemonic force.

We are telegraphing an acceptance of that determination by China. That’s flat out suicide.

As for Iraq, the region it threatened, and Israel’s safety, things would have been just fine if Obama hadn’t up and pulled everyone out, then armed and financed terrorist groups.

There was a flash point. We put the fire out.

Obama lit the fuse again. By rights, the Muslim Brotherhood efforts should never have succeeded. It died down as quickly as it started. Excepting for Obama, the Middle East would be a fairly quiet place today.

Obama has been an interventionist and is--if it be possible--more antagonistic to traditional American values on the subject of foreign policy, even than George W. Bush, or the Kennedy-Johnson Secretary of State, Dean Rusk, who advocated our promoting revolutions before the Soviets did!

Indeed, one could make a serious claim that what Obama/Clinton have wrought in North Africa & Syria, should be treated as war crimes. (And then there is the gun running to Mexican gangs, when they first came on the scene.)
