There are constant mainstream media reports of Donald Trump
being too cozy with the Russians, even of a Putin-Trump “bromance.” I am no fan
of Russian leaders, but do they not remember Obama famously getting caught
saying to then Russian president Dmitry Medvedev before Obama’s 2012
re-election, “After my election I have more flexibility?” He requested that
Medvedev ask Putin to give him more “space” until then, all but promising to be
Putin’s pal after that fait accompli.
And
what about President Obama cow-towing to Iran, and john Kerry thanking the
Iranians for being kind enough to return our sailors to us after capturing them illegally? So what if
they are constantly taunting and belittling us, calling us the Great Satan and
threatening to wipe one of our closest allies off the map? That’s no reason not
to be neighborly and let them get The Bomb!
The
President hasn’t exactly taken a hard line with China either, letting it, too,
threaten us with impunity, build artificial islands (since stockpiled with
weapons systems), and essentially claim the Pacific Ocean west of Hawaii as
Chinese territorial waters.
Oh, and
now they’ve stolen one of our unmanned submarine drones.
Obama’s
response? He warned Trump, telling
him to carefully consider his actions
and any policy changes vis-à-vis China, lest he provoke a significant response from Beijing.
You
can’t make it up.
Moreover,
many on the left are upset that Trump had a phone conversation with Tsai
Ing-wen, President of Taiwan, angering already irritable Chinese officials who
view the island as a breakaway province. Remarkably, Pentagon officials stated
recently that they were trying to determine if the seizure of the underwater
drone had anything to do with Mr. Trump’s actions or comments.
To
liberals, Mr. Trump- still over a month away from taking office- is somehow to
blame for simultaneously being too soft on the Russians and too belligerent to
the Chinese. But blaming Citizen Trump
for China stealing our sub drone? And
I thought Bush Derangement Syndrome was appalling!
Early-onset
Trump Dementia Disorder may be fatal.
