Obama’s Post-American World

Iran is on the march, and we have Barack Obama to thank.

In Tehran, Iran, Brazil and Turkey signed a deal on Monday to swap nuclear fuel. Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki, Brazil’s President Luis Inacio Lula da Silva and Foreign Minister Celso Amorim, and Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu raised their hands in triumph after signing the deal.

Ambassador John Bolton spells out the implications of the deal: “If this continues, it cuts the kneecaps off the administration’s sanctions effort. I think it’s a jujitsu move by the Iranians that undercuts the Obama policy.”

An unsigned editorial in the Wall Street Journal characterized the deal as “a political coup for Tehran and possibly delivers the coup de grace to the West’s half-hearted efforts to stop Iran from acquiring a nuclear bomb.” The editorial adds: “Full credit for this debacle goes to the Obama Administration and its hapless diplomatic strategy.”

And that’s not all. A new Israeli report shows that Iran has formed an alliance with China and North Korea, focusing on the development of missiles and nuclear capabilities.

Israel’s Foreign Minister, Avigdor Lieberman, said last week that North Korea is sending WMD’s to Iran’s reliable Middle Eastern client state, Syria. And few weeks ago it was revealed that Iran is sending paramilitary troops to Venezuela. What for?

A nuclear-ready Iran is preparing for world war. Here, there, everywhere. And we have … impotent Obama.

When the U.N. elected the oppressive Islamic regime of Iran to its Commission on Women’s Rights, the U.S. did nothing and said nothing—and our silence was affirmation. Ignoring Iran’s legal mistreatment of women and terrible human rights record is now concurrent with U.S. policy?

This is no accident. Last year, Obama had the U.S. co-sponsor with Egypt a U.N. resolution calling upon member states to criminalize “incitement to religious hatred,” which is UN-speak for restricting free speech about Islamic terrorism. So the U.S. went on record favoring measures that would violate the 1st Amendment.

Again I will bang this drum: the President took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution. Not only is he not defending it, he is subverting it.

Ayn Rand foresaw it all when she said: “The spread of evil is the symptom of a vacuum. Whenever evil wins, it is only by default: by the moral failure of those who evade the fact that there can be no compromise on basic principles.”

And so it is in the post-American world Obama has created, for we are now living in the world Barack Obama has made. He demonstrates no moral compass. He apologizes for American’s moral and exceptional history, and abdicates American sovereignty. And now ghouls, evil men, rush in.

Bolton added: “Bad as Obama policies are for America, they are equally dangerous for friends who have relied for decades on the U.S. nuclear umbrella as a foundation of their own national security strategies. As Washington’s capabilities decline and as it narrows the circumstances when it will use nuclear weapons, allies are asking hard questions about whether the U.S. nuclear umbrella will continue to provide the protection it has previously.”

You won’t like what comes after America. We the sheeple are waiting on Obama’s catastrophe. You can put any happy face you want on the lethal nonsense he sanctions, but at the end of the day, he is empowering our enemies and weakening us.

America is on sabbatical, and all hell will break loose. War is coming. Nothing happens for decades and decades happen in a day. The backstory to these terrible developments is well documented in my book, The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration’s War on America, which will hit bookstore shelves in July.

This is a horror. We are being betrayed and routed by our own leadership. And it’s only going to get worse.

Nonetheless, my money is still on the little Jewish guy in Israel versus this army of knuckleheaded barbarians. Yes, that includes their foremost patron: Barack Hussein Obama.
