I just heard a talking head , formerly affiliated with Senator Rand Paul, talking about "The Red Line." Meaning of course Obama's red line posed over the use of Asad's chemical weapons in Syria - presenting that declaration and not following through on it - as a major sign of how the USA is no longer the power in the world and the world is turning inward and de-stabilizing. John McCain also talked about how the USA has not presented a position of strength. Others are saying that bck in October, Obama did not make enough of the Russian hacking - even though he did speak personally to Putin about it and did publicize it.
Do you see a trend? I do - let's blame Obama! Another result of this phoney thinking is to encourage Trump's saber rattling with China. Where this leads us on Russia since Trump and Tillerson are in love with Putin.
Could you imagine what Trump would have said in his rallies if Obama had been more forceful? Trump already said that the election was rigged. And the media made headlines of the content of the WikiLeak products of the hacks, all against Hillary Clinton, while not pointing out that the content was the result of Russian hacking.
And "The Red Line". Were the American people willing to enter another war? Was the American budget deficit to assume that responsibility? While at the same time taking on another instance of nation building. Oh, and by the way, fighting Russia?
Puh-lease!
Is this a way to blame Obama and validate the Trump nonsense?
