The crisis in the Middle East and Ukraine has raised some
interesting questions about Obama's foreign policy. There
doesn't seem to be a cohesive nature to any of his actions.
It appears that he only 'reacts' to events, and then when he
reacts, he doesn't seem to think the situation all the way
through. Some of the stances of this government are just so
off kilter that some may sense something sinister behind his
actions. That aside, the novice foreign policy displayed by
this President has left the world on the precipice of disaster.
Take for example the President's handling of Egypt
during the 'Arab Spring'. He supported the coup d'etat that ended Mubarak's reign in Eygpt
and brought to power the Muslim Brotherhood. This precipitated the killing and persecution of
Christians, and what was Obama's response? To continue the $1.5 billion in military aid to
Egypt's new radical leaders. Recently, Sisi was elected to take over power in Egypt and
Obama responded by holding up military aid because according to Yahoo's Dmitri Zaks,
'Russia has jumped at the chance to grab a bigger slice of the Egyptian arms market after the
United States suspended some of its weapons deliveries in the wake of Sisi's crackdown on
the former Islamic government last year.'. Why would we hold up arms shipments to a leader
who is cracking down on radical Islam? A nation that is also fighting with our 'ally' Israel
against the Palestinian tunnels (but you won't hear that on the news). Now Russia is stepping
to fill the gap and providing $3 billion in military weaponry and forging an alliance with the new
Egyptian leader.

With Russia ignoring the UN warning to not bring in humanitarian aid, the massacre in Syria
and Iraq (with Obama breaking his promise and sending in troops), Isis' leader claiming to be
the 12th Imam, China and North Korea flexing their muscles, and Obama allowing a flood of
illegals (including MS13 gang members and scores of people on the watch list)...how long will
Obama believe that diplomacy is the only option when dealing with madmen? Our country
needs a President, and not someone perpetually on vacation.
