The Obama administration has been snookered and out maneuvered at every step of their foreign policy decision making process...especially with Russia. Obama's posture...he now owns it... has been reactive and defensive giving away concessions that enhance Russia's position at every point of contention. Do the major improvements you embrace include:

The Obama administration's scrapping of the Ballistic Missile Defense European Capability. Tracking radar and interceptor missile silos coordinated in Poland and the Czech Republic would have provided a powerful shield against Iranian missile threats. Our new "best friends", the Russians, were not happy, in fact they were outright hostile to the defense system. Less we forget the Russian threat of a military strike in Poland if Poland proceeded with the defense system. Russia wanted and got a preferred system under their control. Obama gave it too them without a whimper. Ask the people of Poland and the Czech Republic about their track record with Russian diplomacy. Ask the people of Georgia and the Ukraine about our new "best friend's" ruthless suppression of dissent.

The Russians have agreed to some sanctions against Iran. However, they are categorically opposed to meaningful sanctions such as those on refined gas. Iran has oil but does not have the ability to refine it and has to depend on imports. Hmmmm.....could Russia and China be major suppliers of refined petroleum to Iran? ......and how is this a good deal for our foreign policy?

Do you think the copious and significant energy deals Russia and China have with Iran, including nuclear, could have motivated their favored nation treatment of Iran contrary to the interest of the United States?

I believe, as do many others, that Russian and China for many years, make that decades, have pursued a single minded core policy of creating a new world order without a powerful United States in the equation. They have succeeded significantly with economic advantage and military advantage aided an abetted by a weak schizophrenic American foreign policy.

Perhaps you agree with Obama's articulated new world order philosophy, You know the one where he disses American Exceptionalism and moved away from years of diplomacy that positioned America as a beacon of democracy that so many sacrificed so much for. Obama rejected our position as a world economic power and has all but insured, I submit deliberately, our demise as a leader in that venue.

Sorry K., I cannot agree there is anything significantly positive now or in the long term about Obama's a foreign policy. it's amateur hour at best and something far more sinister at the worst in the White House.

Let's not throw all the incumbents out......let's throw the leftists and the Marxists out.
