I recall a very appropriate cartoon from the cold war days showing Kruschev with his hand out to shake with Uncle Sam with his other hand behind his back with a fist full of nuclear weapons. Updated for today it would be the heads of Iran and Syria with their hands out while trying to constrain ROTFLOF!!!!
The play nice nice diplomacy and naievete' of recent years has compromised our position in the world. We the people of the USA are in far more danger now as a result of this predictable wishy washy positioning. The ruthless are salivating at the opportunities being afforded to them.
The bad guys have the advantage of dealing with what used to be called the paper tiger.
I see no change in the course of events of the current events. Only an emasculated acting, once upon a time feared, military and technologically superior country.
It usually takes a "significant event" to change a course of current events.....which will most likely involve a major loss of innocent lives!! I am very concerned about the ability of the USA to be able to defend itself and recover as our history shows we were very able to do.
