We have heard for years from all the experts, both left and right, that if you leave a vacuum in this topsy turvey world, and do nothing, that vacuum will be filled.

"
Russia and Iran have stepped up coordination inside Syria as they move to safeguard President Bashar al-Assad’s control over his coastal stronghold, according to officials in the U.S. and Middle East, creating a new complication for Washington’s diplomatic goals.

Senior Russian and Iranian diplomats, generals and strategists have held a string of high-level talks in Moscow in recent months to discuss Mr. Assad’s defense and the Kremlin’s military buildup in Syria, according to these officials.

The buildup is continuing: On Monday, U.S. defense officials said Russian surveillance drones have started flying missions over Syria, and Moscow has sent two dozen more fighter jets to Syria."

"Washington (CNN)Russia has started to fly unmanned aircraft over Syria in what appears to be surveillance operations over the country, two U.S. officials told CNN.

And the beat goes on.

We used to have CIA on the ground, training and arming rebels/patriots. Now we have weak politicians with inadequate technology sitting back and leading from behind. It won't be long before we can get the old maps out of the basement that showed a world threatened by a large Soviet Union menace. What a mess the next administration is going to have to clean up. We already know that Hilary contributed to the current status so hopefully, she's out. Otherwise, we will see millions of immigrants and refugees in our country as well as a world of chaos. Obama has redefined "following/follower/follow" to the term "leading from behind." Kind of settles the question of why he would invite the gays to the White House. Had to get my little barb in at the end.

One cannot lead from behind and expect to remain a viable power.

Obama's agenda....emasculate America in every way possible.

We have devolved to a point in the rest of the world where we are a threat to and are feared by NOBODY!
