I regularly read this blog but seldom excerpt from it. However, this essay with links gets right to the point and clearly cites our current administration's outlook.
A resurgent Russia, under a ruthless and savvy autocrat, is flexing its muscles in Eastern Europe. Communist China is threatening our allies and our interests in the Pacific. That same Russia and China appear headed for closer relations. Iran, thanks to the feckless naivete of Obama and Kerry, are poised to have nuclear weapons, with which they have vowed to destroy Israel. North Korea, in league with that very same Iran, continues to act provocatively, with full approval of the PRC, despite public protestations to the contrary. The Arab Spring has unleashed radical Islamists throughout the region. Russian influence throughout the Middle East has been exponentially enhanced by Americas leading from behind fiasco. We are without a viable grand strategy, and are slicing our Armed Forces to well below the levels at which we can defend our interests and deter our adversaries.
