What was "THE OBAMA DOCTRINE"

[ClosedCaption]

Is Obama still the POTUS? Or you're trying deflect that you don't have any idea what Trump stands for?

Obama's foreign policy for the past 8 years seems relevant to me in any current foreign policy discussion.

Why wouldn't it be? Specifically?

Because it doesn't answer what Trump's doctrine. The world history for the past 40 years seems relevant also...but we're talking about now. Not what Jimmy Carter did

Thanks but no thanks snowflake. Do you have your mobile safe space aka hands to cover your eyes from different opinions?

AQ is a fraud. The attack on the USS Cole was a missile, not a boat. AQ is blamed for things they do not do. The CIA and Mossad do it, and "radical islam" is blamed, and off to war the Americans go to help Israel re-conquer the Promised Land.

What was it and what did it accomplish?

The destruction of the U.S. for being an "imperialist" nation and the aid to rise up other nations so that all nations were "equal". Here are two prime examples:

• Obama place a moratorium on offshore drilling after the BP oil spill. Yet he sent over $4 billion per year to South America for offshore drilling off the coast of Brazil. Now, if Obama outlawed offshore drilling in the U.S. out of concern for the environment - why would he send billions to offshore drill on South America? Because it wasn't about the environment. It was about crippling America's taxes (over $4 billion which could have been used for the U.S.) and crippling U.S. energy independence, while increasing BOTH for poorer South American nations.

• Obama's "Cap & Trade" nonsense. It placed a "cap" on emissions. Now, if his concern was really about the environment, that would be the end of it. You would simply have to lower your emissions or reduce manufacturing. But, Obama's "Cap & Trade" plan would allow a massive corporation - like GM for instance - to purchase unused cap emissions from a mom and pop bakery that has little to no emissions and would never even come close to reaching the cap. The end result was absolutely no reduction in emissions. So what was the point of it? To force giant corporations to fork over billions to small business.

Daddy taught him that the U.S. was the "great imperialists". His entire focus was on how to bring down the big boys (nations, corporations, etc.) and to prop up the little boys (again, nations, corporations, etc.).

It is interesting that he wouldn't want offshore drilling near America, but it's FINE off of Brazil. FVck Brazil's environment, huh?

Obama is a real global environmentalist!

earth to anusidiot .. name one American President who had jurisdiction in international waters, or Brazilian waters .. just ONE.

Earth to come burping gutter slut. You're a syphilitic abortion from a pygmy grudge fvck.

Name ONE President that would be forced to buy oil from Brazil for any reason....JUST ONE.

If, as we all suspect, Wussein Obambi was the Girl From Ipanema dressed up like Chaz Bono, then it's perfectly possible.

What was it and what did it accomplish?

For eight years, that is the question the Obama administration was asking, "What is the Obama doctrine?"

 

[task0778]

The Obama Doctrine: alienate your allies and kiss your enemy's ass. Or maybe his idea of who are our allies and who are our enemies is different from ours.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

You all forgot! There really was an obama doctrine and you forgot.

It was Strategic Patience.

White House Unveils Call for ‘Strategic Patience’

Basically it was do nothing. Events will change anyway.

I had a wonderfully gentle cat. He never harmed another living thing. He never so much as killed a bug. His idea was, if you look at something long enough, it will eventually go away on its own.

Who knew that the cat was as smart as the shitstain president?

Obama is the poster child of everything wrong with racial preferences under Affirmative Action. Those preferences were supposed to be for those whose ancestors actually suffered discrimination here in the US. Obama has none. His white ancestors were slave owning Confederates. His black African ancestors were those rounding up other Africans and selling them to Jewish owned slave ships. So why did Barack get preferential treatment his entire life, every education stop, every job, even from the American people who wanted to get over race... and found out voting for O did 180 degrees the opposite.

Preferences do not work. They marginalize truth and merit and produce bigots who have no respect for either truth or merit since neither ever mattered in their lives. Obama is just such a bigot who hates truth and merit.

When asked to release his college transcripts to show how "smart" he was, he refused (put a white sheet over it). Why? Because he was completely unqualified to attend the schools he got preferential treatment in admissions. Obama took a lot of acting courses, trying to pretend to be a statesman while really being a kleptocratic bigot.

In the end, his DOJ completely discriminated on the basis of race, the country was divided by race, and it is now perfectly clear that Black Democrats are the worst bigots in the US. BDs only care about skin color. Nothing else matters. The blacks in Africa who grabbed their ancestors and sold them to the ships are wonderful, and the Union Army soldiers were all racist whites.

THAT is the Obama doctrine - the exact opposite of Dr. King's message - only BLACK SKIN matters...

The "Barack Obama Doctrine" was to disregard national security. The belief that one could simply appease evil by catering to it.

The belief that one could simply appease evil by catering to it.

Actually, that is insufficient. Barack didn't just appease evil, he completely sold out to if on multiple fronts, from the Global Warming fraud to taking cash+ from the 911 traitors.

If it harmed America, Barack was fine with it. If it helped America, Barack was against it. Some of that "real truth" should be out by the end of May.

Two ex-Obama officials skewer their former boss: His inaction ‘left a more dangerous world’

Recall.

Over just the past week, the share of Americans who oppose U.S. airstrikes in Syria has surged 15 points, from 48% to 63%, as many who were undecided about the issue have turned against military action. By contrast, the share of Americans who support airstrikes remains virtually unchanged: Just 28% favor U.S. military airstrikes against Syria in response to reports that its government used chemical weapons.

Opposition to Syrian Airstrikes Surges

Our most powerful ally voted down a measure to join us in strikes against Syria.

Congress refused to pass any measure of support.

I'm sure it would have been as futile a gesture as President Gringhes. Of course Republicans would have bitched and moaned endlessly about it but more importantly, so would have over half the democrats. Like attacking al Qaeda on Oct 12 2000, there was no political will, no domestic support and no support from our allies in attacking Syria in 2013. Even the Pussy Grabbing Birther "Don" was vocally opposed to it.

The outspoken former official didn't contribute a twit, he left in 2010.

Do you have a point here? For the record - I vehemently oppose the U.S. airstrikes on Syria. I think it will be the dumbest decision of the Donald Trump presidency. But what does that have to do with the Obama doctrine which created this mess?

Remember - Syria was a stable nation the day Barack Obama was sworn into office. Then he armed ISIS and Al Qaeda and provided various other forms of material support with the express purpose of seeing Assad over thrown. He created the entire freaking mess. So while I think Trump was very stupid in his decision - there would have been no decision to make if not for the failed foreign policy of Barack Obama.

Can you please help me understand what the difference between Trump and Obama on foreign policy? Beside the reality that trump thinks acting like a asshole will solve anything.

It is contrary to known reality that President Obama specifically arm ISIS and al Qaeda or that such imaginary support caused the uprising. Fake fact. Alt fact. It's still not true no matter how many times the RussianWNJ's repeat it.

In 2011, what became known as the Arab Springrevolts toppled Tunisian President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali and Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.

That March, peaceful protests erupted in Syria as well, after 15 boys were detained and tortured for having written graffiti in support of the Arab Spring. One of the boys, 13-year-old Hamza al-Khateeb, was killed after having been brutally tortured.

The Syrian government, led by President Bashar al-Assad, responded to the protests by killing hundreds of demonstrators and imprisoning many more. In July 2011, defectors from the military announced the formation of the Free Syrian Army, a rebel group aiming to overthrow the government, and Syria began to slide into civil war.
