From the
news today in the South China Sea it would appear our images further sinks
Nuclear
powers should never play the game of chicken to see who first blinks
Poseidon may
have been a god with a trident for forces against him to defend
Our Poseidon
is a surveillance plane with no defenses against missiles a hostile foe might
wish to send
A Chinese
fighter jet armed to the proverbial missile teeth buzzes our Poseidon within
thirty feet
Rolls over
its top to show how shooting it down would be an easy feat
Another
example of how the great nation in the eyes of China is in continuing retreat
No wonder
instead of a Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Reagan or, two Bushes we now have a
fundraiser in the CinC’s seat
We are no
longer feared in China, Russia, Iran, Syria or North Korea not even remotely
admired
Less so as
the tips of our spears in the Army and Navy are being forced to retire
Very quickly
as Obama wants to our military footprint severely cut back
We may not
have the forces to fend off any major against our security interest attacks
Obama wanted
a turn to the Pacific and then starts reducing our sailors and their ships
On any sense
of strategy in foreign policy he has not even a feeble grip
Our military
quickly lodged the right protests with their Chinese counterparts
Given their
perception of us will the next they shoot and then depart
Obama has
been on the job for almost six years and still has not learned
In a
dangerous world where even the Jayvees at us scoff, keep the peace through
strength or get burned
Another
hint, fundraising and playing golf is not the jousting equivalent of sharpening
military skills
If our CinC
does not get his act together and soon, his lack of strategy is going to get a
lot of his fellow citizens killed!
