Posted: 05 Mar 2014 03:00 PM PST It's pointless to pay attention to foreign policy when a Democrat is president, unless you enjoy having your stomach in a knot. As long as a Democrat sits in the White House, America will be repeatedly humiliated, the world will become a much more dangerous place -- and there's absolutely nothing anybody can do about it. John F. Kennedy was in the White House for less than three years and, if you think he screwed a lot of hookers, just look what he did to our foreign policy. Six months after becoming president, JFK had his calamitous meeting with Nikita Khrushchev in Vienna -- a meeting The New York Times described as "one of the more self-destructive American actions of the Cold War, and one that contributed to the most dangerous crisis of the nuclear age." (The Times admitted that a half-century later. |
Pentagon budget: 4 ways White House wants to change the military Posted: 05 Mar 2014 02:46 PM PST When top Pentagon officials came to Capitol Hill Wednesday with their 2015 budget in hand, they offered some key clues about what they expect the future US military to look like. Here are the top four things the new Defense budget reveals about the White House's priorities for the US military. The rise of a "new center of power" throughout the globe means "a world that is growing more volatile, more unpredictable and, in some instances, more threatening to the United States," Secretary Hagel said. "We are no longer sizing the military to conduct long and large stability operations," he added, in a briefing with Pentagon reporters. |

'Ukraine is game to you?' It shouldn't be. Posted: 05 Mar 2014 09:07 AM PST While the situation is no laughing matter, with all Russian moves pointing towards an indefinite Russian occupation of Ukraine's Crimea peninsula and perhaps an eventual annexation, Ukraine is treated like a game by many leaders in the US – a partisan game. Senator Graham's implication is that if that President Barack Obama had extracted a "price" over the terrorist attack that left the US ambassador to Libya and three other Americans dead in 2013 then Mr. Putin would have responded to ouster of pro-Russian Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych differently. The US under Obama, after all, stretched a United Nations Security Council resolution on protecting civilians in Libya beyond the breaking point to support an air campaign that allowed Libya's ragtag militias to overthrow Muammar Qaddafi. Russia has a vast nuclear arsenal, pretty much immunizing it from attack by the US or any other fellow nuclear power (leaving aside the question of what vital US interest is in Ukraine worth going to war with Russia). |

China ups military spend by 12 percent. Are the gloves coming off? Posted: 05 Mar 2014 07:37 AM PST China made headlines today with its annual military budget, up 12.2 percent to $132 billion dollars this year. That's about one quarter of the $495 billion military budget that President Obama presented to Congress yesterday. Predictably, official commentary here stresses that China is a peace-loving nation with no aggressive intentions. China needs a powerful military, explained Fu Ying, spokeswoman for the National People's Congress, on Tuesday because "if some country provokes or undermines consensus or even damages peace and order in the region, then China must respond effectively." |
Humanitarian aid is the best, and only, solution for Syria Posted: 05 Mar 2014 07:25 AM PST Unlike revolutions in neighboring Egypt, Tunisia, and Libya, Syria's revolution has dragged on in a horrific way: 100,000 dead, 2.5 million refugees, 6.5 million internally displaced within Syria. Today there is little food, little hope, and few choices for the international community to help stop the bloodshed. Strategic, coordinated humanitarian assistance remains the best opportunity for meeting the urgent needs of Syria's people but also resolving the conflict. Aid has the potential to bring together competing factions inside and outside Syria and can pave the way for future diplomatic cooperation. |
