Barack Obama's Cowardly Foreign Policy
By Floyd and Mary Beth Brown, Expose Obama
Liberal critics derided President Bush for engaging in cowboy diplomacy, or “going alone.”
Those same critics neglect to notice that Obama is employing a more dubious strategy than Bush.
Obama has pursued a confused and aimless foreign policy based on the idea that he can personally sway foreign heads of state with his charisma.
Unfortunately for our nation his “follow me because I’m charismatic” policy has proven to be devastatingly ineffective.
Obama alienates our friends and appears cowardly by appeasing our enemies.
Obama was elected promising to improve the standing of America in the world; he has failed miserably.
In September, Obama agreed to Russian demands and abandoned the Eastern European missile shield. This alienated allies Poland and the Czech Republic, who had risked much to participate in the shield, only to see Obama turn his back on them. This move signaled other countries that America does not stick by her agreements.
Obama showed he will abandon America’s friends when it is politically expedient.
Obama further caved to Russia by signing a nuclear agreement that could have been written by Putin himself. Obama gave the Russians everything they wanted without negotiating any significant benefits in return.
The Russians agreed to a downsizing in their nuclear arsenal, but that downsizing was going to occur anyway. On all the important issues, including tactical nuclear weapons, missile defense, and verification Obama made serious blunders.
With this treaty as a backdrop Obama called a nuclear summit. Two of our closest allies skipped the event.
