Even his best buds at the WaPost, see Obama as living and working in an alternative universe, one that has little to do with present day, foreign realities. (Here is the part where I get to say, "I told you so.")

 The article speaks for itself.  The commentary,  an official WaPost point of view,  demonstrates just how out of touch Obama and his minions are.  Harry Reid,  Dick Durban,  Charles Schumer,  Nancy Pelosi,  all share in Obama's Utopian Nonsense. But there remains a growing population within the Democrat Party,  that understands just how incompetent this man truly is.  And Hillary is moving further and further away from Der Slickster.  This is not going to last forever.  We can only hope Israel,  Taiwan,  and Free Europe  (especially the border states to Commie Russia) all survive Obama's tyranny  ~blog editor.  

The Post’s View

President Obama’s foreign policy is based on fantasy

By Editorial Board, Published: March 2

FOR FIVE YEARS, President Obama has led a foreign policy based more on how he thinks the world should operate than on reality. It was a world in which “the tide of war is receding” (from an Obama speech in June of 2011 - blog editor) and the United States could, without much risk, radically reduce the size of its armed forces. Other leaders, in this vision, would behave rationally and in the interest of their people and the world. Invasions, brute force, great-power games and shifting alliances — these were things of the past. Secretary of State John F. Kerry displayed this mindset on ABC’s “This Week” Sunday when he said, of Russia’s invasion of neighboring Ukraine, “It’s a 19th century act in the 21st century.”

That’s a nice thought, and we all know what he means. A country’s standing is no longer measured in throw-weight or battalions. The world is too interconnected to break into blocs. A small country that plugs into cyberspace can deliver more prosperity to its people (think Singapore or Estonia) than a giant with natural resources and standing armies.

Unfortunately, Russian President Vladimir Putin has not received the memo on 21st-century behavior. Neither has China’s president, Xi Jinping, who is engaging in gunboat diplomacy against Japan and the weaker nations of Southeast Asia. Syrian president Bashar al-Assad is waging a very 20th-century war against his own people, sending helicopters to drop exploding barrels full of screws, nails and other shrapnel onto apartment buildings where families cower in basements. These men will not be deterred by the disapproval of their peers, the weight of world opinion or even disinvestment by Silicon Valley companies. They are concerned primarily with maintaining their holds on power.
