Why should we take advice from a president who has surrendered the world to chaos?
— I wonder who in Downing Street briefed Barack Obama's team on the
wording of his friendly warning to the British. Somebody obviously pointed out that the population of this country
retained a quaint obsession with the Second World War, and would
therefore treat any reference to the glorious dead as irreproachable. So
the President invoked the European graves of those American servicemen
who died to protect – well, what exactly? . . . . . permitting Russia’s proxy, Assad, to remain in place in Syria, as
American inaction does, drives every dissident in the region into the
arms of anti-Western extremism, and puts American (and European)
security at the mercy of a Russia-Syria alliance. Not to mention the
salient fact that Assad’s genocidal tyranny fuelled the migrant rush to
the European borders. Was Mr Obama aware of that great success story of
EU collaboration, in which an emergency was turned into an international
tragedy by bureaucratic incompetence and a complete collapse of
cooperative goodwill? The abandonment of border checks inside the EU,
combined with the unilateral decision by Germany to encourage mass
entry, created a living hell in which organised people-trafficking on an industrial scale became a fixture of life.
