Last July vice president Biden stunned the world, and the Kremlin in particular, with his undiplomatic remarks made to the Wall Street Journal (see) that America holds all the cards in its dealings with Russia; that Russia is a weak and withering country collapsing from within economically and demographically; and that Moscow would bend to America's will in loosening its grip on former Soviet republics, on reducing its nuclear arsenal and in reining in Iran and ending its nuclear weapon's program. This was the same Joe Biden who said last Fall that Obama had a "spine of steel" and would withstand any test and meet any challenge to our national security and world preeminence.
Compare Biden's remarks to the events of last week where "spine of steel" caved into iron teeth Putin and ditched the missile defense shield with Putin defiantly refusing to punish Iran while demanding more concessions.
His "spine of steel" a Biden myth Obama came and saw and fainted. He had a golden opportunity to win the respect of friends and enemies alike and blew it big time. How could Biden have been so wrong about Obama? Does he now understand the truth about his boss? That he's a pathological appeaser trusting in weakness, at war with American exceptionalism and strength? That he is recklessly bent on diminishing America, ending our days as the superpower of liberty oblivious
to the consequences for civilization and world peace (see)? Empower our enemies, weaken our friends, break promises and faith. This is the Obama Doctrine of retreat and defeat leading America and humanity into turmoil and war. An old Chinese proverb says it best about this man: Great power and little wisdom is doomed to fail.
