So much for Obama, Hillary and Democrats bringing us a peaceful world where nations respect the US.

Chip Bok; Reset to the 19th Century     "Secretary of State Kerry feels President Putin’s “19th century” behavior is not up to G-8 elite standards.
This isn’t Putin’s first rodeo when it comes to dropping in uninvited on his neighbors. He invaded Georgia on President Bush’s watch in August 2008. Like the current Crimea crises, Bush didn’t do much to stop it.
"Then came Hillary’s “Reset”, or Overcharge."
 
The U.S. retreats: History tells us who will fill the vacuum  ... "But Obama deserves more credit for good intentions and intellectual consistency. His foreign policy does have a theory. He believes that as U.S. power retreats from the world, a variety of good things will fill the vacuum. Allies and international institutions will take more responsibility. The United States will be better able to promote liberal norms, unburdened by discrediting military power."
....
"The problem is this: When enlightened liberal norms are divorced from U.S. power, liberal norms do not win out. The vacuum is filled by...."

OK, OK, maybe we can't be the world's policeman, but the question has been asked, what if there are world criminals?
History tells us that things will have to get much, much worse for the free world before our people develop the will to stand up to oppressive factions. Especially now that so many on our campuses have learned that Marxism and Islam are superior to what we used to call "the American Way".
In the 1930s, Hitler had told the world what he would do to those he conquered; we saw him breaking treaties and threatening his neighbors. We saw his army grow and heard his venom being preached. Yet any steps taken to prepare our military for resisting Nazism were met with cries of "warmonger", encouraged by the political left.
Even a president with more character and courage will face the same resistance from today's left, which forced even President Bush to give in to their causes.
 Democrats will have to be opposed by Republicans who can lead in the face of a culture that fears the world's bullies and will have to be taught once again that we are the "good guys", standing against the Scut Farkuses of this world. TD
Which of these philosophies will keep us safe?
