Ronald Reagan, together with Margaret Thatcher, stood up to Moscow, and brought the Soviet Empire to its knees. In contrast, Barack Obama has gone on his knees to grovel before the Russians. The exchange between President Obama and his Russian counterpart Dmitry Medvedev in Seoul was a display of supplication before a major strategic adversary on an issue of great importance for US national security missile defence. The private conservation was picked up on microphone, and relayed by ABC News correspondent Jake Tapper:
SNIP:
Barack Obamas comments are disturbing on several levels. First, they display a willingness to placate Americas enemies, and cede ground over issues of national interest. Second, Obama is linking foreign policy decision-making to the timetable of the US presidential election, openly telling the Russians that he will deliver when he is no longer constrained by seeking re-election. This demonstrates contempt for the American people, suggesting that what he tells the Russians may be completely different to his message at home. Third, they reveal a dismissive approach towards Americas friends in eastern and central Europe, as well as US allies in the Gulf states, who must be wondering now if they will be sold out next.
