GUY MILLIERE:The Wonders of the Obama Doctrine…..translated
There is no doubt. The Obama doctrine in foreign policy ( I will return to the Obama doctrine in domestic politics soon) does wonders .
Faced with the increase in China ‘s maritime and airspace and threats to the islands he considers part of its territory, as confronted with signs of hardening of the North Korean regime , Japan seems determined to rearm , even offend regional sensitivities , and the recent visit of Shinzo Abe to the Yasukuni Shrine is highly symbolic of what is at stake : east Asia becomes a major area of potential problems. Especially the young Kim, third of the name, North Korea feels that the ground is favorable and holds discourse increasingly delusional , while providing , in parallel , to show that not only pleasant , his uncle to eat a hundred hungry dogs .
Sub-Saharan Africa, it is confronted with the side effects of instability in North Africa . And after Mali , where advances of Islamism in North are curbed , but not stopped all ( Islamist factions are bent in the other countries in the region until later) , it is the Central African Republic is hit, and France can only call other countries to act , faced with an impossible task too large for her. Entire area stretching from Mauritania to Somalia is actually the victim of a resurgent al Qaeda and a stirrer with multiple ramifications . Tribalism is involved, and South Sudan itself is beginning to decompose , while Boko Haram takes northern Nigeria.
North Africa itself is doing very badly. The Muslim Brotherhood is in trouble in Egypt and Tunisia, but the Islamist agitation is more intense than ever : Egypt is economically destroyed and on the brink of civil war , Tunisia is doing little better , Libya become , as expected, a failed state and dissolved. Algeria and Morocco stand still vaguely standing : the question is for how long .
Syria, while some chemical weapons are dismantled and the others remain protected in a safe place , massacres continue . In Lebanon, Hezbollah attacks against juxtaposed to attacks against Sunni , and south of the country ” Palestinian ” groups sporadically take over Israel. Iraq Anbar province is now almost entirely in the hands of Sunni Islamists while Baghdad has become a satellite of Tehran.
Turkey is prey to tensions due to the rapprochement between Erdogan and Iran, which strongly dislike the run from the United States by Fethullah Gulen movement, a rapidly deteriorating economic situation and that Turkish territory is home to dozens of thousands of Syrian refugees.
Iran mullahs accelerating its nuclear program , and took , and rightly , the ” Agreements” Geneva encouragement.
Russia relies on Shiite arc being (very turbulent ) recovery , and is adversely affected as Sunni Islamist attacks ( the last of which took place in Volgograd station here some) , intended to show that a threat hanging over the next Winter Olympics.
Could be added to the table during the decomposition of Venezuela in Latin America , the rise of protectionist pressures in a major part of Europe, where the effects of the U.S. economic stagnation does not end up being felt ( and not : the U.S. economy did not ” restart ” , as we say here or there).
It might be noted that, given all this, the only country where the Obama administration continues to exert intense pressure is Israel a strong and stable in the middle of what I just described democratic country , it seems intolerable for Obama administration , and it is a country that we must try to dive, if possible, to disorder and destruction.
The whole world is just beginning to pay the price of five years of Obama presidency . For now, the Obama ‘s popularity is plummeting in the United States . Polls for the elections of November 2014 were catastrophic for the Democrats. This does not mean that the Republicans will win and have at the end of the year that starts the majority in both houses of Congress ( you can count on the Republicans to see divide ), but these are encouraging signs. They are, in fact, the only way that encouraging signs on the horizon .If Obama is put out of further harm in a few months , this does not mean that what I have outlined repair because it will take , if any , time
If Obama is not put out of further harm in a few months that I have described will worsen. Considerably.
By the way : where commentators raved about Obama in 2008, and again in 2012 are ? Where are they ? I ask you .
