Victor Davis Hanson gives a status report on the current state of the world:
"In the last two weeks, we learned that Bashar Assad has dismantled only 5 percent of his WMDarsenal, despite President Obama’s soaring rhetoric to the contrary. Russia violated a long-observed agreement with the U.S. about testing missiles. Iran’s take on the negotiations over its bomb program bears no resemblance to our interpretation. Chinese officials now happily leak fantastic stories about using their military to punish Japan. All that is trumped by veiled threats from the Sunni Gulf monarchies, terrified of Iran, to buy a bomb or two from Pakistan. We hear other rumors that even China thinks the new leadership in North Korea is unhinged and is not worried about friendly warnings from Beijing."
In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.
John 16:33
Frankly, the latter is the only consolation we have because the current occupant of the White House hasn't got a clue.
