Barack Obama has been drawing down the size and readiness of American troops for his entire presidency. We are now at the lowest levels of troops, munitions, and preparation that we have had in decades. Yet Obama is still putting troops and weaponry in harms way, including into Syria and Afghanistan, and he is “tickling the dragons tail” by directing U.S. Navy vessels into contested waters that are patrolled by the Chinese and the Russians. Under other circumstances, that might be acceptable, but given the readiness of our military forces it seems foolhardy unless there is the desire to actually ignite a conflict that would make his departure from office a bit more tenuous.
One of the areas being contested is the South China Sea, shown in the map on page 2. The area in dispute is certainly one that could be claimed by a number of nations, and China seems unwilling to recognize that her demands are simply untenable. Obama, however, has decided to play “chicken,” and this seems particularly unnecessary and foolish given the potential ramifications. He has decided to sell weapons to one of our old enemies, a move surely designed to challenge China, but one that will provide us with little or no advantage whatsoever. Obama truly is one of the most inept and uninformed leaders regarding global politics that we have ever had. This latest move could easily backfire with catastrophic consequences.
See map and Obama’s latest international goof on page 2:
Soro’s & Obama, are INSANE, They are going to Destroy America, does Any One Care? If he is not stopped, he will Order, to have Americans, to be MURDERED.
Congress must give approval for martial law, I have researched that one along time ago. Obama been trying to become head of the UN. He also has put up any request for Hillary to be indicted, so he has other plans in play.
But then again Congress sucks…
Well he will probably back down.
I do not like Obama, but keeping International Sea Lanes open is the job of the US Navy.
DRUG TEST THIS MUSLIM F*G NOW HE IS ALWAYS HIGH ON COCAINE PERIOD
I believe congress are Muslims too.
seems Obama trying to cause a war with all this going to other countries and talking prolly sh*t about Trump

If China invades, I’ll bet Obama will write a law prohibiting making negative comments aboiut them.
