Every individual is unique, but Obama is like both Chamberlain and Lenin, in that he is trying to disengage from the world and focus on internal conflict within his own country.aedens wrote:... Obama ... is no Chamberlain ...
Obama did not move to the middle before the election, instead he doubled down on statism. Obama is destroying the old structures of power, constitution limits and federalism in the United States, and replacing them with new instruments of state power centralized in the District of Columbia.
External distractions and the cost ( and perhaps even the very existence ) of effective U.S. Military Power are both threats to that change.
Obama is one election and one financial collapse, away from achieving that.
Obama is like Chamberlain and Lenin in that he does not really care about what kind of change is occurring overseas, he is consumed with change within his own country.
Lenin is reported to have signed an agreement with Germany ending World War I between Russia and Germany without even reading it.
Obama can use the money stripped from the Military in the future to continue funding the dependency on government he has created in the last four years. Obama is fighting a generational battle for hearts and minds within the United States. Obama wants generations of Americans convinced the District of Columbia can use state power to give them what they need so they can focus on what they want.
Obama will avoid war at any price to keep from draining that money away from achieving his goals of permanent change in the relationship between the American People and the government in the District of Columbia.
