Biden's Test

We're 130 days in and Joe Biden was right, the world is testing President Obama.

  • The North Koreans tested a serious nuke the other day and launched test missiles over Japan again.
  • Israel and Iran could go to war any day now.
  • North Korea's navy is threatening ships in the Sea of Japan.
  • Afghanistan is unresolved after eight years.
  • Hugo Chavez has declared war on capitalism generally, and the U.S. indirectly.
  • Russia and China attack our computer networks daily, threatening a cyber-war.
  • Iraq is unfinished, with much left to do.

Fortunately our apologetic President has tasked Hillary with international diplomacy.

Good grief.

On a note about North Korea specifically: We have spent decades trying to bribe, appease, and placate the Norks. What has that gotten us exactly? Aren't innocent people in Seoul and Tokyo more vulnerable than ever to the crazed ravings of a madman?
