A truly historic level of foreign policy incompetence on the part of the White House got us to this point

Peggy Noonan explains why Vladimir Putin wrote a very aggressive op-ed in the New York Times last week.
Why would Vladimir Putin take such an aggressive tone in parts of a piece supposedly addressed to Americans and supposedly explaining his views on Syria and, more largely, U.S. foreign policy? Suddenly I realized: because he’s not really writing to America. That’s not who he’s talking to. He chose as a venue a major American newspaper, but he’s writing to the world. He is telling the world he knows how to correct America, tell it off, criticize it for its conceit. And he does it right to their faces, not in a Moscow interview or a St. Petersburg speech. He is rubbing America’s nose in it for the delectation of its friends, occasional friends, foes and occasional foes. He wasn’t writing to us at all. He’s attempting to show the world he’s its reliable voice, its real leader, not those other guys. Would he have done this in the past? No. A truly historic level of foreign policy incompetence on the part of the White House got us to this point.
She's definitely got the last sentence right in so many ways.

They should give a Nobel prize for political incompetence.
He's a league on it's own.

Calling these people "incompetent" is like covering up and enabling a junkie who makes a mess of lives all around them. One needed to have heard in person, face to face, Herbert Marcuse working on students back in the day. Those students are these Obama/Hillary2016/ KhmerRouge Kerry people now. Marcuse predicted and gave directions how to take down America... exactly what they have done and will do. It is ON PURPOSE, not incompetence.

BTW, if you read about the Baader Meinhof gang in Germany, you learn that they were/are inspired by Marcuse. They went for training with the Palestinians and facilitated the Pal's attack and murder of the Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics.

So to say they are incompetent, rather than that they are Stasi Commies, in the process of destroying to take over power, just like every commie dictatorship in history... well, it promotes the commie cause by covering up the real thing that they are doing.
