Obama's biggest success

Melanie Phillips reports that President Obama enjoyed his biggest success yet last week, as it became obvious to everyone that the fate of the western world is now in the hands of Vladimir Putin (Hat Tip: Dan F).

With the Syria deal, Obama has enabled Putin to sweep away US influence over the Middle East and make Putin himself the broker over Iran. ‘Credible US threat of force?’ Iran now has credible evidence – if any more were needed – that any such threats Obama may ever make towards it will be no more than the rustle of a paper tiger. The fate of the free world no longer rests with the US. It now rests with Putin. He and the mullahs in Iran, presented with the spectacle of the preening narcissist in the White House gazing in rapt adoration at his own reflection, are surely laughing fit to bust.

And why shouldn’t the First Narcissist preen? For he has achieved precisely what he wanted, his true goal that I described in this blog when Obama first ran for President: to extend the reach of the state over peoples’ lives at home, to emasculate the power of America abroad, and to make the free white world the slave of those he falsely characterised as the victims of that white world’s oppression.

He has achieved it, to the letter. Iran’s putative victims of its imminent nuclear arsenal of holy war against the non-Islamic world are now, terrifyingly, on their own.

Indeed he has. We have to do a lot of praying over the next 40 months that a new and markedly different leader is chosen for the United States. That's not a simple proposition. If Obama gets his way and legalizes hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants to the United States, the chances of any Republican defeating Hillary Clinton or whoever else might be the Democratic nominee will markedly diminish.

And even if a Republican is elected President, will there be anything left to save?
