Hanson's article today is so important that it deserves several posts. He brings up several insights. The most disturbing insight, however, is the consequences that Obama's self-absorbed, "I/me/mine/my team" frame of reference seems to be having for national security. The world's bad actors are now simply ignoring him. Putin just canceled his trip to the G-8 summit. Why bother to meet with Obama? Such a wimp, that Obama. After all, he has cowardly revealed to Medvedev over an unsuspected hot mic that he is ready to bow before Putin as soon as this pesky November election is out of the way. Why should Putin waste time meeting with Obama. There is nothing to negotiate with this light-weight. Obama gives him everything for nothing in exchange. So much for the "reset" button. Putin has now clearly shown how emboldened he is.
