Any suggestion that Obama’s policy’s are worth following other than that which was implemented in respect to Iran, is dangerous and stupid.

Or his Southeastern perspective of China being a threat, typical, but its based on the same prejudices that influenced Europeans to fear the Jews in Europe in the past, along with fear of communism.

Their harassment of him then began as an act of revenge with intent to discredit.
