 U.S. POLICY OF INTERVENTION INCREASED DURING THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION

FAILED POLICIES HAVE LED TO CHAOS AND DISASTER

It seemed that the foreign policy of intervention increased and seemed to lack any restraint during the Obama administration. While the Bush presidents got the U.S. permanently embroiled in the politics of the middle east, it seemed that things spread into new directions during Obama. One has to wonder was this the objective of Obama and his supporters or did Obama's focus on domestic politics and the politics of race and social upheaval allow the foreign policy experts to run wild.

Much of the middle east unrest began in 2010 with what has been called the Arab spring. While political unrest occurred in most of the countries of the middle east it led to revolution in Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, and Syria. All these revolutions were supported by the United States. It led to the overthrow of Mubarak in Egypt and eventually the Muslim brotherhood came to power, it was then deposed by the Egyptian military. While radicals from the U.S. were in the streets of Egypt and eventually arrested, it was clear that the overthrow of a friendly government of Egypt was encouraged by this country. 

The revolution in Libya was accomplished by direct military intervention by U.S. and NATO countries. This country is now a failed state with actual slave markets and rival tribes contending for control. There is no sign of a stable government on the horizon. Qaddafi, who had acquiesced to all the western demands, was murdered.

The Syrian civil war disrupted the whole middle east and created chaos in Europe with the greatest migration since WW 2. The war was funded and supported by the United States and its allies, its proxy forces were mostly Islamic revolutionaries many became part of the Islamic state. While unsuccessful, this conflict is still ongoing.

Tunisia eventually became stable with a semi democratic government.

The U.S. also intervened in the elections in Israel and actually sent consultants, advisers and political operatives into the country.

Does anyone doubt that these actions were personally observed and are now in the memory of the current leaders in the middle east. While appearing friendly to the U.S. they would be fools to trust what could be in store for them.

Intervention did not confine itself to the middle-east. There was social and other groups who attempted to intervene in the Russian election in 2011 and 2012. it is believed much of his was supported by the U.S.

The Ukrainian revolution of 2014 was financed and supported by U.S. and it is reported that the U.S. spent $5 billion in the overthrow of the elected government. It was the beginning of the current Ukrainian conflict with Russia.

While many American still believe that our foreign policy is keeping us safe from foreign threats. It has in fact destroyed our standing with many and will have dire consequences in the future.

To be continued.
