Geopolitical Plate Tectonics Shifting U.S. Away From Center Stage
from The News Doctors:
The failure of the Obama administration to purge its ranks of neo-conservative holdovers and embeds from the previous Bush administration has led to a geopolitical shift of major nations and regional alliances away from the United States. The presence of and policies enacted by such neo-conservatives as Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Victoria Nuland and her counterpart for Western Hemisphere Affairs, Roberta Jacobson, have resulted in a major shift away from America by Latin America, European nations such as Germany and France, and an overall major international realignment.
And it is not just within the Obama administration ranks that neo-conservatives have done damage to the U.S. “brand”. It is unusual when Iranian and German leaders agree in a critical assessment of U.S. foreign policy. Yet, that is exactly what occurred when shortly after Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei chastised the United States for “disintegrating” after the transmittal to Iran of a letter signed by 47 Republican neocon senators. The letter guaranteed instant U.S. abrogation of any P5+1-Iran nuclear pact after Barack Obama left office.
