Comment on The Belmont Club,"In thrall to the Bargain"

America’s great good fortune is that no hostile superpower stands ready to benefit from its paralysis and confusion.

China?
Russia?
OK, maybe they only count as Powers now and not Super Powers but that is semantics.

Obama is like wee Jimmy Carter, head down in the weeds while the adults move pieces on the board above him. (Apologies for the metaphor mangling)

Also Spengler is unfair to Bernard Law Montgomery. He was a difficult personality and in the end the plan failed but by every criterion his intentions were more honorable and his procedures were more professional then are those of the posturing academics and corruptocrats of this administration.

Spengler is spot on about the dynamic instability of Islam. They must conquer or die.
