The President of the United States sat down with Matthew Yglesias at Vox for an interview providing his take on US Foreign Policy.
This interview is chock full of gems. And I don’t mean the pretty shiny bauble gems either. The “gems” in this particular part of the interview have to do with our golfing President’s view on foreign policy. Here’s the first WTF face palm:
I think it is realistic for us to want to use diplomacy for setting up a rules-based system wherever we can, understanding that it’s not always going to work. If we have arms treaties in place, it doesn’t mean that you don’t have a stray like North Korea that may try to do its own thing. But you’ve reduced the number of problems that you have and the security and defense challenges that you face if you can create those norms.
North Korea is a STRAY??!! Wow. I’m sure South Korea is just going to LOVE finding out that President Obama views their very dangerous neighbor to the north on the same plane as a stray animal roaming the neighborhood. Next he goes on to inform us that we don’t have a state that is going to attack and bait us. But in the next sentence tells us that Russia might be a concern because of their nuclear arsenal. However, that’s NOT one of the real problems. Nope, its all the disorder in the world y’all!!
