Under President Barack Obama, the United States has been fundamentally transformed. From the land of the free and the home of the brave, seven years into the Obama presidency, America acts like the land of the overregulated and the home of the risk averse.
In the Middle East, the new America is treacherous, and pathetic. It is despised by its allies and scorned by its enemies.
Consider the state of America’s relations with Saudi Arabia.
Following US Secretary of State John Kerry’s trip to Vienna last week, where together with his European sidekicks he met with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammed Zarif and announced the end of the international sanctions against Iran, the top US diplomat traveled to Saudi Arabia.
The purpose of the trip was to demonstrate America’s continued commitment to its chief ally in the Persian Gulf.
It was a bluff and no one fell for it.
The deal Obama and Kerry concluded with Iran sells Saudi Arabia and the rest of the US’s allies in the Middle East down the river. Quite simply, you cannot be pro-Iranian and pro-Israel or pro-Arab Gulf states at the same time.
The Saudis know it. They have given up on America.
Kerry’s only major media appearance in the kingdom was at the US embassy. Speaking before an audience of people whose paychecks he signs, Kerry insisted emptily, “We have as solid a relationship, as clear an alliance and as strong a friendship with the kingdom of Saudi Arabia as we have ever had, and nothing has changed because we worked to eliminate a nuclear weapon with a country in the region.”

I know this is written before the IA caucus, but it is still a wonderful read. A real reason to keep praying for Cruz, because of the 3 front-runners, Cruz is really the best candidate to restore relations with our all, Israel, and to get foreign policy set in sane policy. A good reminder also of what we would likely get should we elect Trump or Rubio. Be sure to read the whole article. It’s very good!
Pray for righteousness to be restored and for the peace of Jerusalem
