My friend Box! See Obama with narrow room for maneuver, even when he has to lead the US out of a major crisis? See Dilma Rousseff only having to lead the country with lots of room to maneuver? The difference is US has 'rabo preso'. There is lots of boots stepping in its tail. It can't move freely to deal away with its problem. This is what will assist and speeds the country return to natural size. All diplomats can't do what they should. They have to walk on eggs not to break them. Instead of using a day to deal with issues that will help the American people he has to take care that its old Cold War friend Israel is assisted. It cannot use Oscar winning Iranian film to start a thaw with the regime and take advantage of it. No. It can't. His old Cold War friend does not accept that. If you take into consideration all the favors the US owes to others. Its promises that has to keep, it leaves very very narrow room for slow the US descent into natural size.

There is more Box! Withdrawal from Afghanistan coming sooner than anticipated. Then the 5th Fleet stationed in Bahrein. That costs mucho dinero amigo. Soon US must yeld the machete in defense costs... Those radar stations on Eastern Europe, (I am sure you area well versed guy in foreign affairs and geopolitics as most Texans are). Obama administration is leaving open the possibility of giving Moscow certain secret data on U.S. interceptor missiles due to help protect Europe from any Iranian missile strike. Complicated deal, isn't it? Then there is Turkey. (Oh by the way, just 1 hour ago, helicopter killed 12 Turkish military men in Afghanistan.) You know Turkish no longer have to play nice boys to be accepted in Europe. Which would not have been a good idea to have joined judging by the fate of Greece and Portugal. That Syria thing is difficult for them with that battle raging on. Hezbollah doesn't want Assad to go. How could they get their weapons on the ground? Refugees pouring in. Well we know who is propping Assad opposition, don't we? Pretend that is a popular uprise, Arab Spring kind of thing... As you can see those Arab Springs are not going to stop any sooner. The US is no longer in a position to go around buying good behavior of the lot around that a country with an area and population smaller than TJ's Hong Kong. And there is the Moollahs. What to do against the Moollahs? Attack them now? Uhm, too risky, Box. Once US has enough gas an oil and lesses its dependence of that troubelsome costly to keep areas, they will take the 5th fleet, the aid that buys good behaviour. Perhaps peace would ensue then, Box.
