Hans on but ineffective. Obama has a trump card – war fatigue in the US. People do not want to send their children to war. He praises Obama for resisting both US militarism and Aipac (American Israel Public Affairs Committee), so preventing another armed conflict in the Middle East. With a hawkish Congress and with Israel and Saudi Arabia as close traditional allies this is not easy but its working. Shale gas has also given Obama a great freedom to be tougher in the region. The US and Russia should put more pressure on Iran, Saudi Arabia and Qatar to stop them giving money to rebel groups. That is all very well but petro-free or free energy technologies have been available for decades! Why depend [pretentiously] upon Shale? What appalls him most is that $1.7bn (£1bn) a year is being spent on arms, 40 per cent of which is from the US taxpayer. Quite! Since before the War between USA & Britain 1812 to 1921 - I have not seen any such war fatigue in US psyche. Is Obama likely to do a Tommy Cooper pulling out a trump card Just like that!? or proclaim On the other hans Ive got...?
