re: So Russia is an evil empire trying to destroy us, yet China we must kneel to?

In normal US Presidential foreign policy there is certain diplomatic things via the State Dept that any oncoming POTUS adheres to. The very sad thing is: Obama's foreign policy is a hot mess and no one trusts the current State dept or any current government agency at this point.

Obama is hyperpartisan. Reagan shocked a lot of people by the establishments saying, 'he can't do that', and they stfu and praised him later.
