Tuesday  17 November 2015 / Hour 1, Block D:  Victor Davis Hanson, Hoover Institution, re: Vichy, France : collaboration, cowardice, disgrace.   Before Pres Obama's petulant press conference in Turkey, VDH published an article  . . .  Hollande was  a Vichy product, reluctant to deal with banlieus; but now is the patriot.  Hollande in Washington will learn about how the French have a smaller naval carrier and the US has larger – but France is he muscular power and the US is the flabby power, Obama deprecated patriotism – made fun of people concerned about their country and those of their allies.  LK: Were we to say that any radical Muslim who killed a Westerner would lose his life, they'd understand better. People in the Middle East don't respect the US and sure don't fear it.  Obama is angrier at the GOP and Americans than at ISIS.  He said:  "No change" in his policies. He'll run against both the Democrats and the GOP?  Americans see that the US suddenly destroyed hundreds of oil tankers – what was happening a week ago??   He expects Democrats to run on both Obamacare – ouch – and now on his foreign policy.  / When Hollande goes to Moscow, meets with Putin, who's more receptive to destroying ISIS – what then?  Osama bin Laden famously spoke of "  Obama can always find a way not to do something, whereas Putin can always find a way to do something.  Europeans seeing the dangers of no internal borders – they spend <1% on defense.  Have depended on the US for 70 years.    Mene mene – maybe no NATO.  "Pls pls don't go into Estonia – that'd trigger Article 5."
