The current Western foreign policy dictat resembles a bush fire, as one issue springs up, douse it, by whatever means - generally military which of course rarely resolves the fundamental issues. Poverty, power shift, dictators, food shortage, corruption et al.
None of this, of course, is new. The history buffs can easily show us centuries of examples. What bothers me is that after the rat bag Blair and his infantile dwarves were outed, there was a brief hope that DC would bring a more level attitude to this - look closely at Afghanistan, look closely at the failures of Iraq, stand back and THINK, strategy.
Pressing insolvency appears to have negated any chance of that, instead we appear to be literally throwing the proverbial baby out with the bath water. No clear Foreign Policy, linked to Strategic Defence capability - NOT. Therefore is he delusional? Lost me thinks. Too many problems overwhelm - kill the ducks
