The book gathers and compiles articles from the Strong Points co This book presents views chronicling the devastating effects of President Barack Obama’s foreign policy toward the Ukraine during his second term in office. It explains how his fool-hardy policy has advanced neo-Nazism, racism, hate and terror, not only in the Ukraine, but also in Europe and the United States. The book gathers and compiles articles from the Strong Points column that were written during his second term. Strong Points is a hard-hitting, poignant, direct and appealing column. It provides opinion on racial, religious, social, political, cultural, artistic and other matters from an African-American progressive perspective. The column is published weekly in several black newspapers and their online posts nationwide. You can also read Strong Points columns at the following website: http://www.jamesstrongpoints.com. The chapters of this book are arranged so as to follow the mood of black Americans and others from excitement at Obama’s election to dissatisfaction with some of his policies, from dissatisfaction with those policies to surprise at his actions, and from surprise at his actions to bone-chilling shame. The purpose of this book, then, is to explain this paradox and to determine how and why Obama moved this country from a hope to a question. The book is not, however, a scholarly attempt to decipher the issues raised. It only presents the viewpoint of the author. Consequently, this book does not claim to be a deep and exhaustive study of Obama’s foreign policy in the Ukraine. It functions as criticism only. Others—such as journalists, historians, politicians, bloggers, public school teachers and stay-at-home moms—make take the same information used in this book and elicit different conclusions. And that is wonderful, because nothing so changes society as the opinions of its citizens. We only ask that you express tolerance if you disagree with the points made. Indeed, we hope you find the arguments in this book stimulating enough to compel you to investigate them further.
