Vladimir Putin's NYT op-ed castrating Barack Hussein Obama - now know as "Obama the Eunuch."
Recent events surrounding Syria have prompted me to speak
directly to the American people and their political leaders.
* I'M LISTENING, VLAD... PROCEED!
Relations between us have passed through different
stages. We stood against each other during the cold war. But we were also
allies once, and defeated the Nazis together. The universal international
organization — the United Nations — was then established to prevent such
devastation from ever happening again.
The United Nations’ founders understood that decisions
affecting war and peace should happen only by consensus, and with America’s
consent the veto by Security Council permanent members was enshrined in the
United Nations Charter.
No one wants the United Nations to suffer the fate of the
League of Nations, which collapsed because it lacked real leverage. This is
possible if influential countries bypass the United Nations and take military
action without Security Council authorization.
The potential strike by the United States against Syria,
despite strong opposition from many countries and major political and religious
leaders, including the Pope, will result in more innocent victims and
escalation, potentially spreading the conflict far beyond Syria’s borders. A
strike would increase violence and unleash a new wave of terrorism. It could
undermine multilateral efforts to resolve the Iranian nuclear problem and the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict and further destabilize the Middle East and North
Africa. It could throw the entire system of international law and order out of
balance.
* HARD TO DISAGREE...
Syria is not witnessing a battle for democracy, but an
armed conflict between government and opposition in a multi-religious country.
* A TRIBAL CONFLICT AS MUCH AS A SECULAR vs. THEOCRATIC CONFLICT...
There are few champions of democracy in Syria. But there
are more than enough Qaeda fighters and extremists of all stripes battling the
government.
* YEP...
(*PURSED LIPS*)
The United States State Department has designated Al
Nusra Front and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, fighting with the
opposition, as terrorist organizations.
* YEP...
(*SIGH*)
This internal conflict, fueled by foreign weapons supplied
to the opposition, is one of the bloodiest in the world. Mercenaries from Arab
countries fighting there, and hundreds of militants from Western countries and
even Russia, are an issue of our deep concern. Might they not return to our
countries with experience acquired in Syria? After all, after fighting in
Libya, extremists moved on to Mali. This threatens us all.
(*NOD*)
From the outset, Russia has advocated peaceful dialogue
enabling Syrians to develop a compromise plan for their own future. We are not
protecting the Syrian government, but international law. We need to use the
United Nations Security Council and believe that preserving law and order in
today’s complex and turbulent world is one of the few ways to keep
international relations from sliding into chaos. The law is still the law, and
we must follow it whether we like it or not. Under current international law,
force is permitted only in self-defense or by the decision of the Security
Council. Anything else is unacceptable under the United Nations Charter and
would constitute an act of aggression.
* FRANKLY, FOLKS, THAT'S HOW I READ IT AS WELL. DO I
BELIEVE THAT THE UNITED STATES SHOULD ALWAYS SUBJUGATE ITSELF TO THIS REALITY?
NO. FRANKLY I DO NOT. IF IT IS IN THE VITAL NATIONAL INTERESTS OF THE UNITED
STATES TO DISREGARD INTERNATIONAL LAW THEN I MIGHT WELL APPLAUD SUCH ACTION.
HOWEVER... IN THIS CASE THE OPTION OBAMA SEEMS TO FAVOR CERTAINLY ISN'T! INDEED, OBAMA WOULD BE PULLING THE
"TWOFER" OF VIOLATING INTERNATIONAL LAW WHILE ALSO DAMAGING U.S.
INTERESTS IN SO DOING!
No one doubts that poison gas was used in Syria. But
there is every reason to believe it was used not by the Syrian Army, but by
opposition forces, to provoke intervention by their powerful foreign patrons,
who would be siding with the fundamentalists.
* YOU FOLKS READING THIS KNOW HE'S NOT SIMPLY TALKING OUT
HIS ASS (LIKE OBAMA OFTEN DOES) HERE, RIGHT?
Reports that militants are preparing another attack —
this time against Israel — cannot be ignored.
(*SHRUG*)
It is alarming that military intervention in internal
conflicts in foreign countries has become commonplace for the United States.
(*PURSED LIPS*)
Is it in America’s long-term interest? I doubt it.
* FOR CHRIST'S SAKE... HE'S RIGHT...!!!
Millions around the world increasingly see America not as
a model of democracy but as relying solely on brute force, cobbling coalitions
together under the slogan “you’re either with us or against us.”
* HMM... TAKING A SHOT AT DUBYA, HUH?
(*SHAKING MY FINGER TOWARDS MOSCOW*)
But force has proved ineffective and pointless.
Afghanistan is reeling, and no one can say what will happen after international
forces withdraw. Libya is divided into tribes and clans. In Iraq the civil war
continues, with dozens killed each day. In the United States, many draw an
analogy between Iraq and Syria, and ask why their government would want to
repeat recent mistakes.
No matter how targeted the strikes or how sophisticated
the weapons, civilian casualties are inevitable, including the elderly and
children, whom the strikes are meant to protect.
The world reacts by asking: if you cannot count on
international law, then you must find other ways to ensure your security. Thus
a growing number of countries seek to acquire weapons of mass destruction. This
is logical: if you have the bomb, no one will touch you. We are left with talk
of the need to strengthen non-proliferation, when in reality this is being
eroded.
* THIS... IS... TRUE...!!!
We must stop using the language of force and return to
the path of civilized diplomatic and political settlement.
* THE SAD FACT IS... OBAMA DESERVES THIS!
* FOLKS... CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT PUTIN - WHAT MOST OF THE
"ADULT" RULERS, PRESIDENTS, PRIME MINISTERS OF THE WORLD ACTUALLY
THINK OF OBAMA AND THE INCOMPETENTS HE SURROUNDS HIMSELF WITH...?!?!
A new opportunity to avoid military action has emerged in
the past few days. The United States, Russia and all members of the
international community must take advantage of the Syrian government’s
willingness to place its chemical arsenal under international control for
subsequent destruction. Judging by the statements of President Obama, the
United States sees this as an alternative to military action.
* LET'S HOPE SO!
I welcome the president’s interest in continuing the
dialogue with Russia on Syria. We must work together to keep this hope alive...
* A JESSE JACKSON REFERENCE... FROM VLADIMIR PUTIN...?!?!
(*GUFFAW*)
...as we agreed to at the Group of 8 meeting in Lough
Erne in Northern Ireland in June, and steer the discussion back toward
negotiations.
If we can avoid force against Syria, this will improve
the atmosphere in international affairs and strengthen mutual trust. It will be
our shared success and open the door to cooperation on other critical issues.
* IT'LL BE A TRIUMPH FOR PUTIN... BUT WHAT'S IMPORTANT IS
THAT AVOIDING A U.S. STRIKE AGAINST SYRIA IS IN OUR NATION'S BEST INTEREST.
My working and personal relationship with President Obama
is marked by growing trust.
(*SNORT*)
I appreciate this.
* AGAIN... IMAGINE THE CONTEMPT PUTIN MUST HAVE FOR
OBAMA...
(*JUST SHAKING MY HEAD*)
I carefully studied his address to the nation on Tuesday.
* DON'T GET ME STARTED, VLAD! (FOLKS... I'LL ADDRESS
OBAMA'S SPEECH IN DUE COURSE...)
And I would rather disagree with a case he made on
American exceptionalism, stating that the United States’ policy is “what makes
America different. It’s what makes us exceptional.” It is extremely dangerous
to encourage people to see themselves as exceptional, whatever the motivation.
There are big countries and small countries, rich and poor, those with long
democratic traditions and those still finding their way to democracy. Their
policies differ, too. We are all different, but when we ask for the Lord’s
blessings, we must not forget that God created us equal.
