Now I know many will
say that Obama’s pre-democratic party happy hour cocktail party was or sent a
strong message to Putin, but in reality, his words are like mythology of the U.S. criminal justice system which
asserts that everyone is treated equally, regardless of race or class
First, the United
States need Russia more economically than Russia needs the United States.
Russia is the world’s largest supplier of Iron ore, coal, and maybe even fish.
Not to mention that in general, Russia is the largest mineral supplier and has
more than twenty percent of the world’s oil and more than fifteen percent of
the world’s coal. I would add that they also have more than 20 percent of the
world’s timber and nickel as well, and I won’t even mention Zinc, or natural gas
(did I do that?). Because when you really have a trump card to play economically,
it would be natural gas. Russia supplies
most of the Natural gas to Europe and if they decided to cut it off, it would
be a big problem for European industry, which happens to be America’s largest
trading partner. Even if Russia doesn’t cut off the gas, folk in the Central
Ukraine might, which still manifest in the same result.
Putin has masterfully
played Obama’s weakness and shown the world how empty his rhetoric is. No US
propaganda spouted from main stream media can undo this. While Obama speaks of
respecting the sovereign boarders of independent nations, he does the opposite
in Somalia, Yemen, Afghanistan, Libya, Iraq, and Pakistan. Thus any credibility in his
oratory pertaining to the Ukraine is disingenuous.
In Syria, Obama has
thrown his support behind Al Qaeda against the will and majority of the Syrian
people and in Ukraine; he has thrown his support being mostly fascist neo-Nazis.
It is well documented that most of the key positions in the newly formed Ukrainian
government have been given to neo-Nazis via the tacit financial support of the
United Sates government. I mean ask yourself, who comprises the Svoboda political party? Then, most of the
popular protest openly is against what Obama is for politically. The demands
of the Ukranian people in Kiev are anti-abortion, anti-welfare, closed
immigration, “ethnic mongrolization”, homosexuality and abortion. Yes, Obama
has thrown his backing behind the largest population of ultra-nationalist, fascist,
and racist in Europe who don’t even support his progressive belief orientation.
Now on the day that I
am about write and post this essay, we find out Putin has sent as many as 6000
troops to the Crimea and earlier on Saturday, the speaker of the Russian
State Duma Council Valentina Matvienko supported his actions. Elsewhere China has filed a case against Ukraine at the London
Court of International Arbitration for US$3 billion from Ukraine for the breach
of a loans-for-grain contract signed in 2012. Plus, the Swiss financial regulator FINMA, has started a
money-laundering investigation into ousted Ukrainian President Viktor
Yanukovych.
Truth be told, in my
ignorant opinion, the Ukraine , like Syria is a no win situation. In fact it
may evince to be 1853 all over again. And we all know what that means.
