In his high-profile speech to the UN General Assembly, President Obama angrily condemned a litany of rivals both domestic and international, while talking up plans to destroy ISIS and impose regime change in Syria.
As expected, Obama’s main focus was railing against Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying Putin stood for a “darker, more disordered world” because of his support for the Syrian government in its war against ISIS, and also for the civil war in Ukraine, which has been in ceasefire for half a year now.
Obama also found time to condemn China for building islands in the South China Sea, and to condemn Iran for supporting Syria and for being “anti-American,” while bragging about having the most powerful military on the planet at his command.
Obama also went after Republicans in his speech, condemning them for “demonizing” different religions, even as he himself demonized a large array of various nations he saw as posing problems for America’s “diplomatic” efforts.
President Putin offered a pretty straightforward rebuke in his own speech, lashing the US and NATO for creating a power vacuum in places like Libya, and mocking the incredibly ineffective US rebel training scheme in Syria, saying the US sees to it they’re armed and trained, and then sends them to Syria where they immediately defect to Islamist groups.
Incredibly though, President Obama followed up condemning pretty much everybody by saying he is “willing to work with them” on the Syrian War, reflecting an increasingly confused US narrative on even where they’re at on the Syrian War.
In the US during the fall of towrrs our governments two houses of Representationturned over to the Executive Branch what amounted to Dictatorial powers and powers over any future attempts to legislate by them, much the same has been done in UN that has become no more than a front for Eurocentric commercial interest who bully or assassinate by US military power or by Euro and Brit US financial institutions, and of cpurse nlatant bribery the legislative bodies of UN.
The corruption one sees.within US political system is even worse in all the UN institutions.
The theft ogf funds by members themselves anf their employees to manage programs is but organized criminal money laundering bribery andnover priceing with kickbavksbto UN purchacing is understood as cost in dealing with UN.
OMG, and they called Rove "Turd Blossom?"
Not a good show. It seems that the marionette strings are hopelessly frayed and tangled.
Well put.
Too bad the diplomats are too diplomatic to chant 'Give it back' during his speech, referring of course to his Noble Dynamite Peace Prize.
The perfect advertisement for never again electing amateurs – and the class of clowns lined up to replace him (on both sides of the political coin) are card carrying members of Amateurs "R" Us. None of them are qualified to hold office anywhere.
Depends on what you mean by amateurs. If people like McCain, Jeb Bush, and Hillary are pros, I think I'll go with amateurs.
They're all amateurs…there isn't a pro in the room and hasn't been for a large number of years.
Why does Putin always seem like the saner of the two whenever he and Obama are together at a gathering? Obama sounds like a petulant child in comparison. Can we trade leaders? We'll throw in the entire congress.
And if plan A doesn't fly, can we have a plan B, please? Throw out the entire Congress.
Yup, what we need is
Putin — Lavrov
2016
Putin always seems like the saner because he is.
take the supreme Nazi idiots too
Maybe the entire Syrian issue is out of Washington's hands. Even as Obama is feeding the standard western propaganda behind the scenes enormous pressure must be coming from every European state to stem the flood of Syrian and Iraqi refugees. Putin may be the best hope for everyone to stop the ISIS executioners. Washington rhetoric and delusion must be set aside because the reality of millions more Syrian Allawites, Druze, Christians, and secular Syrians as European refugees is imminent.
Makes a lot of sense. One pundit speculated that the failed bombing of ISIS was more a cover to bomb and weaken Assad. Maybe Europeans realized they would be the ones to pay for the American neocon agenda in the Middle East.
saying Putin stood for a “darker, more disordered world”

Translation: Putin won't go along with the New World Order
these days, dark is light, light is darkness
Wow! Obama is blaming everyone and everything, but the US
for the mess George Bush and his band of merry men created
in the Middle East….including himself.
They call those who criticize the US foreign policy "blame America firsters". Might I suggest a label for Obama and his ilk: "blame America lasters".
It is impossible for the US to craft a coherent foreign policy because every aspect of policy has to have a special exception for the "indispensable nation" and another carve out for Israel. Whether its respect for international borders, nuclear proliferation, human rights etc., there is a huge dose of hypocrisy that comes with every "policy".
The US may be the most powerful nation on earth but it represents just 5% of the human population. The remaining 95% are growing increasingly weary of American claims to leadership. Europe, which is bearing the brunt of failed US policy, is moving toward an inevitable break. Collapse in Syria means a tidal wave of refugees. Conflict with Russia over the eastern Ukraine means a further flood of refugees or perhaps much worse.
Close. The current Syria policy of the Obama administration, a high-stakes game actually, is a pay-back for the "red line" save by Putin and the Crimea. This time Putin must lose his military base in Syria. No repeat of Sevastopol.
he just wants to make sure that he have said something, now if his saying makes any sense or not is for another time, but no matter what later he will change his sayings, depending on the wind direction, to the left or right. Meanwhile he will continue with his confusing-manipulative foreign policies so as his support and thanks for Israel, Turkish, Saudis, Qatari-wahhabis to support the barbarians in Syria and Iraq continuing the ISIL barbaric wars brought upon the people of Syria, Iraq and elsewhere.
Check the stats, the Syrian Regime has killed way more people than ISIS; and Syrian Regime has been supported by USSR/Russia for years but I get it, blame America for everything.
Yeah and where are your stats coming from? It isn't just ISIS in Syria fighting the Regime. Al Nusra and Al Qaida whom all together have slaughtered over a hundred thousand Syrians. Yes, America is absolutely in great part responsible as is Saudi Arabia for the chaos and slaughter in Syria. Had the interventionist of the West stayed out of the internal affairs of Syria, Assad's forces would have won this civil war back in 2012.
The USA, bar none, is the most evil country on the planet.
Yeah, let's not get into who killed more people and what should happen to the countries and governments who are responsible.
Syria was a Good Guy when they helped with the CIA's rendition program. What changed? Not Assad.

Ah, poor little baby is having another meltdown because he constantly gets out maneuvered by Putin simply by appearing in public. You've managed to outdo even Bush the lesser as the worst president ever, live with it.
Our first nigra president. I'm thinking it could not have been otherwise.
What Obama really meant was Putin stood [by and watched] him (Obama) make a “darker, more disordered world”.
Obama can go **** himself!
US, Israel, Saudi Araba, ISIS and Al Qaeda are on the same team albeit unofficially. They are opposed by Russia, Syria and Iran.
The latter wants to maintain the status quo, and the former wants two things: greater territory for Israel and further balkanization of Israel's neighbors thus the use of ISIS and Al Qaeda.
Supporting Islamic terrorism against perceived enemies such as Russia has been a time honored tradition in the American government that started with Brzezinski under the Carter regime.
Supporting Islamic terrorism also helps the deep national security state that dominates the political landscape in the US.
More fear amomg the public through FBI planned entrapment cases also helps support the military and the politicians who are devoted to it. If they don't actually have Islamic terrorists in the US, then one can be sure the FBI will invent them.
Of course, Pope Francis is a hard act to follow, but Obama stunk the place out. It was painful to watch, mainly because I knew he was lying. Like watching reruns of Colin Powell's crap about "mobile WMD labs in Iraq". Who writes his material? Must be the gang of budding young neocons out of the State Dept. I am serious when I say that our adherence to the Israel First agenda will destroy this country – its existence must be mercilessly gotten rid of from our State Dept. -root and branch.
What a petulant, arrogant, entitled dick the US has for a president. A face-palming embarrassment. Please, God, make it stop.
February 20, 2015 America Has Been At War 93% of the Time – 222 Out of 239 Years – Since 1776
*The U.S. Has Only Been At Peace For 21 Years Total Since Its Birth*
In 2011, Danios wrote: Below, I have reproduced a year-by-year timeline of America’s wars, which reveals something quite interesting: since the United States was founded in 1776, she has been at war during 214 out of her 235 calendar years of existence. In other words, there were only 21 calendar years in which the U.S. did not wage any wars.

The vulgar hypocrite never lets up does he? Can any of you Americans please tell me (I havent got a copy of Websters) but does the english word "hypocrisy" have a different meaning in the American language?
