Days after publicly assuring NATO that President-elect Donald Trump wouldn’t make serious changes to America’s European policy, outgoing President Barack Obama is publicly making statements “urging” Trump to remain hostile toward Russia and not “cut deals” with them.
Obama’s comments mirror demands from NATO members since the US election, all of them bent out of shape at the Trump’s talk of a rapprochement with Russia. Trump has since spoken to Russian President Vladimir Putin and the two agreed to normalization of ties between their nations.
That’s not sitting well with Obama either, and he’s now insisting that the US needs to “stand up to Russia” because they view the world differently. The US and NATO have in recent months deployed some 300,000 ground troops to the Russian border.
While predictions of a Russian invasion of Eastern Europe never panned out, the US and NATO have continued to build up their military position on Russia’s border, and continued to rail against Russia over any and every perceived slight. The costly deployments would be at stake if US ties with Russia improve, which has many officials interested in maintaining the status quo by pushing Trump to remain on a hostile footing with Russia.
Can Obama explain how the US “stood” up too Russia over the last 8 years?
For what reason? They view the world differently?
Or an excuse for more weapon sales?
Obama is a transparent tool of the military industrial complex.
Obama is now part and a tool of the military complex that owes this country.
Obama is now part and a tool of the military complex that owes this country.
Go away Obomba,far away.Hey,they are remaking Gumby,where you could be a star(again).
Washington and NATO are disgusting!
The greatest threats to human life on the planet!
All to feed the west’s insatiable war industry and enrich American corporations and their shareholders.
It is beyond appalling…
Obama’s entire foreign policy consisted of making enemies and destroying them. He and his administration are mass murderers.
Greg, you’re 100% right. Obongo’s entire foreign policy consisted only of making enemies and destroying them. Libya was hit hardest when US/NATO planes bombed Tripoli, Benghazi and Muammar Gadhaffi’s convoy, allowing murderous mercenary Jihadists to catch up. Gadhaffi hid in a pipe but was pulled out by the terrorists and sodomized with a bayonet until he died.
Obongo and his “friends” – including Vice-President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton – watched the entire event, even the torture-murder of Gadhaffi; this is when Hillary quipped, “I came, I saw, he died”, followed by evil cackling. All of them are mass murderers and must face the consequences.
Obama and the neocons require a foreign enemy so as to keep the tax dollars flowing from the beleaguered middle and lower class to the military industrial complex that bleeds the country dry.
Russia will do quite nicely. And, when they’ve fouled up Russia China will also do quite nicely.
It’s time to end NATO and end U.S. deployments to Eastern Europe. That money needs to stay here at home. Let’s call it the Trump peace dividend that the Clintons should have paid out but didn’t.

There is no honesty left in this world if Obama does not return his Nobel Peace Prize. He has become the strongest advocate for war anywhere in the world.
Globalists are not giving up. They must subjugate nation-states to their “trade deals” that are in fact the new global legislature and judicial process, not subject to any national democracy. Russia is a thorn to their side, as it created years back a concept of “sovereign democracy”, that is, a country cannot have a democracy if people do not control its laws and judiciary, in fact, with the open push for open borders, globalists were well on their way to insure that we do not have a country, never mind accountable representation.
The problem for Trump are the Republican globalists — and there are plenty of them. They hide their tracks by cold-war stage managing, like McCain and company. There is no difference between them and Obama. They are owned by big business and banks that want borderless world. But that is a world of failed economies, floods of refugees, wars, terrorism, religious cults, criminals and diseases.
Time to push out not only Trotskyite globalists, but the Republican globalists as well. And then apply Trump’s Foreign Policy Strategy, in writing since April. Back to nation-states, no universal human rights, no managed trade that is presented as free trade, but in fact creates blocks and divisions in the world.
The globalists already lost, as the same rejection of their global nonsense is now practically world-wide. US has a chance to get rid of them, but it will be difficult, as they are inside all the nooks and crannies of our government. But having Michael Flynn there as national security advisor, the person who will parse through all the flow coming out of various agencies, and with his operational experience — he will be in position to sort out, and clean out, various pockets of special interests.
You’re absolutely right, Bianca, The Globalists aren’t giving up. They have to subjugate nation-states to their “trade deals” that are, in reality, the new global legislative and judicial process, not subject to any national democracy. Russia is, indeed, a thorn in these Trotskyites’ side, as it created years back a “sovereign democracy” – that is, a country that can’t have a democracy if people don’t control its laws and judiciary .. in fact, with the open push for open borders, Globalists were well on their way to ensure we don’t have a country, never mind accountable representation.
As you said, the real problem for Trump are the GOP Globalists .. and there are lots of them. They hide their tracks by stage-managing, just as McCain and company do. There’s no difference between these scumbags and Obama. They’re owned by international corporations and banks that want a borderless world. However, that’s a world of failing economies, floods of refugees, wars, terrorism, religious cults, criminals and diseases.
I totally agree. Time to push out not only the Trotskyite globalists, but also the GOP globalists. Then apply Trump’s foreign policy strategy, in writing since April. Back to nation-states, no universal human rights, no managed trade that’s presented as “free” trade, but in fact, creates blocks and divisions worldwide.
In fact, the globalists already lost, as the same rejection of their global nonsense is now practically worldwide. The US has a chance now of getting rid of them; but it’ll be difficult, as they’re inside every nook and cranny of our govt, However, having retired Gen. Michael Flynn there as national security advisor, the person who’ll sift through all the flow coming out of various agencies .. and with his operational experience, he’ll be in position to sort out, and clean out, various pockets of special interests.
The Globalist Neocons hate and fear Donald Trump; mainly, because he’ll actually do what he had pledged to do during his campaign. Trump’s no politician who’s beholden to special interests .. He’s a billionaire CEO of a huge corporation, with lots of experience in negotiating deals with other such CEO’s – both foreign and domestic.
I may be mistaken, but I do not remember any outgoing president taking a tour of our allies, and lecturing the president elect on “values” and who he should or should not cut deals with.
Obama and other globalists never use words like international law. Instead, “common values”, and “universal values and norms”, or “universal human rights” now being pushed within UN Commission on Human Rights. New globalist system and legal framework is being shaped, and what is disappointing — is to see how may countries are voting for such globalist crap, or must “abstaining” instead of pushing back on precedents that can harm them as well in the future.
If any of you want to know what global rights or global government and global justice and governance is ? All you have to do is spend a couple of months studying the trail transcripts from Milosevic’s trail in the Hague NATO international world court . Here you will find what international justice looks like . I guess he has been some what exonerated now , but several years of trail , continuous propaganda about the butcher of the Balkans ,probable poisoning , unneccessary death . Milosevic defeated the court almost every day , actually made complete fools out of the courts and the witnesses lined up against him . Milosevic would have been having the most fun in his life , If he had not been so sick . Now 10 years after he might be silently exonerated . His trail was a turning point or wakeup call on, NATO , The NWO ,and the established U.S. government for me .
I think it maybe Obama and the old establishment , neocons , NWO people that view the world differently . Putin has been a good leader for Russia and Trump promises to put America first too not NATO or the United Nations .
“International norms”. Wow, what balls. It’s almost like he doesn’t hear the words coming out of his own mouth. Now go and decide who YOU are going to drone this week.
