British Prime Minister David Cameron cancelled his high-profile Amsterdam speech, officially, because of the hostage crisis in Algeria. Privately, officials say the move came because President Obama called him just hours ahead of time to browbeat him further on Britain’s future in the EU.
Cameron, who has been pushing for reform in the EU, was planning to warn that Britain was “drifting toward the exit” on the EU question and would continue to do so unless reforms were enacted.
Obama, however, called to reiterate that the US believes keeping Britain in the European Union is vital to world security and that they consider UK withdrawal for any reason unacceptable.
British officials initially sought to downplay the issue, saying Obama had only called to talk about the hostages. White House officials however were eager to go public with the warning, which US officials have repeatedly, publicly issued to Britain in recent days.
This man David Cameron is a scare crow.., England would not survive 24 hours without EU. Is just that they can be with NATO, use it to open a new market for British junks made to sale, so as the Swedish regime.., otherwise EU providing more job for the British then British vulture capitalism for British, this man job is safeguard the British vulture capitalism by the way of austerity.
Obama isn't worried about the UK. He couldn't give a rat's ass about the UK. He is afraid that UK secession will lead to Greek, Spanish, and Irish secession, and that is the end of the EU – and its banks. Remember, he does everything for the banks. It is all about the banks.
And…? What this man is trying to do is to scare everyone about England wanting to get out of EU.., and everyone scared for EU to be split over England action..,they all know about Greece wanting to get out so as Spain and more.., at the same time David Cameron trying to play Those whom are against EU and wanting to get out.., otherwise Obama is more scared losing EU as a united EU then having independent countries not being ruled by EU.., because many of europeans have a second thought about EU…, and when they are out that would be the end of US militarism cooperation with NATO…, EU was made as the alternative to US foreign policies where US can not achieve its imperialism agendas alone…, NATO is part of EU and useful both for US and EU.., Balkan war showed that they need to cooperate and once again they proved the fact in Libya.., now they are in Mali and you say that Obama doesn't give rat ass about England getting out of EU…? When it comes to bank masters ruling the black house or the white…, I didn't question this matter nor I give David Cameron credit for what he is or he dose.., he is yet another bank masters imbecile.., or if you will, the vulture capitalism government.., David Cameron so as Holland or Obama and others are working for Saudis if not Qatari or for that matter Bank of England the IMF and what is out there so what is your point…?
The UK is the US's infiltrator of EU discussions. It is cheaper to use the UK, who will do it for nothing, than to pay for agents from other countries to do the dirty work.
If UK citizens want out of the EU what is Obama going to do bomb them back into it? What am I saying as if any of the western elites give a rats ass what the people want.
The Poodle must do as told-or we start bombing in five minutes! No one defies the Empire!
The UK Poodle needs to get some bite. Chew toys might help. And if the EU goes down in flames after the UK leaves, too bad.
In fact, Obama is returning to the original US policy on the EU. What is now called the EU was seen in Washington as another strong democratic polity, maintaining peace, security and liberty in Europe and thereby contributing to American security. Kissinger messed all that up. Hell hath no fury like a professor with a pet theory and Professor K had one. He saw the world as ruled by two symmetrical blocs: the Soviet Union and its satellites and the US and its satellites. The problem was that the West European democracies saw themselves as partners, not satellites. Thus, Kissinger saw the EU as an upstart rival which was messing up his theory and, therefore, from the time he joined Nixon's staff, US policy was to undermine and hamstring the EU at every turn. That policy has continued up until now. If Obama changes it, nobody in Europe will shed any tears. Basically, all Europe has ever wanted wasd the continuation of the original policy.
The other point is that Cameron himself is strongly in favour of the EU and since the anti-EU faction in Britain is also pro-American Empire, he is probably delighted to have Obama's support, which cuts the ground from under the anti-EU faction. Indeed, he may even have solicited Obama's intervention.
Maybe Cameron can go to the United States Congress and get thunderous applause and the audience jumping to their feet reminiscent of a Nazi rally, like Netanyahu got when he bucked Obama.
"Obama, however, called to reiterate that the US believes keeping Britain in the European Union is vital to world security …"
World security? More likely multinational business security as this is all the US government is interested in.
The existence of sovereign states in the EU is an obstacle to the US government's desire to "federalise" the region. They believe this would give them only one power center to intimidate when they wanted to get their way Instead of trying to herd 27 separate governments into line.
The U.K., like Australia, is a puppet of America. When are these puppets going to realize that, if the U.S. gains world control, the puppets will have their strings cut and will have their sovereignty cancelled!
