Fresh off the White House announcement that they are cancelling September’s Moscow summit, US officials are touting a growing number of “differences” with the Russian government and are reassessing their ties.
They’re sugar-coating it, of course, as the US moves are entirely prompted by administration anger at Russia granting Edward Snowden asylum, and Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov today chided the US to “act like grown-ups” if they want to make any progress diplomatically.
Maturity and US diplomacy rarely go hand-in-hand, and Russian officials were baffled at what they see as the US blowing Snowden’s asylum grant out of proportion, adding that the US hostility has virtually obliged them to continue to protect him from US persecution.
Indications are that Obama’s policy toward Russia is going to get more and more petty, as President Obama today took time out of his press conference to mock Russian Vladimir Putin’s “slouch” and to insist that Russia’s Olympics team is at a marked disadvantage because of the government’s policy on homosexuality.
This is what one gets from a US President who is nothing but a pre-Emancipation South plantation foreman owned and operated by his corporate masters and who is an obsessive narcissist as a result.
Really, Bush II is starting to look good compared to this clown…
My first reaction to cancellation of the summit was, "I'm going to take my marbles and go home. Wahhh!!"
By now everyone should know that Obama is worse then Bushism, showing disrespect for all and every law there is and in practical terms not only following Bushism path of destructions, acting against humanity and human social development, being against all and every kind of democracy, defending tyrants and alike dictatorial regimes, lying to the world about everything he has said that he will do, Yet, don't judge this man wrong , he will give you the Third World War sooner then you think and he is not kidding, because he never grow up to think as a grown up, or a politician, or even a falsified democrat, what his good at, is what you have seen him do and say, social economic that are in hand of vulture capitalism dictating the americans dreams-life's, manipulating economic ideas that are nothing but empty word as hope. Hope for what, the poverty created by the administration, the thievery of giant corporations that are not the priority of justice department to even look at, the all and every promises that were made as the closer of Guantanamo, hope for what! Third World War?
Lol, Obama is a pussy pushover, cancelling his attendance at the Moscow summit. What a child, giving in to peer-pressure like that.
America is becoming a very sick nation.
.., adding that the US hostility has virtually obliged them to continue to protect him from US persecution."
That is correct simply because of the disparity between the full might of a powerful nation and one individual. And there's not even an internationally recognized non-political crime in sight. This obligation is derived from universal humanitarian grounds, virtually recognized around the world. In other words, the more the US as a state persecutes and threatens this one individual, the more obliged most of the world will feel to take a stand against this immense abuse of state power. Even the Russian state knows they will be challenged in their own courts when they would let this pass.
OBAMA'S HANDLERS ARE going full speed..
aipac and all its little aipacs are completely behind this…
Isnt't it rather clear who is pushing US into corner on every issue around the world? What we call as neocons need to be redefined, as they are in both parties, and represent a virtual party, jerking the chains of both partiies, destroying the system from within. There is no issue on which they do not demand absolute extreme stance. On Syria, they are pushing for support of "rebels", even though these thugs have committed mass crimes against population in the most bestial manner. Pushing US into exterme in relationship with Iran. Supporting and giving political cover to the same Salafi extremism in Iraq, LIbiya, Egypt. From supporting narco-organ-trading criminals in Kosovo, to insane is coup in Egypt, horror of Libiya, Mali, Congo — name it. Why are neocons pushing US into extremism around the world, and into police state at home? So that when they take over both parties, their insane dreams of global empire will be fullfulled. And we just let them do it.
