Putin’s power play keeps the West guessing

Vladimir Putin personifies that magical moment when Russia went from being a crippled, post-Soviet state, to a relatively healthy, modern nation. Many will never forgive him for that.

Obama & Biden playing good cop, bad cop?

Published: 25 July, 2009, 22:33


Moscow says it’s hard to figure out who is in charge of US foreign policy – President Obama or his advisors – following critical comments against Russia by Vice President Joe Biden.

Obama is a consummate actor and a tool of Goldman, Sachs. People need to pay attention to what he does not what he says. Despite oral approaches to the middle east he has made no real (i.e., nonverbal) effort to disengage from either Iraq or Afghanistan and now threatens a new war in Iran. There is only one political party in the US: the Money Party. It controls both Obama, Biden, Republicans, and suppresses 3rd parties.

As I explained in a previous comment, Joe Biden has the potentiality to become the president of the USA. This could happen very quickly if the Barnum-Obama-Circus get off the tracks. Biden, Clinton, Gates and a few others of the president's advisers belong to the US capitalistic system, but not the actual president who has been choosen and placed for specific reasons (covering-up the financial US fiasco was one of them). Imagine what will be the World-governance with Biden master of America and Sarkonaparte 1er master of Europe! As I said so many times: make Russia a good example and ignore those idiots (France= 1% of mankind; EU = 6%; USA 5%; consequently: nearly 90% of humans are not citizens of those states and wish for another way to be governed. We can also add all europeans and americans who are fed-up with their system and crooks like those mentioned above). Sorry Future Generations... Sincerely. Jean-Claude Meslin PS: On July 30th I shall be in Moscow, on my way to Orenburg where I have some very dear friends. I have no credential of any kind but if anyone want to discuss of what 70 years of existence has tought me, I can spare a few hours.

Is it so hard to work out? The US has realised for now, that its plans for missile defence in terms of technical capability, cannot defeat Russia's strategic capability. The US historically has shown, it will not fight head on, if it is not under immediate threat. Especially when the action could put the homestead in imminent danger of destruction. Russia, has demonstrated that it still has the capability to wipe out the homestead. Net result, the sensible approach of the two, deciding not to lock horns with each other directly. This is the 'reset', it is a strategic one, acknowledging quite rightly that it is catastrophic for everyone, if US and Russia go at each other. However, there is still a geopolitical game to play for, and the US has not given up on world control. So given, that the strategic avenue for Russia's demise is blocked. What is the next best alternative. Well the alternatives come many fold. The first is a military option, the eat the elephant approach, by initiataing conflicts, in and around Russia, Georgia was the test vehicle for this external tactic, and the continuing US and NATO training, finacing and equiping of Chechen terrorists is another. Then there is the political approach, of using NGOs to foster political discontent in Russia, whilst at the same time working continually to undermine Russia politically on the world stage. The third is finacial, to attack the revenue flows to Russia, this is the reason for alternative hydrocarbon routes to Russia. These are the manifestations of the soft power, Clinton talked of when she came to office. The aims of the US is clear, they want global control, and are not giving up on this ideologically driven plan. Russia will feel itself more and more facing smiles form Obama and the cold steel knife driven between its ribs at the back by Biden. Russia therefore, has to be on the alert and act at all times like a grandmaster. Remembering that the US will gamble and sell anybody bar the homestead.

Please be advised that anything that comes from this administration are absolute lies. Obama is a deciever. He talks a good talk, but does not walk the walk. In short he is a liar. We here in America are under attack. As I am writting this there are German tanks rolling down the streets in Michigan. I do believe that the FEMA exercise this week is to put this nation under martial law. They are bringing in troops from Austrailia, Mexico, Canada, Great Brtitian, and our own troops. These are direct violations of are Constution, and the posse comatotus act. This passed month we have witnessed military exercises of Appachee helicopters fully armed, chinook transport choppers. C-1 30's and F-15's fully armed flying over our countrysides. For the passed month they have been training our own military to kill Americans. Just this passed week they have had our state trooper pulling Gestapo stype check points, pulling people over and searching cars with dogs and just standard style fear tactics to get the people to accept this as the statis quo.

We, here in America, would like to think that Biden's statements are part of a well coordinated, secret plan to conquer the world . But it is just loose lips Biden, a guy who says whatever pops into his head. At least the Republican Vice-President was hot! And she could see Russia from her yard.

Maybe all those strong words from Biden are in part an answer to the open letter last week, from various East-European (ex) leading figures who were angered by the Obama administration regarding defense. Second, like the Kremlin said, it's becoming quite obvious that there are two administrations in Washington. So president Obama is not the only one in the drivers seat. Frankly speaking, this became quite clear to me, when Hilary Clinton as the head of the State Department didn't attend the July top between president Medvedev and president Obama, however she had a medical excuse. We'll see how things turnout in September, when minister Lavrov meets Hilary Clinton to discuss the new commission. If the composition is the same as the Chernomyrdin- Al Gore commission it would be the Putin-Biden commission, than I would like to be a fly during there discussions. That there are global political games played by the US and his poodle EU, no doubt, military this was successful countered by Russia in August 2008. Financially, Vladimir Putin, acting as president during his time already foresaw this and put up different funds, like the Social security fund, Reserve fund. So, in many ways Russia looks financially better prepared than a lot of Western countries. It's no coincidence that a Russian company, Sberbank, is a bidder in the Western car producer Opel, which is part of GM. How does it come that I hear no one saying "What's good for GM, is good for America" anymore?

@ Count Cash, I agree. It looks as though last year's Georgia war was a result of USA attempts to encircle Russia and "cage the bear". When Russia put down Georgia in only a week (what nerve, they were supposed to distract you for a month, at least!) and Putin got in a hissing contest with Mechel, then US and international globalists attacked the ruble and pulled all kinds of capital out of the Russian economy. I was convinced of that last year, but trying to tell anybody back home about it was laughable. (I got laughed at.) As for Biden, he is the Democrat version of Sarah Palin. Entertaining and embarrassing at the same time. Does Obama even care that Biden undercuts what he says?

The real question is why hasn’t Obama fired this man? How many times must he do damage control after Biden’s verbal diarrhoea sessions? I hear that the Democrats are even going against Obama’s new healthcare plans, what kind of a party doesn’t support its president? Is Obama really that deceitful or are there forces plotting against him there? What on earth is going on in America??

@ European, no, I'm just an irked American. One who is still naive enough to think my country should act a little more like a neighbor and a little less like a gangster.

@ lolo, I think the problem with the healthcare plan is the money. Money already paid by big insurance company lobbyists to buy Congress. Money already spent on the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. And now all that money paid to those "too big to fail" banks to bail them out. Our debt level is so high that even the Democrats are getting afraid, and those "blue dog" or conservative Democrats are balking at paying for another trillion dollar program. If we had the lower debt level of 10 years ago, Obama's plan would have had easier sailing through Congress this year. As for Biden, I still don't know if Obama considers him an asset or a penance.

@ MEJanssen. I'm glad you're American, perhaps you can enlighten me. America has just agreed to pay triple the amount they used to pay for the Manas airbase in Kyrgyzstan, around $60 Million per annum. They are now negotiating a military base in Colombia for millions of dollars per annum as well, for no good reason. If money is such a problem, why are they spending so much money on other people's countries but won't spend on their own people? Better yet, why are the American people not protesting?

@ lolo - To answer your last question first, it has been a long time since the Federal Government has been answerable to the US people. Most citizens are under a spell and don't know what is going on. There are a few malcontents who want to know what is happening and refuse to be distracted by TV shows about singing, dancing, or playing games on desert islands. The malcontents are generally ignored by the TV media, which is where most of us get what passes for "news". That news is full of car chases and which celebrity got pregnant this month, never mind what US mercenaries are doing in the Caucasus or South America. On the positive side, more people are saying they get their news from the internet, but I suspect they are still a small minority. As for spending money on our own citizens, sorry, no-can-do. That could interfere with our (expensive) efforts to enforce "Pax Americana". Also, we have a nice self-image of "rugged individualism" which means, among other things, that any individual who gets government money is somehow stealing from everybody else, and any government program that helps individuals smells like socialism (which is just one step away from communism which is the end of civilization as we know it). However, just because we don't like the idea of government programs, does not mean we don't have any. We have lots, and some of the money collected does actually trickle down to some individuals. Just not very much. This is only my simplistic and idiosyncratic way of looking at my culture from the inside, so feel free to add your own observations.
