Pig-faced Western insolence
Pravda.ru ^ | 09.02.2015 | Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey

Posted on 02/15/2015 12:35:59 PM PST by WhiskeyX

The attack on President Putin by British Foreign Secretary Phillip Hammond and the laughter and jeering during the intervention by Russian Foreign Affairs Minister Sergei Lavrov underlines the notion that the West, in general terms, is governed by cliques of incompetent, insolent upstarts who in the private sector would be unemployable.

As for Philip Hammond calling President Vladimir Putin a "tyrant" then going on to speak about dictators, then there is one word in response: Resign! Whatever his personal views, which can interest nobody, the British Foreign Secretary is head of his country's diplomacy and gratuitous, unfounded quips like that underline the notion that he is worse even at his job than his predecessor William Hague.

President Putin's popularity rating is somewhere near three times that of British Prime Minister David Cameron's. So much for democracy, but then again Mr. Hammond represents one of the three prongs of the FUKUS Axis (France-UK-US), the clique that sided with terrorists on their own lists of proscribed groups to topple the Jamahiriya Government in Libya, sided with terrorists carrying out chemicals weapons attacks in Syria, to incriminate President Assad.

So much for Hammond. A vapid, lightweight wannabe, a nobody on the world stage, a pith-headed, clottish, ill-mannered, insolent upstart with zero substance, a squeaky, fussy little nonentity whose real vocation in life is to hide behind the skirts of an Anglican priest in the belfry of some moldy church basement somewhere in rural Wales. He finds himself in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. Same thing.

“The guy writes like a drunk or retarded high school junior... but he does have a point about Kosovo.”

No, he does not. Kosovo had a right under the Former Republic of Yugoslavia to exercise its autonomous government within the Federal Government. Serbia, with guidance and support from Russian intelligence services and government in the Kremlin as a means of exacting revenge against the late Tito, usurped the autonomy of Kosovo as an excuse to engage in ethnic cleansing under the guise of suppressing a revolt. Then as now, Russia and its KGB-FSB leadership engineered a ploy to prepare for Russia’s offensive thrust deep into the Balkans with an eye towards reconquering the Ukraine, Moldova, Romania, and Bulgaria.

That almost reads like satire, a parody of the bad propaganda from the 1930's.

“Some would say the US alienation of Russia was intended to provide cover for the islamonazi invasion of the west.”

“It certainly helps keep the military focus off the Middle East.”

The Islamic assault on the West was planned in part and facilitated by the FSB and Russian government as payback for the American support of Jihadists against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan. Russia alienated the United Stats and not the other way around. With the help of Obama, the U.S. Government under the Obama Administration has all but bent over for Putin.

Of all places on earth to champion, Kosova has to be the last. Home of dope, human trafficking, terrorism, and Al Qeida all in one. That was a dark moment in US use of force.

"and with the islamonazi invasion of the west, the very least thing we needed was an alienated russia"

The surge of radical Islam does not lessen Russia's 'enemy' status.

Agreed. Nothing the US has done overseas since 1945 seems to have made a lot of sense.

Still, you got to give it up for someone who can insult
like that...

I thought at first he was describing B.Obama, except for
that last bit.

“Hmmm, well his does make a good point here.”

If you think so, consider how many of them attained their positions in the European leadership by virtue of the socialist and communist affiliations, past and present, and their past associations with the Soviet intelligence services. Look at the past criminal records and political affiliations of the principal officers at the European parliament of the EU castigated so often by Nigel Farage. Having puppets in the opposition governments like Yanukovych makes fifth columnist subversions of European governments that much easier.

“Agreed. Nothing the US has done overseas since 1945 seems to have made a lot of sense.”

Tito and his Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was a communist regime which defied domination by Stalin, the Soviet Union, and subsequent leaders of the Soviet Union. As a matter of revenge and payback for stalling the Soviet-Russian grand strategy for the conquest of the Balkans, the Kremlin and its intelligence services engineered the outbreak of a conflict in the Balkans which could serve as an opportunity to extend Russian military and political forces into control or influence in the Balkan region. The United States incurred the Russian Kremlin’s wrath for stymying their geopolitical gambit. In response, Russia’s Kremlin is using the a false narrative about the legal circumstances of Kosovo to support its fallacious claims for territories elsewhere ranging from Europe to the Sakhalin islands neighboring Japan. The U.S. response though flawed in innumerable respects is nonetheless a lawful and reasonable response to Russia’s long-term grand strategy for imperialistic conquests.

Your post #36 is interesting, and has much food for thought. Certainly US (and NATO) intervention in Kosovo weakened Russia's influence in the area. Not a bad thing.

But it also strengthened Islamic influence in the area! I don't know if that trade-off was worth it. If I were President, I would have completely stayed out of it, and let the Europeans sort it out for themselves.

He is also correct about the support for terrorists in Syria and Libya. Obama has ensured his legacy is the utter chaos and destruction in the middle east and willful disregard for the most evil terrorism to date.

I don’t know how much help Russia (Gog?) would be if push came to shove.
