Sure to please the America hating left that elected a Marxist as our new president, a Senior Russian Political Analyst now says “Obama's victory in the presidential election marks an end to the superpower era for the United States.”
Sergei Rogov, director of the U.S. and Canada Institute says, “The U.S. presidential election has great significance. I would qualify its results as the end of an era ...of several decades when the U.S. became a superpower and attempted to emerge as the only superpower in a unipolar world after the end of the Cold War.”
Does Rogov recognize that sole Superpower status was thrust upon us when the Soviet Union, unable to compete in the market or defense spending, folded, bankrupt? Does he acknowledge that the U.S. has shown remarkable restraint as the sole Superpower, even after being attacked numerous times by radical Jihadists seeking to be the World’s Rulers?
No!
He just takes delight that seeing who Americans elected to the top office in the land will now dismantle America as a Superpower.
Rogov makes the further false assumption of, “The self-imposed role as the world's policeman has exhausted the American army, which is now unable to wage a third war against Iran or North Korea.”
Does Rogov see a need for another war? If so, why aren’t those who see the need banding together against these other despots instead of seeking to dismantle he only nation willing to confront the radical Jihadists that have even attacked his nation, Russia?
Would America have an easier time fighting terrorists had Russia joined in the effort, along with other European nations that have also been attacked by radical extremists?
I think so, but showing the long hatred of America’s freedoms, Rogov can only celebrate that thanks to Obamessiah, American Superpower era will end.
What’s left, to decide who will divvy up our country under the new Marxist rule?
In a similar regard, former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, the Red darling of the Marxist left and Democrats in America, chimes in calling for Homey to bring about “far-reaching 'perestroika' reforms to overcome the financial crisis and restore balance in the world.”
Does he not realize that Rogov said our Superpower days have ended? If what Rogov says is true, why lay it off on America to “restore balance in the world?”
Since Marxist Democrats see Socialism as the answer to the world’s problems, why does Gorbachev expect a Democratic Republic, a Capitalist Country, to “restore balance in the world?” Why aren’t all those Socialist Utopia’s of the world, Venezuela, North Korea, Cuba, Iran, China and yes, Russia not just fixing all the troubles of the world?
Could it be that Socialist leaders see their system is what is really failing, but refuse to give up their power and know that as America comes to the rescue once again, while converting to the Socialism that has failed their own countries, America will be bled dry and the world will be left with no one to oppose the Socialist elite, other than the radical Jihadists they falsely believe will quiet down once America fails?
Mikhail Khodorkovsky, imprisoned founder of the now defunct Yukos oil giant, says, “The era inaugurated by Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher 30 years ago is over.”
To a Soviet, that is probably music to their ears as both Reagan and Thatcher stood tall and opposed freedom restricting Marxism.
Further embracing Homey, Russian Muslims have said they “hope that U.S. President-elect Barack Obama will be able to improve relations between Washington and Moscow.”
Perhaps that means to abandon the anti-Iran missile shield that President Bush and Polish President Lech Kaczynski have been negotiating and Russia’s Vladimir Putin vehemently opposes, even though he has been offered to inspect the missiles to confirm they are not aimed at Russia.
Could Putin have some plans for Poland he isn’t speaking of?
Russian Muslims add that they have a “positive opinion of the newly elected U.S. president and are happy with his election,” adding, “probably because the new U.S. president has Islamic roots.”
So, America, you have elected someone who Russians see will end American Superpower days and who has pledged to “increase taxes for the rich and corporations, listen more to the country's traditional European allies, and stick to diplomatic options in dealing with Iran and other "rogue" states.”
Additionally, he has vowed to “end” the Iraq war (not win it), increase the number of troops in Afghanistan and step up peace efforts in the Middle East.
Lofty aims, but it seems I recall we went down this road some 70 years ago and all it accomplished was the bloodiest war the world had ever seen.
As Homey’s inexperience and lack of abilities come to the front, after all, he won’t be able to read off of a teleprompter when meeting with other leaders who seek only the destruction of America, preferably by peaceful means, and your paycheck sinks to where it us sanding in a 3-block long line to buy a loaf of bread, just remember, you voted for him, I didn’t.
When the next terrorist attack comes, don’t look to us, seek one of your longhaired pot smoking hippie type war protestor or Code Pinko for protection.
When the automotive manufacturers close their doors because no one is buying cars or gas and maintenance for them, after the left’s demonization of cars and the oil companies and unemployment reaches double digits again and the tax coffers have long dried up due to excessive entitlements being paid out to illegal aliens and others that could have worked but chose the easy way, march in the streets again and celebrate, you elected him.
Russia still regard America as a rival. If you take this into account you’ll understand much. America does the same, anyway.
Rogov’s text are soon going to be teleprompted to Obama Karaoke boy, so that the Soviet Communists can have a nice “feel good” monologue with the Americans when they meet him in his Moscow trips.
Well, yeah, it ended last Tuesday when America ended.
Its going to take a hell of a lot more than electing a socialist to office of the president for the US to cease being a superpower.
Wishful thinking on Putin’s part. Obama may think he is the Messiah, but if Putin so much as blinks in our direction then Congress is going to slap him silly if he does not act.
The forecast for our country is stormy folks, but the sky ain’t exactly falling.
Russia is Mexico with nukes.
Putin has just tried to make them look all tough again, and the newly launched sub he just put to sea just killed tens of people.
Inauspicious time for puffery, eh Vlad?
