Sanctions with Extreme Prejudice?

That might actually be interesting
Not so much problem solving as problem removing.

Thje average life expectancy in Zimbabwe is a shocking 37 years! The economy has collapsed, what the hell are a few more sanctions going to do to a country with no operating hospitals, a cholera epidemic, mass starvation, and a megomaniac dictator?

The only way to remove Mugabe is to get the African Union to get some troops together, march to Harare, and get Mugabe

>combine such a move with an intense diplomatic effort to persuade Russia and China not to block the initiative...

How about being honest with the unwashed?
Diplomatic efforts, intense or otherwise, are about give and take.

So what are we going to give Russia and China this time?

Considering that the ruling party in SA is more Communist than the old Soviets themselves - and I'm not kidding - the likelihood of them approving or allowing anything of the sort is nil.

0bama’s Sec. of State and her husband are quite experienced at giving the Chicoms what they want. I’m sure she can think up something.

“During talks Mr Obama has had with his top Africa advisers in recent weeks””

Are there such advisers - are they from America or Africa? Just curious!

“”but if sanctions can topple Mugabe, I favor them.””

What sanctions against any country/leader have ever worked?

Obummer just wants to make it a new State for him.

Rather than that.

One man, 1 well placed round could change a country forever.

I wonder if Obahaha believes that being America's second black president gives him some sort of cachet in dealing with Africa?

If he does; there's a surprise coming.

I doubt that Africans see Black Americans any differently than Asians see Asian-Americans or [IIRC] as the Sioux described Custer's black scouts...
Europeans of a different shade (and not even black in this instance).

Being distant cousins can be useful, and profitable, but it won't buy him any sort of command over a lunatic like Mugabe...and it'll only encourage the loons at the UN.

Wait a minute, I thought RobertMugabe was a saint who saved his beloved land from the fascism of colonialism and that white power hitlerite Ian Smith. What’s changed? I didn’t get the memo. Who takes responsibility for supporting these monsters as true democrats?

Even if Mugabe were snuffed out, the country would continue to be terrorized and plundered by the clique of Army officers who are propping him up now. Zimbabwe would continue to be a tyrannical kleptocracy.

Unless he has a relative he wants to install in Mugabe’s place I do not believe this for a minute.

Just as Mugabe destroyed Zimbabwe’s economy, this sob is hard at work destroying the economy of the United States. Before he or his ilk leave office, Hatii will have a higher standard of living than the U.S.

I don't know if there's many Rhodesians left who could afford a stay at the Ritz.

Obama’s white half is obviously racist.
