Obama's cluelessness has reignited the Cold War, and it is getting warm.
here is a little more from the article:
You know what the problem is Americans? They do not offer a positive agenda. They say: "We are against Assad. We are against Hussein. We are against Mubarak, and so on. " And for whom do you then? States do not offer a positive solution. Our position is stronger, it is morally justified. With proper positioning of the information it produces sympathy. That's scary for some states. We must conduct counter-propaganda must clarify our position, nothing wrong with that, on the contrary - it reinforces the image of our country: to show who we are, who we are and what we offer. And we propose concrete steps.In Syria, acts and so-called anti-terrorist coalition led by the United States. Can we expect a revitalization of its actions?
It's already happened: the Americans immediately began to report on the new blow to the IG. But it was not without irony. They reported the destruction of two excavators, one motorcycle. Of course, it looks a little funny. I do not exclude that now from the coalition will begin a serious blow to the "Islamic state", because they have to show that they are also doing something. But it is nice if the militants are constantly subjected to military pressure. From the standpoint of the history of international relations, Syria has now developed a unique situation in one country two forces led military campaign against the same opponent in parallel. This has never happened before. This is the uniqueness of the current "cold war". Of course, in some areas it will be very different from the previous one, will not be such a hard division into two camps. It is no longer bipolar "Cold War" - it is multipolar.
… but we have a de facto live in a “cold war” with the United States. Not with Europe, and it is with America. …Molotov-Ribbentrop redux? and if so, what is Europe up to?
Jogged my memory to some info I need to follow on about Mineral riches in Afghanistan that are amazing...
Would not take much of a concerted effort to gain control, the current residents are not rocket scientists..
Water resources in Libya Far beyond what has been reported, part of the reason Big Q was forced out..
More value than the oil...
And multiple times more...
Lots of intrigues out there
There are those writing opinion pieces that have no idea that Syria has been in Russia’s orbit for decades. This is, completely, the Russians’ show.
ISIS says, “al-Putin Akhbar”. Those who aren’t bombed to dust, that is.
I have a serious problem with foreign language commentators reporting in English.
There is serious ambiguity in ever using the word "militants" when referring to physical conflict. It could mean anything from ISIS/ISIL, to the Southern Poverty Law Center, and the New Black Panthers...
Lavrov basically embarrassed and ridiculed John Kerry at the UN last week, making him wait well over an hour to meet, and giving a lengthy presser before a very short meeting with Kerry, that he left ANGRY.
The whole situation made Kerry look like an ass.
AS USUAL, this involves a Democrat, though, and the US Press wouldn’t DARE to even mention it.
(just IMAGINE the coverage had the Russians done this to Condaleesa Rice!) But the rest of the world’s media has.
