| 2014-10-28 |
[Al Ahram] US President Barack ObamaWe're gonna punish our enemies and we're gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us... on Monday hailed "successful" Ukrainian elections that saw pro-Westerners score a big win in parliament, and urged Russia to ensure free and fair December ballots in the east. "Yesterday's parliamentary vote represents another important milestone in Ukraine's democratic development. We look forward to the convening of the new parliament and the quick formation of a strong, inclusive government," Obama said in a statement. |

| #1 Almost all the enterprises hailed as successes by President Obama have unfortunately rather quickly gone bankrupt or otherwise turned into disasters. Praise from Obama is like a Kiss of Death. Thus this announcement seems to be bad news for Ukrainians. The saving grace though is that the President's statement seems to be a cover for the advice in the last paragraph. An inclusive government presumably means one containing some Putin supporters, which is not going to happen. The congratulation can be construed as being contingent on accepting that advice, so may not count, and hence dire consequences for Ukrainians may not transpire or may be delayed. |
