The Israelis Send The Champ a Message

2015-03-23

[Kanuk Free Press] When the news of Benjamin Netanyahu's reelection victory was announced I facetiously posted on my Facebook page that the Israelis had "sent Champ a two-word message and it wasn't happy birthday." It took him two days to call and congratulate Bibi.

I don't think we have ever had a President so ignorant of the Middle East and that includes the neo-cons that got George W. Bush into a war in Iraq to rid that nation of Saddam Hussein and presumably create a democracy to replace him.

That is, of course, what happened. Iraq has an elected government today that reflects the will of its people (most of 'em)...

Liberals tend to forget that Bush had actually accomplished that until The Champ pulled out all of our troops and consigned Iraq to anarchy and ISIS.

A simple understanding of the last century would presumably tell any President that the U.S. had troops all around the world for the purpose of maintaining the peace that various tyrants would challenge. As far as The Champ is concerned, the sooner America retreated to his own borders and eliminated its nuclear arsenal, the safer the world would be. Only an idiot would believe that.

To put it succinctly, The Champ has been wrong about Iraq, wrong about Syria, wrong about Egypt when he supported the Muslim Brotherhood, and is very wrong about Iran, a fact that has Israel and all the other Middle Eastern nations seriously concerned. If Putin hadn't concluded that The Champ is a fool and a weakling, he might not have invaded Ukraine and annexed the Crimea.

#2 The Bammer is neither a fool nor a weakling - he is ANTI-NATIONALIST, ANTI-US US GLOBALIST ADHERING OR FOLLOWING THE AGENDA OF SAME, even iff it means putting the US, West at EXISTENTIAL RISK.

Iff anything, he is NATION + WORLD-[RE]BUILDING as per the above.

The prob is that neither He nor US-World Globies are explaining their agenda or actions, nor are they asking the Voters = Mainstream = "the People" they proclaim to respect-n-cherish to support their agenda vee FORMAL NATIONAL VOTE/REFERENDUMS.

THEY HAVE N-O-T ANSWERED THE QUESTION HOW MUCH "SOLE" SUPERPOWER AUTHORITY-N-INFLUENCE, ETC. IS THE US SUPPOSED TO UNILATERALLY OR SELFLESSLY GIVE UP, ANDOR HOW FAR IS THE US SUPPOSED TO UNILATERALLY FALL BACK OR SELF-RETREAT ACROSS THE WORLD, ETC. SAFELY WIDOUT PUTTING ITSELF AT EXISTENTIAL RISK.

As said before, Globalism or No Globalism, Pro-US OWG-NWO or Anti-US OWG-NWO, "Sole" Superpower or OWG Co-Superpower among Many, the "Great Game" goes on irregardless of the merits - IFF THE SO-CALLED [Self?] "WEAK/DECLINING" GLOBALIST US CAN'T OR WON'T DEFEND ITS INTERESTS AND TERRITORIES, ETC. IT WILL BE TAKEN AWAY FROM THE US BY OTHER(S).

More like an intent to refocus resources on the domestic "Long March". Once you've become a sheep, you'll blend in with the other sheep in the Western Tranzi-flock.
