While We Have Been Distracted By Trump Hysteria, Obama Has Been Easing The West Towards War With Russia ...

Clinton and Trump - not best friends (Image source: inquirer)

While mainstream media in the developed nations has been in a collective meltdown over two trivial non stories, Donald Trump's not very offensive mention of 'grabbing a woman's pussy' and the alleged robbery at gunpoint of famous - for - being - famous reality TV star Kim Kardashian, which now loooks like an insurance scam, most people have been blissfully unaware of the really big news story that has unfolded over the past week.

President Barack Hussein Obama and former secretary of state Hillary Clinton, having effectively ceded not only the middle east but eastern Europe as well to Putin through their complete ineptitude that has seen the USA convene, fund, arm, and train the most effective anti western terrorist group ever, ISIS, for the purpose of overthrowing the Assad regime in Syria and now with Assad still in power after four years of bloody and destructive civil war, as the Syrian army reinforced by Iranian ground troops and back by Russian air support, stand on the brink of victory, the Obama and his anointed successor Hillary Clinton are pushing harder than ever for a shooting war with Russia.

In the second debate of the presidential election campaign on Sunday (9 October) Democratic Party Candidate Hillary Clinton launched an astonishing and undemocratic attack on Russia, blaming President Vladimir Putin personally for the hacking of her server and leaks of damaging material. Clinton says Putin wants Trump to win and accuses the Russia of 'war crimes' in Syria. Clinton went on the offensive during the combative head-to-head showdown, apparently seething after she fell victim to leaks which she attributed to Russian hackers, without offering anything to substantiate her claim.

In her strongest attack on Russia yet, Clinton rebuked the country for its bombing of Aleppo, home to some 250,000 people (although the US backed rebels have been shelling residential areas in the government held part of the city for several years) and alleged crimes against humanity. Apparently in Clinton's view opposing the US bid for global hegemony is a crime against humanity.

"There is a determined effort by the Russian air force to destroy Aleppo in order to eliminate the last of the Syrian rebels who are really holding out against the Assad regime," she told the audience at the televised debate.

With blatant dishonesty Clinton said, "Russia hasn't paid any attention to ISIS. They're interested in keeping Assad in power." The second part of that is right, Assad has always been a Russian ally but to say Russia has ignored ISIS shows how far out of touch with reality this war worshipping death junkie is. Russia has defeated ISIS and the equally evil gang of human organ noshing head amputators, Al Nusra Front (Obama's beloved 'moderate rebels'.) She went on. 'I do support the effort to investigate for crimes - war crimes - committed by the Syrians and the Russians, and try to hold them accountable,' she told the crowd. Not a mention of the war crimes, the mass executions, mas rapes, taking of young women as sex slaves and slaughter of Syrian Jews, Christians, Alawite (Shi'ite) and Yazidi Muslims and ethnic Kurds by moderate rebels then? She also alleged that Russia wanted to see Trump in power rather than her.
"But I want to emphasize that what is at stake here is the ambitions and the aggressiveness of Russia," she said. Actually what is at stake is the success or failure of US Geopolitical ambitions.

Now, Mrs. Clinton is a bigger fool than she looks if she thinks a US versus Russia shoot up would be and easy victory for the Americans. Russia, even under the incompetent Soviet regimes was a formidable enemy and now has a far more advanced range of military hardware than the USA (although Uncle Sam is decades ahead on equal rights for gay soldiers). The Democrats (who once under Obama drew a "red line" against Assad, then immediately folded) and only last week promised a military incursion to save ISIS in Aleppo and remove Assad, and again folded when Putin said, "Come and have a go if you think you're hard enough, now see the Syrian multi-party war primarily as an excuse to import more Syrian highly trained ISIS fighters and terrorist bombers refugees" into the United States in order to destabilize the country under the guise of "humanitarianism." The power of a single heartrending propaganda photo -- whether it's this one or this one -- is amazing, but the foreign policy of great nations should not be based on sentimentality.
Vladimir Putin and his inner circle view Barack Obama with utter contempt. To the hard men in Moscow the diffident, somewhat effeminate, reputedly intellectual (although we have seen little evidence of that) president is a weakling, and the living embodiment of everything they despise about the postmodern West. Here the Kremlin mirrors most Russians, who find Obama a weak, childish and contemptible man. This is nothing new. I’ve read remarkable put-downs of the US president, from the words of highly educated Russians. Some of their comments have been earthy enough to make Donald Trump blush (they've obviously head the story that the young Obama worked as an arse prostitute to fund his drug habit), insulting, and nowhere near politically correct.

Today’s news from the middle eastern front is an Estonian report that the Russian military is sending Iskander-M missiles to Kaliningrad (a Russian enclave on the Baltic coast between Poland and Lithuania.

The Iskander-M system, called SS-26 by NATO, is the replacement of the Scud missile of American Gulf War memory. It has a range of 300 miles and can carry either a conventional or a nuclear warhead. An Iskander-M based in Kaliningrad can strike targets deep in Poland and across the whole Baltic region. Make no mistake, this is primarily an offensive weapons system.
Of course it is. As noted in the passage above, the Kremlin regards Obama as a clown, and expresses itself in the crudest possible racial terms. Having reclaimed Crimea and effectively annexed chunks of the Ukraine, the Russians have recently paused in order to consider their next moves: take Kiev, or Finlandise the Baltic states, or both?

Polish Leader Kaczynski Says European Union Must Change Or Disband


Press Agencies Agence france Presse (AFP) and Reuters reporting  that Jaroslaw Kaczynski leader of Poland’s ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party, speaking in an interview published on Monday by German Newspaper Die Welt said The European Union will collapse if it fails to reform.

With EU political leaders and bureaucrats bitterly

divided over how the political crisis caused by Britain's vote to leave the EU should be dealt with and differences widening on defence, economic and immigration

After more than a half century of calls for closer integration leading eventually to the abolition on member states and the creation of a federal superstate, many commentators now fear the former free trade bloc that has increasingly become a political entity risks disinegration.

“The continent is changing rapidly and, as I see it, not for the better,” Kaczynski was quoted as saying in German newspaper Die Welt.

"The rise of populist parties across the continent, such as the Alternative for Germany, the National Front in France and anti-European parties in the Netherlands among others could cause the EU as it is to burst," he said.


“Either we reform the EU or it collapses.”


Kaczynski’s Law and Justice party is a nationalistic , and has divided opinion with its movement that shook EU federalists when it completely ousted the previous pro - EU conservative government from Poland's parliament at the last election. Like all anti - EU, pro - national - sovereignty parties it is often described at extreme right wing by its critics although it is in no way authoritarian, has a classical liberal social outlook and it's EU policy  is built on the consolidation of power in the elected governments of member states.


Eastern European countries like Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia – known collectively as the Visegrad group, have demanded that the extension of powers vested in the unelected bureaucrats of the European Commission be reined in as a consequence of Britain’s vote to leave the bloc.


Kaczynksi said Poland had put forward in unofficial talks suggestions on how to change the EU’s treaties to strengthen nation states.
