World Leaders Move To Exclude Putin From Summit Meeting

And what if the EU, particularly Germany, ever needed gas before Mr. Putin is ousted? In this proposal to exclude Russia from the G8, the US and the EU perhaps have not considered the parametric chaos of such a complex system as the global economy. They may have also missed a basic comprehension of the intricate geopolitical balance the world enjoys now, and lack any foresight of the implications of making this brutish move.

Any attempt at arriving at an analogy keeps baffling my seven year old boy who, by the way, loves to play with toy guns.

First, Khrushchev gave a priced ball to the Ukrainians. Fifty years later, his son Putin saw the Ukrainians banging each other’s heads and became worried that the ball may be damaged. Rather than ask anyone else for permission, Putin got the keepers of the ball to say that they wanted to give it back. Putin then took it back. Now his former playmate, Obama, won’t play with him. And another of Putin’s playmates, the EU, is trying to pick his pocket.

So my son goes, “let’s get all the children together and tell them they have to play nice or they will all have to write essays explaining why it’s important to get along.”

Good idea son, good idea!

I don’t recall GW Bush being excluded from the G-8 after the illegal invasion of Iraq. Why exclude Russia from any group that cares about the peace and security of the world? If so, why not the Group of Six, eliminating the US on the grounds of War Crimes (targeted assassinations personally authorized by Mr. Obama) and violations of international law (the interventions in Iraq and Afghanistan).

I am also touched by Mr. Obama’s stand on solidarity with Ukraine, which means endorsement of Svoboda and Right Sector, Nazi wannabes and limitless reservoirs of anti-Semitism.

Perhaps while at The Hague, Obama could stop by the ICC, the International Criminal Court, and turn himself in, pleading leniency by this selfless act. This devoted friend of the CIA and JSOC would set an admirable example.

By the way, does massive surveillance of your own people count as a war crime? Or is it merely a fascistic US policy falling somewhere between national and international law?

Tossing out Putin is self-righteousness to the Nth power (where N might approach somewhere in the realm of infinity). This hypocrisy has a name and its name is a crude and savage form of exceptionalism.

Who can seriously think that the Russian speakers in the Crimea who have voted to be re-annexed to Russia and the Russians who have accepted them are somehow going to reverse that decision? From where did this bizarre theory arise? What at all may be the point?

And what is the end game here? A nuclear war? Do we recall that the U.S. placed sanctions on Japan and the result was Pearl Harbor, and the nastiness that ensued?

This ramp for Mr. Obama to back his words tit for tat is childish. For every action expect a reaction until it escalates into another war with a nuclear power? And the US Democratic president is putting the world in this position?

It is bad enough the EU and the US government supported the bloody overthrow of a democratically elected president in Ukraine (and in Egypt). It is bad enough that they have given Ukraine $5 billion and another $1 billion in loan guarantees. But now there is talk of arming the Ukraine unelected government against Russia? Unbelievable!

Jack Matlock, ambassador to the USSR from 1987-1991, points out that the US has been poking its finger in Russia’s eye since the end of the Cold War.

He writes:

“President Clinton supported NATO’s bombing of Serbia without UN approval and the expansion of NATO to include former Warsaw Pact countries. Those moves seemed to violate the understanding that the US would not take advantage of the Soviet retreat from Eastern Europe.

“When terrorists attacked the US on Sept. 11, 2001, Vladimir Putin was the first foreign leader to call and offer support. He cooperated with the US when it invaded Afghanistan, and he voluntarily removed Russian bases from Cuba and Cam Ranh Bay in Vietnam.

“What did he get in return? Some meaningless praise from President GW Bush, who then delivered the diplomatic equivalent of swift kicks to the groin: further expansion of NATO in the Baltics and the Balkans, and plans for American bases there; withdrawal from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty; invasion of Iraq without UN approval; overt participation in the color revolutions in Ukraine, Georgia and Kyrgyzstan; and then, probing some of the firmest red lines any Russian leader would draw, talk of taking Georgia and Ukraine into NATO.

“Americans, heritors of the Monroe Doctrine, should have understood that Russia would be hypersensitive to foreign-dominated military alliances approaching or touching its borders.”

This is on-becoming comedy. Seven world leaders (but not including leaders from China, India, Brazil or South Africa) refuse to let Putin sit at their lunch table. Is this the real face of Ozz the Great and Terrible? How long can the Western Media go without noticing that the Emperor is not in fact dressed. He is as naked as the day he was born.
