Come Ninevah, Come Tyre - President Barack "Ted Jason" O'bama Gets Bitch Slapped By Vladamir "KGB" Putin - Guess The Flexibility Bullshit Is Off The Table Now

[Selene]

"In Come Nineveh, Come Tyre, the new Soviet premier sends Jason a letter saying that he wants to work together to create a lasting peace. Jason, a 'lightweight and a weakling,' is 'ashamed of himself for questioning for even a moment so honorable and peace-loving a man,' and vows to 'bend over backward to assist and encourage the leader whose task was as difficult, and whose motivations were as idealistic, as his own.'"

"Thus, he unilaterally withdraws American troops all over the world. The USSR replies by invading all the countries from which the US has withdrawn and also Alaska." [sarah Palin is killed defending her home]

 

"Jason is summoned to Moscow[or Mexico] where the Soviet premier yells at him[Putin lectures O'bama], reducing him to a recluse mewling at White House portraits."

 

"Meanwhile, a liberal senator from Wyoming — and if you weren't laughing already, that's your cue — takes the opportunity to push legislation through the Senate that turns the United States into a Stalinist dictatorship with him at the helm, while the Secretary of Defense screams at Jason, "For God's sake, man, will ye no act like our leader and not like a poor wee mouse!" In the end, Jason and his liberal vice president commit suicide, and the senator-turned-dictator invites his master, the Soviet premier, to the White House to confirm that, yes, by electing a liberal as president, the American people have indeed allowed the USSR to take over the world."

'The Two Men Barely Looked at Each Other'

CBS reports that when Barack Obama and Vladimir Putin met with the press after their long private discussion, "The two men barely looked at each other. You could just feel, sort of, the tension between them. And the body language really represented how far apart the two leaders remain on the issue of Syria."

 

 

 

"It is clear that President Obama did not get an agreement from Russian president Putin [on Syria]," CBS reports.

"And interestingly," CBS adds, "Apparently President Obama got a bit of a lecture from Putin about some other failed transitions that are going on around the world."

'The Two Men Barely Looked at Each Other'

I hate to see America humbled by a power like Russia, but in this case, I will take it, if it results in hawks in Washington prevented from US military action in or on Syria. Only concerted action can do the job of outside intervention, a real concert of nations, and there isn't one. There is no taste for more Libya-style action so close to Jerusalem.

I like that the USA plays realipolitik now on Syria. Putin is due in Jerusalem and Amman, as well as Ramallah. Like the USA, Russia has a constituency and a relationship with Israel.

What Putin will hear from the Israelis and the Palestinians and the Jordanians is just what Obama told him: Face Up, Putin, Assad rule is not necessary or justified.

Look at that Putin face. Once he comes out of the Kremlin and the construct he himself has built, the bubble of 'guided democracy,' he faces up to his worst nightmares. The USA and Europe (and the remaining 'West' is far more rich, populous and powerful than Russia, and the NATO alliance is opposed to it by treaty and by arms. The world really does intend to hem him in.

The Putin face does not show the same smug arrogance as it does on State TV in Russia. It shows lockdown. The only way out for Putin is to help. What will he do after his visits to the theatre?

Obama will not respond to hawkery from any quarter in Washington. He is the most cautious military leader of late in the USA, a real conservative at lending American lives to slaughter. I hope he withstands the forces that seek to push for escalation in Syria contra Russia just now. That said, I do think belligerent war talk (as from McCain) is good and serves its purpose (freak out Russia & China). Same with raging opposition to Obama's `assumed supine stance. Russia winces when America talks like that, and I like it.

On another, oft-lunatic thread about war, Syria and Putin and the forces left over from the Cold War and the many Middle East wars are invisible to discussion -- the cockpit seems always Iran andéor some murky transnational military-economic electro-magnetic pulse mass starvation struggle (if not the giggle-worthy Beck notion of It Starts In Greece ...).

Why not entertain the thought that WWIII yes has begun, but its initial theatre will develop Greater Syria, not Iran? Shall we then stand with Obama or with Putin? With Israel, Jordan, Turkey (allies) ... or with Putin? Whose rhetoric should we applaud and ape? It seems easy to me. War rattle but otherwise let the Syrians settle. Arm if necessary and assist, but not bombs from afar.

What would you tell Putin to do that Cameron or Obama (or Reagan) would not?

++++++++++++++++++++

Meanwhile, CIA covertly vets border traffic in arms via Turkey-Syria border, and pools intelligence with Arab allies (in Doha, Riyadh, Amman). Ratchet by ratchet. NATO/USA military planners plod through the "we would never do this" scenarios.

From mad nuclear firestorms over The Temple, to calibrated two-step of covert force, ratcheting pressure via proxy.

War at your fingertips, gentlemen, but you prefer The Final Conflict with Satanic Islamic Iran?

My only reason for not wanting more USA involvement or real 'foreign intervention' of full military force, is fear. Fear of headlines like the one below becoming a memory of early days of war, rather than penultimate battles.

Headline (from Now Lebanon) reads "Nearly 170 Syrians Killed In Clashes, Activists Say. Illustration with story is the devastation of a bombed Douma, suburb of Damascus.

The USA (and OL war porn aficionados) can have more war if it wants.

What does it want?
