The Damn Fool in the White House!

Geopolitical conditions today are incendiary. Obama’s war on Syria rages. No end in sight looms. Washington manipulated peace talks to fail. Odds favor full scale US intervention. Doing so risks regional war.
–
In late February, Israel bombed Hezbollah targets. It did so along Lebanon’s border with Syria. Hezbollah vowed to respond “at the appropriate time.” It justifiably denounced “blatant” Israeli “aggression.” Washington and Israel partner in regional adventurism. Do Obama and Netanyahu want war on Lebanon? Are they planning regional conflict?
–
Will Iran be targeted? Will US-orchestrated Venezuelan violence continue? Will other nations be targeted for regime change?
–
The damn fool in the White House risks global war. Ukraine is a major flashpoint. Conditions today are the most dangerous since the 1962 missiles of October crisis. Jack Kennedy was president. Early in his administration he changed from cold warrior to peacemaker.
–
He wanted all nuclear weapons abolished. He favored “general and complete disarmament.” He wanted all US forces out of Vietnam by December 1965. He wanted to “splinter the CIA in a thousand pieces and scatter it to the winds.”
–
After resolving the 1962 crisis, he said he “never had the slightest intention” of confronting Cuba or Soviet Russia aggressively. The damn fool in the White House is no Jack Kennedy. Neocons infest his administration. Rogue elements make policy.
–
Ousting Ukraine’s democratically elected government was planned long before violence erupted last November. Obama partnered with neo-Nazis extremists. He’s got a tiger by the tail. Millions of Ukrainians reject them. Expect millions more to join them once their agenda becomes apparent.
–
Eastern Ukraine is largely pro-Russian. Crimeans may choose independence. East/West tensions keep escalating. The damn fool in the White House risks war. He outrageously warned Putin against intervening.
–
On Saturday, Russia’s upper house Federation Council authorized use of military forces in Crimea. Putin requested deployment permission to protect the safety of Russian nationals. On Sunday, RIA Novosti reported “(l)arge movements of Russian troops…around the (Crimean) peninsula…”
–
Western media headlines lied. They screamed Russian invasion. The CIA-linked Washington Post claimed “Russian forces seize(d) Crimea.” Neo-Nazi coup d’etat interim Ukraine president Oleksandr Turchynov accused Russia of “direct aggression against the sovereignty of Ukraine.”
–
Neocon WaPo editors headlined “Condemnation isn’t enough for Russian actions in Crimea.” “Invasion,” they screamed. They outrageously accused Putin of “provoking a separatist rebellion…”
–
Obama and EU partners “must act quickly to prevent Ukraine’s dismemberment,” they said. They support Ukraine’s illegitimate xenophobic, ultranationalist, anti-Semitic, neo-Nazi coup plotters. They demand Moscow recognize them.
–
They demand Obama order a “heavy price” otherwise. They want Western monied interests given a free hand to rape and pillage Ukraine. They barely stopped short of urging war.
–
On Saturday, Obama and Putin spoke for 90 minutes. The damn fool in the White House wrongfully accused him of breaching international law.
