Obama in Europe on ‘Russian Bogeyman’ Tour

Exceptionalism Without Exceptional Means?

  The Obama administration wants to achieve its “pivot to Asia”, its plan to counter China’s rise, without using military force. That is not going to work. The local countries, who the U.S. wants to…

China, Politics, Russia, USA “I believe in American exceptionalism with every fiber of my being.” So there it is, straight from the lion’s mouth, as in US President Barack Obama. The rest are details: deadly details, as in the US military remaining “at the core” of the exceptional worldview; the Pentagon reserving for itself “the power to launch unilateral attacks when America’s interests are directly threatened”; eight or nine proxy wars deployed in the immediate future with no end in sight; and the most startling admission – that the “fulcrum” of US foreign policy from now on will be to curb “aggression” by Russia and China.

Obama’s BLOODBATH in Odessa and the West’s Demonization Of Putin Continues

Other images showed pro-regime elements celebrating the inferno.

At first, the United States preferred to stay in the shadows, but now they’ve exposed themselves as the leaders of this whole process.” – Russian President Vladimir Putin.
