Obama Regime’s Hypocrisy Sets New World Record
From
the moment that Washington launched its orchestrated coup in Kiev,
Washington has been accusing Russia of “intervening in Ukraine.” This
propaganda ploy succeeded. The Western presstitute media reported
(nonexistent) Russian intervention to the exclusion of coverage of
Washington’s obvious intervention.
Having falsely accused Russia of invading Crimea, the Obama regime
now demands that Russia interfere in Crimea and prevent the referendum
set for next Sunday. Unless Russia uses force to prevent the people of
Crimea from exercising their right of self-determination, John Kerry
declared that the Obama regime will not discuss the Ukrainian situation
with Russia.So, Kerry has given Russia the green light to send in troops to prevent Crimean self-determination.
The presstitute Western
media has not noticed that out of one corner of his mouth Kerry
denounces Russia for intervening and out of the other corner of his
mouth Kerry demands that Russia intervene in behalf of Washington’s
interest and suppress Crimean self-determination.
What is the point of such an absurd demand on Russia?
The
Obama regime claims that the Crimean vote is not legal, because all of
Ukraine is not voting on Crimea’s future. When Washington stole Kosovo
from Serbia, Washington did not allow Serbia to vote on Kosovo
secession. In the upcoming Scottish vote on whether to secede from the
UK, only the Scottish are voting, not the British population.
But these normal processes established in international law cannot be permitted to Crimeans, because the vote will not support Washington’s agenda.
Clearly, an Obama regime this shameless has no shame.
The neoconservative warmongers who control the Obama regime are boasting that unless Russia prevents Crimean self-determination, Washington will use sanctions to “badly damage the Russian economy.”
Sanctions are likely to
backfire. Sanctions would damage economies of Washington’s NATO puppet
states, making them think again about providing cover for Washington’s
aggressive words and deeds. It is Europe that will pay for Washington’s
aggressive actions.
Sanctions
are likely to speed up the implementation of the BRICS negotiations to
leave the dollar system and settle their international accounts in their
own currencies. All countries with financial and economic links to the
West can be intimidated, punished, and destabilized by Washington.
National sovereignty is inconsistent with being part of the US dollar
system.
From Washington’s standpoint, the importance of sanctions is not any economic effects.
The importance is the propaganda advantage of portraying Russia as an
offending party who is punished by Washington. Not only does this
propaganda put Russia in the wrong, it also portrays Russia as
subservient to Washington.
The
Crimean government is actually elected, whereas the
Washington-installed government in Kiev is not. Here is a report on
Global Research about the “democrats” who comprise the unelected
government in Kiev: http://www.globalresearch.ca/whos-who-in-ukraines-new-semi-fascist-government-meet-the-people-the-u-s-and-eu-are-supporting/5372422
During
the Clinton, George W. Bush, and Obama regimes, Washington has
established that whatever serves Washington’s agenda is legal. Laws
inconsistent with Washington’s agenda are simply not applicable. They
are dead letter laws. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that in
violation of US law that prohibits giving financial assistance to
governments whose leaders come to power via coup or other illegal means,
Washington is offering its stooges in Kiev $1 billion to help the coup
government get up and running.
