President Putin of Russia has taken his well-deserved
place with those lovable jokesters, President Barack Obama and Secretary of
State Kerry of the United States, as the joke of the day, or the outright hypocrite
of the year, again with the same company.
President Putin now has the gall to call the United States
the “aggressor,” and to tell us that the proposed attack on Syria would be a
violation of international law. Now,
first let me say that I agree with President Putin that the United States is the
aggressor, and the coming attack on Syria does appear to be contrary to
accepted laws of international warfare; however, Mr. Putin makes himself the
idiot by presuming to counsel the United States against a possible Syrian
intervention. What a joke, Mr. Putin,
both your statement and yourself. After
all, how many of the former Soviet states have your forces attacked or
threatened in the years since the collapse of the former Soviet Union, Mr.
Putin? By the way, Russia (under Mr.
Putin) currently supplies over 70 percent of Syria’s weapon supply. But I am sure, Mr. Putin, those arms are
meant merely “stabilize” the Syrian government, nothing more. Sure they are.
President Obama’s joke (beside his very presidency) was
that he would end the wars in the Middle East.
Well, at first it was not a joke, but a campaign promise. Instead, Mr. Obama led the expansion of war
in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Now he
tells us that the United States must attack Syria due to that national
government’s use of chemical warfare, so that rogue governments around the
world will know they cannot follow Syria’s example without the expectation of
punitive actions from the rest of the world.
Really, Mr. Obama, is it that MUCH MORE CIVILIZED to rain missiles down
from drone aircraft? I believe that
(known) numbers of those killed by drones is upwards of 1500. But at least MISSILES were used rather than
chemical weapons; right, Mr. President?
Thank goodness for your “hope and change,” Mr. Obama.
Secretary of State Kerry told us for years in the 1970’s
that war was not the answer, and that we should end the Viet Nam War, that the
United States was attacking a smaller nation that was not a threat in any way
to this nation. Now, just over a
decade into the new century, Mr. Kerry tells us that we must attack Syria for
using chemical weapons against its citizens.
But wait a minute! Isn’t Syria a
small country halfway around the world that poses no threat in any way to the
United States? Mr. Kerry’s justification
for a US attack on Syria is that nation’s use of chemical weapons. His
assurance to us that an attack on Syria would be “incredibly small” is just “incredibly
stupid.”
So President Putin
lowers himself from a “make no bones about it” strong man to become, instead,
the third member of the three-ring circus that is debating the fate of
Syria. Yes, what a joke is the former
KGB agent and current Russian President, with his lectures to the United States
concerning “illegal acts of war.”
Congratulations, Mr. Putin, on your induction into the Joke of the Day
Club. You, Sir, are the latest joke.
