Geopolitical mosaic: militants run from Aleppo, and Buchanan said Obama's wars are naive, and America will have to get out of the Middle East
According to British journalists, the US government was notified of impending terrorist attacks near the US embassy in Benghazi almost two days before the tragedy. But diplomats did not receive instructions on additional precautionary measures. The security of the embassy was not strengthened.
British journalists also note that during the attack on the US embassy in Benghazi, secret documents were missing from the building, including contracts for the supply of oil to Libya and lists of Libyans cooperating with Washington.
However, according to the Business Insider, the White House has already denied the information published in the Independent. From Washington received a statement that they did not know anything about the planned terrorist attacks in the Middle East.
Of course, let's add on our own, Libya, like Egypt, and Tunisia, and other states that have passed through the Arab spring, inspired and supported by the United States and NATO, are all great friends of America. If Obama, with the assistance of the late K. Stevens, helped build Libyans a democracy, how could he have expected such ingratitude from the Libyans? Either Obama - indeed the secret Islamist, which was written in the last "The results of the week", or he is really extremely naive in foreign policy, about which both Europeans and Americans are now openly discussing. However, in the same way J. Bush and his predecessors, who were regularly noted in the Middle East, were “naive”.
Nakula is afraid. Nakula Basili Nakula, one of the creators of the film “The Innocence of Muslims”, which provoked massive anti-American speeches, told the police that he did not want to return to his home in California, and disappeared in an unknown direction, reported on Sunday RIA News" with reference to the Associated Press agency.
On the eve of Mr. Nakula was taken by police for questioning - in connection with the violation of probation after a conviction for fraud. 55-year-old Californian was not detained, but appeared voluntarily. The paparazzi managed to capture the moment, as Nakula after the interrogation was escorted by the police. The author of the film hid his face, he pulled a cap over his head, put on his glasses, and wrapped his face in a scarf. Sheriff's assistants took Nakula out of the police station in an unknown direction.
“He left, we do not know where he is. Nakula said he was not going to return to his home, ”the agency quotes Los Angeles County Deputy Sheriff Steve Whitmore as saying.
Until recently, Nakula lived in the town of Seritos in southern California. Now he is probably hiding somewhere where no one will recognize him.
The crew of the “Innocence of Muslims” stated that the producers of the film simply “used” them. The English soundtrack was superimposed upon completion of the work on the film; it does not match the original script. When the name of the prophet Mohammed is heard in the film, the actors are either not visible in the frame, or their articulation does not match the sound.
Nakula himself does not deny that he provided organizational support to the creators of the film, but claims that he did not direct the film.
Terry Jones was not allowed into the FRG, and Sharia court is waiting for him. As reported yesterday RIA News" With reference to Stern, the German Foreign Ministry against the backdrop of mass protests of Muslims against the appearance on the Internet of a film parody of the Prophet Mohammed banned entry to Germany by Terry Jones, an American pastor known for anti-Islamic sentiments.
Earlier, the ultra-right organization Pro Deutschland invited Mr. Jones to visit the Federal Republic of Germany.
According to representatives of the German Foreign Ministry, the entry of the American pastor into Germany "is contrary to the interests of maintaining public order." The decision to ban was made on the basis of the Schengen Agreement, the migration legislation of Germany and in coordination with the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the country.
It is reported that at present, thousands of Pakistanis participating in protests in Islamabad, as well as in Peshawar, Lahore, Karachi and other cities, are demanding the extradition of an American pastor: a Sharia court awaits him.
Boiling East. In the Arab countries, unrest continues because of the scandalous film “The Innocence of Muslims”. Pastor Terry Jones (who produced the film) added fuel to the fire. This Mr. said he was going to show his parishioners a fragment of the painting - right during the service, reports RIA News".
One of the first thousands protest actions was held on 11 in September in Cairo - the US flag was burned in front of the embassy, and on one of the pillars near the embassy the participants of the protest rally planted a black flag with the words: "There is no God but Allah and Mohammed is his prophet."
September 12 attacked the US Consulate General in the Libyan Benghazi. People fired at the building with grenade launchers, penetrated the territory of the diplomatic department and set fire to the building. Five members of the consulate general were killed, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens.
On September 12, demonstrations continued outside the American Consulate in Cairo, where the Muslim Brotherhood set the tone.
On the same day, a protest began at the US embassy in Tunisia. Police used tear gas and rubber batons to disperse demonstrators.
September 13 demonstrators in Cairo again tried to storm the American embassy. The attack was repelled by the police. 30 people were injured in the protest: 16 demonstrators and three policemen were wounded, as well as Egyptian military 11, who helped the police to restore order.
In Yemen, too, was a demonstration against the film. Here, protesters tried to storm the US embassy in Sanaa. The demonstrators infiltrated the embassy and set fire to several vehicles there. Security officers began to shoot in the air. As a result of the assault, one person died, dozens were injured.
Protests in India. Anti-American protests caused by the famous film, spread to India. On Friday evening, infuriated Muslims attacked the US diplomatic mission in India, reports NEWSru.com with reference to ITAR-TASS.
Several hundred Muslims in India threw stones at the US Consulate General in Chennai in the state of Tamil Nadu and smashed windows there. 86 man has been delayed. The incident occurred despite the increase on the eve of the protection of American diplomatic missions in the country.
The whole world is protesting. Protests against the “Innocence of Muslims” spread to Europe. Green flags and banners with anti-American requirements appeared in London, Copenhagen and Antwerp. Police detain hundreds of people. As for the countries of Africa and Asia, there the protests are becoming stronger every day. This was told by Alexey Kupriyanov ("Vesti").
In Antwerp, the angry crowd had to be stopped by the police, more than two hundred people were arrested. In Denmark, protesters chanted “Allah is Great” in front of the US Embassy. Islamic radicals are calling for unrest in the Netherlands. And in Britain, a longtime ally of the United States, a crowd of disgruntled gathered around the American embassy. “They thought that Muslims would simply swallow this insult,” protester Nazrin Nawaz said. - We answer - no! Do not expect that you will insult our beliefs and not get an adequate response! We are here to appeal to Muslims: express your protest! Not through violence - we cannot accept or justify it. But we will not be silent and agree with the insult of our faith either! ”
A storm is raging over Asia. Students took to the streets in Istanbul. In Karachi, a mob attempted to break into the American consulate. There are also victims - in Hyderabad one person died. Now anti-American protests are going on in Egypt, Yemen, Sudan, Tunisia, India and Nigeria.
All the countries of the "Arab Spring", we add, were noted in the dislike of America.
Hezbollah will also protest. The leader of the Hezbollah movement, Hassan Nasrallah, called on the Lebanese to hold a week of mass actions against the movie “The Innocence of Muslims”. Reports about it "Lenta.ru" with reference to France-Presse.
The whole world, Nasrallah said, "should know that the Prophet has followers who will not be silent in response to insults." The leader of Hezbollah expressed the opinion that protests should be held throughout Lebanon and called for a week to hold actions in five different cities in the south and east of the country, mostly populated by Shiites.
Nasrallah’s statement, Lenta notes, sounded a few hours after Pope Benedict XVI left Lebanon. The leader of Hezbollah noted that he postponed his call for protests until the pontiff left.
Parrots from the European Parliament. The European Parliament has once again demanded the resignation of Syrian President Bashar Assad, and at the same time more active actions by the international community aimed at a political resolution of the Syrian conflict. This is stated in the resolution adopted on Thursday on Syria, reports Rosbalt.
European deputies, as if reading texts a year ago, condemned the “indiscriminate use of military force” by the Assad regime against the civilian population, the killing of women and children, mass executions in villages, and others.
The resolution, of course, expresses regret that the members of the UN Security Council were unable to adopt a resolution calling for an end to the "massacre" in Syria. The text also contains an appeal to Russia and China to show responsibility and support the document.
Thus, let us add on our own, even the lessons of Middle Eastern democracy, taught to the West primarily by Libyans, were not properly perceived in the EU. The main trouble of both Europe and America is the utter inability to admit their mistakes. And recognize publicly. It would be great if Comrade Obama went out onto the balcony of the White House and told his pool to journalists: “America no longer wants to be a hegemon. Washington has been doing bad things for many years. We repent, forgive us. "
But, as Rabinovich’s character would say, “you won’t wait!” Instead of abandoning the role of hegemon and displaying Christian humility, the United States sent a couple of warships with Tomahawks and a couple of hundred Marines to the shores of Libya. With whom these warriors will fight, it is not yet clear. Probably, now America will have to start a new revolution in Libya - against those who once overthrew Gaddafi, and now killed K. Stevens. At the same time, it is necessary to reconsider our friendship with other countries of the “Arab spring”, primarily with Egypt.
Already revised.
Egypt is not our friend, enemy or ally. Who are we to Egypt? After the Egyptians attacked the US embassy in Cairo, the American authorities decided not to consider Egypt to be their ally. This was directly stated by President Barack Obama, reports Rosbaltreferring to online media. According to him, America will not consider the Egyptians and enemies. “It seems to me that we need to look at how they will react to the incident. Wait for a response to our demands for the responsibility to protect the embassy and its staff, ” Rosbalt Obama's words.
But if Egypt does not take on the aforementioned responsibility, then this "will become a big problem."
Then, we add from ourselves, and it will become clear who Egypt is for America: it’s just not an ally, not at all a friend, or even a hardened enemy.
Now back to Syria.
The rebels are moving from Aleppo to the Turkish side. As passed yesterday correspondent ITAR-TASS Dmitry Zelenin With reference to Al-Watan, the anti-terrorist operation in the northern capital of Syria is nearing its end. Government troops are advancing, and militants are fleeing from the northern and eastern regions of Aleppo towards the Turkish border.
"Our valiant armed forces pursue the enemy and inflict tangible losses on him," the military communique says.
SANA reports that the army units have completed the stripping of the Aleppo quarter of Maidan. Militants tried to escape from the environment, disguised themselves in the form of the Syrian military, but were found and destroyed.
The SAR Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent a message to the UN Security Council, which contains evidence of the involvement of the Turkish authorities in the activities of terrorist groups in Syria. It states that Turkey “allowed it to cross the border and opened its airports in front of thousands of mercenaries who participated in hostilities, killed civilians and carried out sabotage”. As a result, damage was caused to state institutions, industrial facilities and educational institutions, infrastructure, communications, oil and gas pipelines were damaged in a number of places. Camps for training and arming terrorists are located on Turkish territory. The Syrian Foreign Ministry considers Ankara’s behavior “as a gross violation of international law and the principles of good neighborliness”.
Thus, we add from ourselves, the militants are defeated and retreat to the border, to where they are fed and cured, and Bashar Asad fulfills his promise and crushes international terrorism, which was entrenched in Aleppo.
Comrade Brahimi spoke to the "colonels." UN and LAS special envoy for Syria Lakhdar Brahimi held talks on Skype with representatives of the insurgency, reports RIA News" with reference to France Press.
“The conversation took place between Mr. Brahimi, FSA Colonel Kassem Saaaddin and FSA Colonel Khaled Hobus and me,” the French SSA Colonel Abdel Jabar al-Okaidi quoted in Aleppo as saying.
The parties discussed, in particular, the “general situation in Syria”.
Colonel SSA al-Okaidi, commenting later on the talks, expressed the opinion that the mission of the new UN special envoy and the Arab League is doomed to failure, as is the case with Kofi Annan. A spokesman for the SSA said the rebels would not be held responsible for the failure of this mission.
Democracy in Turkish. In the Turkish city of Antakya, about 1,500 activists of the Workers Party and the Union of Turkish Youth staged a “Peace and Democracy Festival” - an unauthorized protest rally against the government’s anti-Syrian policy. The police used tear gas, and some of the protesters responded with stones. Two people suffered.
Protesters chanted slogans calling for the closure of terrorist camps and their expulsion from the country. People shouted: “Turkey and Syria are brothers!” And also carried portraits of Bashar al-Assad, they convey "Vesti" with reference to ITAR-TASS.
Another six months - and the bomb is ready. In about six months, Iran will come close to creating a nuclear weapons. This opinion was expressed in an interview with US media Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, reports from New York correspondent ITAR-TASS Andrey Bekrenev.
“Iran is progressing very rapidly in enriching the uranium needed to build a nuclear bomb. After about six months, they’ll do 90 percent of the work needed, ”he said.
Netanyahu again spoke of the "red line", that is, he called on the United States to establish a rigid framework for Iran, going beyond which would mean striking its nuclear facilities: "It is necessary to hold the" red line "for them right now, before it is too late . If they cross it, it will have unimaginable consequences. ”
With his loud public statements, Netanyahu, we add, is probably trying to get aggressive promises from the United States to Tehran. However, the Obama administration, which lacks problems without Iran, still opposes Israel’s “preemptive strike”. Such a blow will plunge the entire Middle East into a nightmare of war, from which the United States will be difficult to distance itself. Moreover, it is quite possible that Israel itself will fight Israel’s ally, the very countries where, through the Arab Spring, democratic elected governments came to power, I mean the Islamists, whom the White House recently congratulated on the election victory.
Earlier, the American authorities, notes the correspondent. ITAR-TASS, said that, according to their assessment, Iran is currently not on the verge of developing nuclear weapons and the country may need more than a year to do so. American knowledgeable experts generally state that the Iranian authorities have not made a final decision on the creation of a nuclear bomb.
Netanyahu knows what will happen next year. The Israeli Prime Minister, in an interview with the local English-language newspaper, The Jerusalem Post, expressed the hope that he would be able to congratulate his fellow citizens on the resolution of the Iranian nuclear issue a year later, reports RIA News".
The head of government said Israel’s right to stand up for itself, and also rejected accusations that it talks a lot about Israel’s differences with the United States over Iran in order to reduce the chances of re-electing President Barack Obama and helping Republican Mitt Romney, who is perceived as pro-Israel candidate.
“At the national level, the main thing I regret is that we have not stopped Iran yet. We have done a lot, but we have not reached this goal yet. When you interview me next year, I hope I can give you another answer, ”said Netanyahu in an interview on the occasion of the Jewish new year, Rosh Hashanah.
Then he repeated, saying about his favorite "red lines".
It seems that Netanyahu is pretty tired of his “lines” to Washington. US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, in an interview with Foreign Policy, said that "the fact is that the presidents of the United States, the prime ministers of Israel or any other country do not operate with small red lines in order to determine how to act."
According to Panetta, "they are presented with facts relating to the intentions of another country, and then they weigh what actions are necessary to solve a particular situation." The minister added that "the red lines are such political arguments to try to squeeze people into a corner."
NATO members once again missed. In the Afghan province of Laghman, as a result of an airstrike of NATO forces, at least 8 people died and about 10 were injured (mostly women), "Vesti".
The military operation was aimed against the Taliban. In NATO, they say that more than 30 bandits were destroyed, but, as usual, they do not exclude that civilians could become victims.
This operation was probably related to the assassination of NATO soldiers by 4 policemen.
"But he is an Afghan and knows that the Americans are enemies." In Afghanistan, a policeman killed four NATO troops, 16 reported September "Lenta.ru" with reference to France-Presse.
The clash occurred at a checkpoint in southern Afghanistan, in the province of Zabul. All killed spetsznavtsy were Americans. Also during the conflict, one Afghan policeman was shot dead.
As the Associated Press was told by Taliban spokesman Kari Yusef Ahmadi, the policeman who killed the special forces did not belong to the Taliban. “But he is an Afghan and knows that the Americans are enemies,” he commented on the incident.
Earlier in the day, reports Lenta, in Helmand province in southern Afghanistan, a man in the form of the Afghan police shot and killed two British soldiers.
Military operations near Prince Harry. Militants who attacked a NATO military base in Helmand province in southern Afghanistan on Friday, where British prince Harry is serving, destroyed 6 fighters and other equipment. On this Sunday reported on the site of CNN, reports "Lenta.ru".
The attack on the NATO complex, which unites the British Camp Bastion and the American Camp Leserneck, was carried out by 15 men wearing the uniform of the US Army. They destroyed six British AV-8B Harrier fighters, damaged two others, disabled 6 refueling complexes and damaged six hangars.
Militants were armed with grenade launchers and machine guns and were well prepared.
As a result, 14 militants were killed, one was wounded and captured. Two US marines were killed, eight soldiers and one civilian employee were injured.
The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack. Moreover, the militants, in their words, this revenge for the appearance of anti-Islamic film in the United States.
China and Japan: escalation of island conflict. 14 September six Chinese warships for a few hours went into the water, which Japan considers its own. The Japanese did not attack the Chinese, but by radio communication they demanded to leave the zone, and the Chinese ambassador was summoned to the Foreign Ministry, where they protested, they convey "Vesti" (Dmitry Sobiev). In the island conflict, China, as noted in the report, for the first time moved to action.
“After the Chinese ships in 4: 53 in the morning invaded our territorial waters, we created an information center as part of a crisis headquarters under the leadership of the Prime Minister. Then at 6: 18, another Chinese ship crossed the border, and we mobilized additional forces to gather information, ”said Osamu Fujimura, Secretary of the Japanese Cabinet of Ministers.
The reason for the next outbreak of anti-Japanese speeches in China was the decision of Tokyo to buy back the disputed islands from private owners. A crowd of nationalists gathered in front of the Japanese Embassy in Beijing, demanding that the archipelago be beaten off even by force. At the same time, ships appeared in the East China Sea. Thus, the dispute around the islands seems to be moving into the area of military maneuvers.
According to the "Rossiyskaya Gazeta", citing ITAR-TASS, the number of demonstrators protesting on September 14 in Beijing was about five thousand. The protest participants were holding Chinese flags and posters with inscriptions: “Protect China’s Diaoyu Islands”, “Return Illegally Captured Territories”, “Protect Native Chinese Lands”.
"Lifenews" note that the conflict broke out after the authorities of the rising sun bought 11 from the five Senkaku islands from private owners on 3 in September, thereby nationalizing them. In connection with the Chinese provocations in Tokyo, organized a crisis headquarters. However, no response has yet been taken.
"The long-standing dispute over the ownership of the Senkaku Islands located in the South China Sea and under the jurisdiction of Tokyo (the Chinese name is Diaoyu)," writes Sergey Strokan (Kommersant), - reached a climax. On Saturday, a crowd of thousands of supporters of the return to Beijing of "primordially Chinese territories" began to storm the Japanese embassy, throwing stones, bottles, and other improvised means at the embassy: eggs, bananas, tomatoes.
At the cost of considerable efforts, the fighters of the divisions of the Chinese police managed to prevent the seizure of the embassy. However, yesterday, a huge crowd of activists for the return of the disputed islands gathered around the embassy’s walls: they carried portraits of the founder of Communist China, Mao Zedong. Protesters filled the nearby streets, where there are popular Japanese restaurants, which in order to avoid pogroms, hastily hung out Chinese flags and were taken under police protection.
Anti-Japanese actions were not limited to Beijing and another Chinese metropolis - Shanghai, where the consulate general of Japan is located. Demonstrations of Chinese patriotism, in which tens of thousands of people took part, swept across the country, in most cases going beyond peaceful actions.
Protesters expressed their protest, smashing everything that has anything to do with Japan: they burned flags of the rising sun, turned over Japanese cars, among which were even Honda policemen, beat windows of Japanese restaurants and shops, organized pogroms in representative offices of Japanese companies ".
on September 16 "BBC Russian Service" conveyed that the head of the Pentagon, Leon Panetta, made a statement, which was caused by the ongoing anti-Japanese demonstrations in China.
The US Secretary of Defense said that provocative speeches could lead to a political mistake that would result in a conflict.
Meanwhile, the situation continues to heat up. Japanese schools and enterprises in China suspended their work until Wednesday. The reason was the riots and anti-Japanese speeches, conveyed today correspondent RIA "News" Ksenia Nakareferring to the NHK channel.
On weekends, anti-Japanese performances were held in 85 cities in China. Japanese schools in Beijing and Guangzhou are temporarily closed. Three Panasonic factories were attacked by the demonstrators, so management announced Monday and Tuesday the weekend. A similar decision was made by the management of “Canon” in an enterprise in the Kwantung Region. Many Japanese supermarkets and supermarkets also announced a "weekend".
There were also reports that Japanese families living in China are returning to Japan.
Elections and 201-I base. The Tajik president will make concessions during the negotiations on the 201 of the Russian military base. This point of view was expressed by military expert Hikmatullo Izzatov, reports Rosbalt with reference to the portal Avesta.Tj.
According to him, the Tajik side is forced to be compliant with the latest events in the country: “After the Khorog conflict, the Tajik side will make certain concessions to sign this agreement, since the course of recent events had a significant impact on our positions.”
Also, President Rahmon needs support from Russia during the election campaign in Tajikistan. Therefore, the expert believes, “the final decision on the Tajik-Russian negotiations will be made during the visit of President Putin to Tajikistan, and the final version of the document will be signed closer to the presidential elections in the Republic of Tajikistan”.
NATO saw a partner in Russia. NATO sees Russia as a partner, despite some differences of opinion, Deputy Secretary General of the North Atlantic Alliance Alexander Vershbow said in an interview with the Latvian newspaper Hour, reports from Riga correspondent RIA "News" Vadim Radionov.
“We see a partner in Russia. This is a country with which we have many common strategic interests. While we have not yet managed to reach the level of strategic partnership, what we hoped for when we signed with Russia the basic act on mutual relations, cooperation and security in Paris in 1997. There are several points on which our views differ. In 1990, it was Kosovo, most recently Libya. At the same time, close cooperation in Afghanistan continues between us: transit agreements are in place, a project is underway to train Afghan helicopter technicians ... Both sides are interested in having responsible leaders in this country, ”said Vershbow.
In an interview with the publication, the Deputy Secretary General of NATO also expressed the hope that the alliance and the Russian Federation will be able to reach mutual understanding on missile defense in Europe. According to him, the deployment of a missile defense system in Eastern Europe does not threaten Russia.
So, let me add, Russia and NATO are almost twins who have slightly quarreled because of
The aggressors declassified. The US authorities declassified documents from which it becomes clear: the US was preparing for a nuclear war 30 years ago, writes Anton Podlesny (Utro.ru).
Presidential Directive No. XXUMX called for a "limited" atomic attack on the Soviet Union. This terrible document passed all the “nuclear” powers in the hands of President Jimmy Carter.
As stated in the published materials, the US government believed: the use of nuclear weapons against conventional enemy forces does not promise any such “apocalypse”. Presidential directive suggests that the United States seriously thought out options for a nuclear strike on the USSR. The document was associated with the introduction of Soviet troops in Afghanistan.
The fate of the world generally hangs in the balance, add on our own - and not by the mercy of the asteroid Apophis, but because of the nuclear "buttons" and "briefcases".
During the presidency of the same Jimmy Carter, Utro.ru notes, on the night of 2 on 3 June 1980, an employee of the United Air Defense Command of the North American contingent saw a message on the device about 220 attacking missiles flying from the USSR. The information was false, but the alarm spread throughout America, and bombers with atomic bombs aboard were raised into the air.
America staggered.
Occupants of Wall Street. A year ago, the Occupy Wall Street anti-corporate public movement was created in New York. September 17 "invaders" will celebrate the first anniversary: they promise to arrange a campaign on the New York Stock Exchange, reports from New York correspondent ITAR-TASS Alexander Bekreneva.
Demonstrators intend to descend into the financial center of the city in 7: 00 local time (15: 00 MSK), surround the building of the exchange and prevent brokers from rushing to work to get there. The protesters are also going to arrange "sit-ins" at intersections throughout the business district of the city. Markets and meetings dedicated to the anniversary will also be held in 30 cities around the world. The main slogan of the demonstrators is still “We are 99 percent!” This motto expresses the indignation of the “occupiers” by the fact that most of the national wealth is controlled by the 1 percentage of the American population.
True, there are articles in the media that the movement is "dead." However, the protesters deny it: they changed tactics. They no longer occupy new parks and squares, but arrange large-scale demonstrations around the world, coordinating actions through social networks.
Thousands of teachers are on strike in Chicago. Striking teachers held a mass protest in Chicago on Saturday, reported yesterday RIA News" with reference to the Associated Press agency.
The trade union of teachers demands an increase in wages. He also opposes the introduction of a new performance evaluation system for teachers, based on the results that students will show in taking standardized tests.
About 30, thousands of teachers and school staff participate in the strike. Around 400.000, Chicago schoolchildren were forced to stay at home.
In Chicago, only 144 schools are now working, and their hours of work are reduced, and parents are advised to bring children there only if absolutely necessary.
"Lenta.ru" referring to Reuters, she cites other information: the teachers strike in Chicago, which began on September 10, are attended by about 29 thousands of teachers from 675 schools, and she touched around 40 thousands of students.
"Vesti" clarify that the main requirement of Chicago educators is a salary increase of at least 20% (the authorities agree only on the 3% increase).
Obama will pay for Libya by election rating. Alexander Khristenko ("Vesti") tells that Mitt Romney used attacks on American embassies as another reason to attack his rival Obama.
A Republican presidential candidate accused Barack Obama of failing to protect US interests. Moreover, the Democrats themselves immediately remembered Obama that he ordered the overthrow of Gaddafi, without asking permission from Congress.
“I believe that we should not have had an operation in Libya at all. As for the consulate in Benghazi, they clearly underestimated the danger that threatened our employees, ”said Democrat Mike Coffman, a member of the Armed Services Committee of the US House of Representatives.
Now, two destroyers with Tomahawk cruise missiles have gone to Benghazi on the orders of Mr. Obama. But what kind of democracy will destroyers and marines defend?
Director of the Center for National Interests of the United States, a former presidential adviser to Richard Nixon, Dmitry Simes argues: “Let's be honest: for what they fought, they ran into it. If from one spark such a fire suddenly flares up, then you need to think about why this is happening, and why there was so much prepared material nearby to break out from one small spark. ”
Thus, let us add on our own, Americans seem to have received their sight. The “Arab Spring” suddenly turned into a deadly hot summer, which, it seems, will soon be replaced by a cold “winter.” Other misters cannot understand why they help those who hate them.
Member of the International Affairs Committee of the House of Representatives of the United States Congress, Republican Mike Kelly, says bluntly: “America has always been the first to respond to any violations of human rights, to crimes related to this. And now my voters and I do not understand why we are helping so many people who hate us so much. ”
Also, you do not understand, let us add that in any country where you put your noses and Tomahawks, violations of “human rights” occur a hundred times more than they did before your democratic intervention. If neither congressmen, nor the president, nor his State Department, nor the Pentagon, nor the citizens of America, nor NATO understand this, then what do they understand at all?
The famous publicist and philosopher Patrick "Pat" Buchanan was added to the camp of critics of Barack Obama. This is told on the pages "The Daily Caller" journalist Jeff Pur.
A conservative writer believes that the wars started by Obama are “naive”, and that the Middle East policy is “crumbling right before our eyes.” P. Buchanan added to the growing list of critics of US policy in the Middle East, where anti-American speeches continue everywhere.
The author of the book “Suicide of a superpower: whether America will live to 2025 of the year” appeared on the Fox News Channel, where he declared Obama’s naivety and consequently destructive foreign policy, starting with Cairo.
“He had this famous speech in Cairo, and then he took up the“ Arab Spring ”, directed against some dictators and autocrats and other people. Some of them were friendly with us, and some were not. Thus, new genies were released from bottles, and not all of them were good. Some of them are harmful. ”
Now, according to Buchanan, American employees may have to leave the Middle East forever, where the commentator sees three evil forces: Islamic fundamentalism, tribalism and ethno-nationalism. Obama has a “completely naive” position. All Americans - diplomats, tourists and all the rest - need to immediately get out of the region.
Moreover, according to Buchanan, this is not just about a film against a Muslim prophet, but about the hatred of many Muslims around the world for everything American. “... people did it in Libya ... it was a pre-planned, pre-prepared terrorist act. They hate ... the United States. They hate our culture. They hate our politics. They have - historical resentment. They can only be anti-Americanists. ”
“I think,” said Buchanan further, “that there is a real incompatibility between American culture and fundamentalist culture, the culture of the Islamic world ... There is a revolution going on, a religious awakening is occurring among the poor and the working class. The only thing they have is Islamic faith. They are very warlike in that sense. And they look at the enemy as the embodiment of Satan, and the Americans and others fit into this image with their cultural invasion. ”
By the wayBuchanan has long been developing the idea that the United States is threatened with disintegration according to the Balkan scenario - due to the contraction of the “Christian-European core” and the growth of religious, racial, ethnic and other contradictions. He also points to demographic trends, in view of which Western peoples will no longer exist by the end of the 21st century. According to Buchanan, all this is due to the decline of traditional culture. Homosexual acts Patrick Buchanan calls unnatural and immoral.
Thus, let us add from ourselves, while some in the White House are persistently promoting “Western values” and trying to defend the global hegemony of Washington, critics of the American regime predict a collapse not only of the United States, but also of the entire West. America will crack even earlier than Apophis hits Earth. Mr. Obama, get out of politics, get engaged. brewing!
