Ordinary Russians Also "Retaliate" To Obama's Sanctions

Tyler Durden's picture




 

As is widely known by now, Barack Obama, in an executive order, earlier this week as well as moments ago in a very dramatic follow up performance, decided to sanction a handful of Russian military leaders and Kremlinites close to Putin. He didn't touch Putin of course, that could be seen as too strong a signal one which may cut off German gas supplies for a day or two. Remember: there are "costs" and stuff. So while Russian official debate just how to retaliate best to US and European sanctions, as they said they would, ordinary Russians are taking matters into their own hands. And on twitter. Here are some examples in which the "Russian on the street" has some fun with Obama's sanctions, and prohibits the US president and people close to him to approach, enter and/or use the facilities.

A zoom up:

The poster prhibits from entering the abovementioned individuals, among which:

  • Barack Obama
  • John Kerry
  • Hillary Clinton
  • Bill Clinon
  • Samantha Power
  • Pussy Riot
  • Adolf Hitler
  • Benito Mussollini

and others.

It continues:

Here the offended Russian says the following:

  • Barack Obama is prohibited from entering the toilet in our office
  • Members of the US Congress are prohibited from using our cafeteria and toilet

and finally:

  • Barack Obama is forbidden from eating the bananas in our fridge.

Needless to say, Russians are hardly taking the US "escalation" very seriously.

The Ruskis can keep joking around but they are poking at a sleeping giant. If the U.S truly decides to put the hurt on the Ruskis, all of these people will be crying but Putin will obviously still be rich. The country lives in poverty while those in power live on cloud 9. Nothing Russia isn't used to.

Oh and high approval ratings are indicative only of dictatorships. Stalin and Hitler had 100% approval ratings so Putin still has a little while to go.

I was referencing the "sleeping giant" comment. More like "dying giant". That's why these sanctions mean shit and are getting scoffed at. He's right upon the approval of dictators but I don't see where that has any relevance. I've said it many times before. I'm no fan of Putin. I'm a fan of America leaving the world alone. We need less interventionism and more isolationism. I'm sick of us looking like World Asshole with a fuckin schmuck at the helm.

The other day I read of a 17-year-old kid at a technical school, who was studying to be an EMT and was already a first responder, who got arrested for the 3 inch blade found in his first responder kit that was in the locked trunk of his car on school property. It was for cutting the seat belts of accident victims. They wouldn't let him talk to his father or a lawyer. They held him in jail for 5 days and have probably ruined any hope he had of achieving his ambition. Talk about a no-win situation. Apparently, it is no longer possible for authorities to distinguish between a tool and a weapon. Pretty soon we won't be able to have a sharpened pencil in our possession.

The "reset" was never on the agenda. It never existed.

The item in the agenda was "overcharge" or "overload". Hitlery Clinton knew damned well knew what it said. Notice how she volunteers "oh, I hope we got it right".

When corrected by Lavrov, her reply- "well, we certainly won't let you do that to us".

Lavrov, the old diplomatic pro, was gracious publicly and let it slide, but he knew the score...

It seems many interpret the anger North Americans feel towards our 'leadership' as 'carteblanche' support for Putin.  I guess thats what a lifelong familiarity with 'Red Team/Blue Team' does to one's thinking.

Russia has a leader who it would seem is looking out for his nations interests.

America, Canada, not so much.  Bought and paid for leadership, foreign policy firmly in the hands of AIPAC. 

And people are sick of it.  Not 'in love with Putin'.

Yup.
I believe we need an honest and factual dialogue - out in the open - about AIPAC's role in the US and elsewhere.
Typically if you even mention this, there are hysterical cries of racism. I call shenanigans. I'm no antisemite, never have been, never will be. But I have developed a strong sense of revulsion for Israel and for Zionism.
If we (society in general) don't start having mature, grown up discussions about this now, it's going to get really ugly later.

Russia is a kingdom.    Anybody who thinks Putin is "looking out for the Russian dumbasses" is dumbass.

Putin is looking out for his own elite.    But he knows - just as our sociopaths know - the dumbasses love leaders who poke enemy leaders.

To think ex-KGB Putin is better than any President the USA has had in recent times is crazy.  I am getting flashbacks from '08 when I was told by everyone that Obama would solve all the problems Bush left.  Putin is just like all of them - he wants power for him and his best friends, maybe he's just a little smarter than the USA elites.

Well said HR

But the sad reality of the response I got above when I made the wry comment about Americans in their perceptions and backwardness of other cultures speaks for itself. 

Most Americans aren't even smart enough to ask the question of why protests they have witnessed through MSM  in places like Iraq, Libya, Tunisia, Egypt have “plants” holding up signs in English and not their own languages? That and the fact that those that are at least intelligent enough with that ignorance to admit that we've allowed our Government in our name to make these kinds of choices on our behalf for far too long and only making it worse aren't even compelled at this late stage into action.

They would rather be angry and reminisce about better dayz...

How truly pathetic and sad we are… By design of course.

He's looking out for the small number of crooks that he surrounds himself with. The only "Good" that he does for the Russian people, is so they won't openly rebel, which is exactly where Russia was heading towards: Another civil war.

 

God, seriously, I get it, he's sticking it to Obama, and that's a good thing. But Putin is far far worse and larger threat to the world than Obama or his cronies, and as someone from the USSR, it seriously bothers me that so many people here (ZH) where I thought there was a huge bastion for liberty lovers, are 100% behind this autocrat.

If only we could fire them all and start with real leaders who believed in our Constitution. Yes, I know, dream on.

And how pissed will Americans be at Barrack when they are not allowed in the Apple store or any other American establishment in Moscow. Oh boy. We look like such fools in America. All my decades on this planet and this is what we end up with. Very sad, not so much for me, but my daughter.

Yeah, considering that 6 months ago there was talk of civil-war in Russia, SOME SUPPORT EH. THis is temporary aproval numbers for putin. No one here even cares since hardly anyone paid any attention to whats been going in Russia until the last few weeks.

Talk by whom exactly? Provide substantiation please. Also, have you been living in a cave in Afghanistan? Are you unaware of the NSA's illegal spying? Obama wiping his wife's enormous ass with our Constitution? No? Maybe you should pay more attention to what is going on in the USA.

Ridicule is the most effective response to the stupidity of our foreign policy.  These Russians are enjoying this little incident, our side, not so much.

We will just have to accept the fact that the Russian sphere of influence encompasses Crimea- hell, the Ukraine.

A lot of Ordinary Americans will side with Russia.  Obama has no idea how many Americans he has pissed off.  All starting with his violations of the 1st, 4th and Second Amendments. Throw in the lies, deceit and NSA and he is probably close to a mutiny.   I will probably be considered a terroist for writing this and detained indefinitely.

Neocon's are driving this train wreck. 99% of Neocon's in Washington are not military veterans, they are college frat punks who believe all the right wing bullshit their idols in the state controlled media feed them. Neocon's have sent genreations of my family to war, the most recent being my daughter's husband in Iraq. Now, he is disabled from bomb blasts and all the Neocon's are healthly happy and unstressed. These Neocons need to be taken to the woodshed and beaten with a strap and kicked in their tiny balls. All they have is a mouth and a coward's arrogance knowing they will never fight. They have the white trash to do that for them. Also, check the religion of the most rabid neocons. You know what it is!!

Bill Kristol is tired of Americans being war weary and we need to be "Awakened and Rallied" to war (doesn't matter which):

“A war-weary public can be awakened and rallied,” Kristol cheers. “Indeed, events are right now doing the awakening. All that’s needed is the rallying. And the turnaround can be fast.”

In my humble opinion the rallying he may get is for him to shut his pie hole.

An odd thing happened in my Broca/Wernicke area the other night as I was catching up on my viewing of. "The Americans".

Last season I was 'unsympathetic' to what they were trying to accomplish in Cold War, their merciless tactics, and the recruitment of bureaucrats thru blackmail.

All of a sudden I find myself cheering and rooting for them, in hopes that they could have toppled the United States government thru those tactics and any others they might choose.

I credit this change of heart to the growing awareness of what a despicable bunch of corrupt assholes have done to the U.S. both on Wall Street and D.C.

Is it that difficult to use energy as a foreign policy tool? Why use the military when you can threaten to be their economic competitor? Hey, Obama, we are producing more and more shale gas and you promised that we are going to be the leading exporter, what batter market to sell that shale gas to than Europe? And what better way to make Ukraine an all important entity that stands as a giant fuck you to Russia than making it the ports that American gas will go through?

If they kick you with the left jackboot it feels just the same as when they kick you with the right jackboot. The only difference is the tread mark. Putin and Obama would never kick each other without orders.

I've got no dog in this fight but I would pay 20 oz of gold (Maple Leafs anyone?) to watch the paid asshole from Team A fight the paid asshole from Team B in a cage match to the death. The asshole from Team C gets to take on the winner. Naturally, no one leaves the cage, they all get to rot.
