Russia Asks If America Is Still Fit To "Participate In Solving International Problems"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Yesterday it was China slamming America's superpower status (and thus dollar reserve currency status) when in Sina News it stated the following:

Their various reconnaissance aircraft have been wandering around foreign airspace for decades and watching the military secrets of other countries like a disgusting thief spying over his neighbor’s fence. However, when the neighbor comes back with a big stick, the thief will turn tail and run away, blaming the neighbor.

 

When you show people weakness, they will bully you. When you show people strength, they will respect you.

 

We [the newspaper] believe the Chinese Air Force and Naval aviation should maintain a high level of vigilence and morale in southeast coastal region to prevent the further US action.

 

America has lost face and does not want to show the world they are sick. They have been lording over other countries for so long, and they will never let it go after they eat this loss.

Now it is Russia's turn, whose Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement on Friday, following the UN's delay in adopting a statement calling for a ceasefire in Ukraine after the US once again opposed Russia, which claimed among other things that "if the US opposes an absolutely non-confrontational, reconciliatory text, there can be no doubts that Washington intends to have the armed confrontation in Ukraine continued. It could be seen only as an attempt to ‘undermine’ the humanitarian mission." A mission which Russia greenlighted despite stern US opposition, and also concluded without incident as we reported yesterday, when the convoy returned to Russia after a brief stay in east Ukraine.  
 
Moscow believes that such policy is hypocritical, the ministry added. Of course, if indeed the Ukraine economic crisis is the direct result of US and CIA meddling as the Victoria Nuland intercepted recording validates, then Russia has every right to such an opinion.

The punchline:

"Cynical disregard for the fate of civilians and 'couldn't care less' attitude toward the international humanitarian law when it comes to geopolitical interests, becomes the core of the policy of the United States and its European satellites regarding Ukrainian," the statement read.

"More and more questions are being raised about the ability of the current US administration to participate in the development of realistic and pragmatic approaches to international problems, to adequately assess the situation in the various regions of the world," the Russia Foreign Ministry noted.

One wonders if based on his recent track record in the international arena, the president of the US wouldn't agree.

"if the US opposes an absolutely non-confrontational, reconciliatory text, there can be no doubts that Washington intends to have the armed confrontation in Ukraine continued. It could be seen only as an attempt to ‘undermine’ the humanitarian mission."

How can you argue with that statment, unless you are an American exceptionalist? Even though I still think America is a special nation, we have had that stolen from us by the take over of our government and media by certain interests who seek to use American military and financial power to further a narrow set of greedy interests. As for us Americans, the tax payers, the workers and the military members, the ones who get all the work done, the taxes paid and the wars fought? What are we in this? Nothing! They wipe their asses with our interests and our freedoms. See the NSA, FBI, CIA, DEA and others to find what shit hole your freedoms have been thrown down.

Media is now an official organ of state control. Lies are beyond Orwellian!

If the few Americans left who support the wars, the take overs of other nations, the proxy wars and the trashing of all our freedoms, if they STILL call that Patriotism, then they are Fucked Up in the Head.

I think both Kiev and the CIA know a False Flag, anbd epic False Flag [9/11 scale] is needed to save Kiev's Junta before people burn the place down this winter. The Airplane was a nice try by Kiev, but they fucked it up. Something much bigger is being planned right now. Rebel victories are getting out of hand, NATO needs an excuse, a real reason to invade Ukraine and restore the control of the east. I feel it is coming, and soon. Winter is too late, don't you agree?

Something bigger is planned no doubt, but I still wonder if it will be executed. One more failed false flag, and the repercussions could have far reaching blowback for the USSA foreign policy. Moreover, I have read accounts that some of the Oligarchs have lost faith in Kiev and their western handlers, and are trying to cut deals with Moscow.  Finally, it is not clear to me at all that NATO could win against Russia in their own backyard. USSA naval superiority won't matter, air superiority is highly doubtful, and the Russian land army is well trained and equiped.

i think the Ukraine miulitary is dead - Pauriby resigned - maybe to lead standalone force of Right Sector coupled with Kolimosky troops of Israeli and US mercenaries

I think the oligarchs are angling to settle with Putin before they lose everything - but Putin would be better off with hanging them all by the people and give the assets to the separatists along with the pipeline to finance and put together 500,000 man army to protect the south east to west forever from the USA and Kiev Fascists

there is enough oil and gas, factories, and agriculture put in the hands of the people to sustain a new state without kleptocrats - hang everyone - ask ISIS to come in for a party and cut their heads off and put them on posts for 90 days - start with Yats and Paruiby

Kiev Junta is now a bad horse to back. Oligarchs are looking to jump ship, their factories and labor force in Donbass are finished. Take a decade and 15 billion dollars just to reconstruct to minimal comeback. Oligarchs want PROFITS, not obligations. USA and Oligarchs are falling out with each other I think.

Very smart and wily Russia-China.

 

At a time when Europe is already having serious and worsening second-thoughts about being America's bitch, and at a time when other major players (BRICS) may need more courage and support to join and consolidate the anti-petrodollar axis, Russia-China make expert use of the ongoing U.S. instigation of mounting chaos around the globe, to point out the extreme "costs" that are accruing and will accrue to those that don't push back against America now.

 

This message resonates ever more deeply in the hearts and minds of leaders around the globe. And it carries the potent effect of separating U.S. allies from the U.S.

 

Very smart and wily Russia-China.

Perhaps not so smart and wily, they still have morals, standards and honour.

This may be difficult for Western leaders to understand but both Russia and China are old fashioned and believe that their word is their bond. Contracts are to be honoured, friends supported.

If the US/NATO had honoured their verbal agreement 20 or so years not the move into the former Warsaw Pact area we wouldn't be in this mess now.

With all the latest PR BS the West's credibility is really down the tubes.

I wonder how many more golf outings in the midst of geopolitical turmoil the American public will need to see in order to come to the conclusion that this President (and perhaps others before him), are NOT the ones calling the shots...?    

Sure, it's convenient and easy to have an 'all-in-one' person to praise - or lay blame upon for every concern of the nation, but even so, it should be painfully obvious by now to any thinking man or woman, that Mr. Obama is nothing more than a 'figurehead'.

I have a feeling that Obama made a bargain with the devil.  The shadow government people let him know he could be president, if he played ball.  When he found out that he really was absolutely powerless, he said "fuck it, I'm hittin' the links".  I think there is an intentional message for the american people in his dereliction of duty.  A shame they don't see it.  If there isn't....then there's an unintentional message, and they amount to the same thing.

Just speculating.  I just can't see how anyone could be dumb or degenerate enough to do what he's doing.

I agree with this. There is plenty of speculation out there as to the role the CIA and other state mobs play in controlling events around the planet. Someone, somewhere on Earth is pulling the strings and calling the shots. The Rothchilds are the prime suspects due to the fact that they started the modern fiat money banking system in the 1700's, but there are others as well, such as Rockefeller, Kennedy, DuPont, there is no shortage of "truth" websites that claim this. We know for a fact that a faction within the CIA is responsible for running heroine out of Afghanistan and cocaine out of south America. There are plenty of videos on the web showing contractors walking through opium poppy fields with the farmers. There is ample testimony from ex-military talking about what is going on. If you choose to blow it off as BS you are part of the problem. And you can bet that there are high ranking officers within the military who are getting a cut for playing along. Obama is doing their bidding and being rewarded for his loyalty. If he didn't, there would be an "accident". He would be gone and they would still be in control with another puppet at their service. It's really a bad situation we're in. The best definition I can equate to the USA today is fascist corporatism. I like this definition; "Fascism's theory of economic corporatism involved management of sectors of the economy by government or privately controlled organizations (corporations). Each trade union or employer corporation would, theoretically, represent its professional concerns, especially by negotiation of labour contracts and the like. This method, it was theorized, could result in harmony amongst social classes." -(Mark Mazower, Dark Continent: Europe's 20th Century p29). Throw in some Keynesianism, egomaniac elitists and a willfully ignorant slave class and Presto! You have all the ingredients for this bullshit we call an economic system and democratically elected government.

Perhaps but it sure is a hell of a lot more entertaining. The integrity of the Regime-Stream-Media is one problem and I reckon you would be more than happy/paid to debate it back and forth forever. However, the silver bullet that is killing your MSM repeatedly is itself.

The Regime-Stream-Media is fucking boring and poorly slapped together. The narratives are all over the place.  It is like we are screening a slew of TV pilots that are being pitched to the stations. The stations do not even care enough to preview them before they go on air, for fuck's sake.

"I heard yesterday evening that Holland has officially announced that it will not release the full info of the flight data and voice recorders of MH17.  Thus Holland has now become an official accomplice to the cover-up of this US false-flag operation and to the murder of the passengers of MH17."

You may be right. But given the voice data recorder has been in British govt hands for weeks and British govts have a very very long record of cover-ups, whitewashes and lies, I wouldn't bet on that theory. We might never know what parts of the recordings have been edited out etc.

MSM completely dropped this story as soon as evidence materialised that MH-17 was shot down by Ukie fighter jets, this adds to suspicions that it's all going to be covered up and officially filed as an unsolved incident, even though we all know the truth.

Yes, "ditto the ATC tape."

I'm not aware that folks here are in denial. There's probably a higher proportion of people here who are up to date with the truth about MH-17 than in society generally.

For me, the most cynical aspect of this is how Western governments and Western MSM poured non-stop blame and abuse onto Putin/Russia. But have now completely dropped the story, consigning the pre-planned murder of 280 innocent people to the trash can of history as soon as the truth emerged. And all because the Ukie perps who committed the heinous crime are Western puppets.

This incident by itself should be a wake up call to everybody in the West that our own governments at the highest levels are deeply involved in a gigantic criminal conspiracy. And MSM are knowingly aiding and abetting it.

How many years has Russia been in Moldova, defending a defacto partition line that was seized under cover of a 'truce'? Both sides were supposed to pull back and have an international force in between. The moldovan (romanian) forces did but the russian backed separatists rushed forward and created facts on the ground that persist to this day. Boo hoo, the Ukrainians took notes and aren't buying it this time.

Talking about the US and its subsiduary NATO fit to be a power, I just spotted this on vineyardsaker, not sure if it surfaced here in June but it could be another reason for MH17 being picked, taking off from Amsterdam, as well as Malaysia prosocuting US war criminals. Mind you Malaysia seems to be backing down atm.

On 10 June, Volkskrant reported that the Dutch National Court of Auditors had determined that NATO couldn't account for billions of dollars, and wanted November's NATO Parliamentary Assembly in The Hague to start asking questions. Two versions of the same story are here and here.

A month later, a plane full of Dutch citizens, owned by a country which indicts US-UK-Israeli leaders of war crimes, was blown out of the sky, and Fogh started screaming his lungs out for war.

If you were an unprincipled PR grotesque like Fogh, which would you go for? Peace, and a leisurely scrutiny of your best friend NATOs dodgy accounts, or War, where you can embezzle squillions more, and nobody will be ever the wiser?

Well if its any consolation to Obammy, the french economic minister Montebourg, firebrand who hates Merkel/Draghi austerity in Eurozone, openly asks :

---Is my BOSS Hollande fit to represent our country in Euro zone discussions if he continues supporting the austerity program of Mutti!---Wowiee!

Now the fight in French government --not left/right, but left and moar left-- is coming out into the open. Between "old school" socialists like him and "new school" socialists like Hollande and PM Valls, who have told Euro-zone leaders in Brussels that France backs austerity and will reduce deficits in line with Mutti's dictat, not increase them to create more "growth", as howls the Keynesian left.

Its funny, as if you read the US MSM  at Jacksonhole, all the pundits want to tar and feather Draghi for having destroyed growth and for having increased unemployment in Eurozone--to save its core banks (hint, hint Mutti-land)-- EXACTLY WHAT MONTEBOURG IS NOW SAYING. So the TBTF banks--scions of capitalism-- and the French dogmatic left have the SAME opinion on what's wrong with Eurozone. Hahaha! Some conundrum now facing the powers in DC. 

But, all this Keynesian (or IMO Friedmanian monetarist)  screaming,  it won't budge Draghi... or will it...?

Thats the big question.

Will Draghi pee on Mutti's dictat and open Euro QE to please the Pax Americana TBTF cabal and Squid's wishes of less Eurozone austerity, or will he stick to current line?

Whats the Answer, Sherlock? 

I think Hollande will sit on the fence like Humpty Dumpty and let his two young firebrands Montebourg and Valls fight it out; all the while Draghi and TBTF decide the fate of Euroland. Thats the French equivalent of WH vs Congress political shenanigans. But its not the National Assembly or the people's reps who balance WH executive orders; in France its all elitist non elected or executive people in the government who decide!

The Elysees palace power structure in France is at par with Putin's Kremlin more than with the US- WH! Its total and absolutist power...

Given all the black swans flying around ANYTHING IS NOW POSSIBLE. 

But France is now basket case of Eurozone "do or die"; in the eye of the financial cyclone or "so called" recovery. It is now the key domino in this Euro thingie...

Promised Land or "Ukraine to be" --financial debacle and, who knows, social collapse-- take your pick !

France decides Europe's economic future. Long, sultry summer now coming to fruition.

The two major leaders of the new “international community” known as the BRIK nations are questioning the mental status of the Empire psychopaths in Washington to conduct business in a fair and equatable manner based on honesty and trust.

They do not like being belligerently bullied and threaten by meddling Empire fascist from the other side of the world that have destroyed their own economy and turned against their own people.

Psychopaths are habitual liars that isolate themselves from reality and the real world. The psychopaths in Washington's Empire have already overthrown our government and economy and are in full control.

Like all psychopaths, Washington's Empire psychopaths are becoming more isolated from the rest of the world and they want to reach out and kill anyone that gets in their way. The psychopaths will never admit guilt or responsibility for the destruction of Iraq, nor will they let go of Iraq.

All true what folks have say but how do I get my guns, gold and silver out of of the UNtied states?  No one took on that question.  How you get through customs?  It is a legit question to ask.

I do not have just bullion, I have numismatic grade coins and many from Russia.  I have coins that most Russians have never seen.  Russia is the most difficult country to collect.  We are not talking about bullion here.  That is only the start of the problems.  Hey Vlad, do mind if  bring about 20000 rounds of 7.62x51 into Russia?  I think we might have an issue there.

Basically, I would have to sell all of my physical metals and guns and convert it to digits to tranfer.  I do not like this idea at all.  The next thing you know you will be on the hook for some sort of capital gains taxes or some shit.  I really do not want to sell anything metal realated but I do want to get the fuck out of this shithole.  So how do you do it?  What?  Rent your own ship, traverse the Atlantic and row to shore in a jon boat and sneak in?

Heh heh heh.  Well, now Mr;s M has the Russian MILF-In-Law on the Skype.  She is single and still pretty milfy looking too.  She really likes our new flooring renovation and wants to buy an apartment in Moscow.  After being marriend for ten years I have still never heard the financials yet.  If you are going to go to Moscow and buy a flat you have to have some serious cash.

So Hell Yes I will go.  I would also make sure to taste test all of the vodkas to make sure they are not windshield wiper fluid.  Even if they were wiper fluid it is still probably better than Phillips low shelf.  I like Russian women a great deal.  They are asshole tolerant and laugh at you when you are an idiot.  Well the men do to and and my wife's cousin wants to go on a drinking binge with me.  He seems a pretty cool guy but I have a feeling that by the second bottle he will still be going and I will be face down on the nettles.  Maybe not.  There is no doubt that is a let's drink Russian style contest.  The last time I did that I was drunk the whole next day without even drinking.

Americans can still be of some value I guess.  I don't mind helping out a Russian.  OH, it was the USA .GOV?  No, the USA .GOV is full retard.  So is Russia's .gov.  We have all come to the conclusion that we would be better off without any .gov. 

I was terrified of Russia when I was a kid because of all of the propaganda that was spewed forth.  Evil Empire and such.  I had to go see for myself and that is not what I found at all.  You meet some really nice folks over there.  They are a lot like us and some of them ARE us.  I have been pounding on them that they too have a central bank and that there will be problems.  For now, they do not seem to care. 

Buying and holding of physical PM's seems to be a problem in Russia.  It has been stated to me that if you buy gold or silver that the clerk who sold you that metal will sell that info to some crook and they and that they will break in to your house and steal it.  I do not know that be true but that is what is said. 

I am sick and tired of the UNtied States but how do I move my metal out of here?  I doubt Moscow wants a pissed off American moving an arsenal into their country.  How about moving PMs overseas?  I do not see anything that works for doing that.  

I think we just need to keep after these harelips.  You can't run away and there comes a point where you will have to turn and fight them.

Just a short war note. The last week has seen major defeats for Ukraine's offensive. The last few days have seen massive and widescale offensives by the rebels. All over the front attacks are defeating or surrounding Ukie units. I guess roughly 17,000-20,000 Ukrainian army forces and hundreds of tanks and artillery are surrounded in new pockets. A major southern pocket has formed from rebel attacks, this is the THIRD time Ukraine army has been trapped in this  same area. 3 more battalions are now trapped there and so are units of Nazi punishment battalions. Maybe 10,000 men or more.

The "Adir" Nazi battalion is trapped again. These are ardent Nazi's who fight for the Junta as their most loyal, and most useless fighters. Rebels have now captured super heavy artillery and many more rocket launchers from defeated Kiev army. Already these are in use.

Let me be blunt. If things stay this way going forward, by months end, Kiev's Junta army will need to be totally rebuilt. A 4th draft law enforces and all surplus 1970's and 80's war material brought into service. This is old worn out shit, and new recruits sent to fight with it wil be massacred! Yet America and Kiev are prepared to do it! It is now bloody murder! Nothing but fucking murder of these young drafted kids! Fuck Nazi Kiev!

Azov battalion basically told "ATO" HQ to 'feck off' and that they wouldn't fight no more after what happened to them at Ilyovansk when big boys with guns returned fire unlike the poor elderly and pregnant folks in Odessa. 3 of the volunteer battalions bailed in total from fighting around Ilyovansk. The seps are currently in a probing offensive stage with ambushes and skirmishes beyond the front lines near Mariupol and the Azov sea, apparently very little in the way of Ukie rear forces. lostarmour.info is a great website to track visually confirmed and documented captured and destroyed tanks, IFVs and APCs, unfortunatelty doesn't list out all the artillery or support vehicles or partially destroyed stuff, or items that are not photographed or seen in video and there is usually as expected somewhat a delay in relaying the info. As it stands approx 196 and 171 items have been destroyed and captured between the two parties with approx 95+% going the way of the seps. If you look at the burned out and completely destroyed (sometimes beyond recongnition save maybe the engine etc) you can see the seps are rather proficient and that Ukie losses are up there although they are officially around 720KIA.

Yesterday was the Ukies army march through Kiev for Independence day celebrations I think and Porkyshenko said that all the equipment and forces would go to the front immediately ala what was going on with the Soviets in WWII and many have said is it that bad that they have to do what was happening in the middle of WWII, holding a parade and then sending them off to war. Also of not during the parade everyone was freshly kitted out etc and had new IDF guns in addition to those produced in the RF, take from that what you will.

The President plays golf and scolds those brave people who try to deliver food to starving grandmas. Shame on you.

In one year, China steals roughly the same value of American intellectual property as the U.S. actually trades with China for that same entire year:

And the U.S. gets accused of being the "disgusting thief."

FUCK YOU CHINA. Invent your own fucking technologies you subhuman mongrels.

At least we can rest assured that the NSA is not stealing data from anybody/everybody to commit industrial espionage. ha-ha

Lol China doesn't have any tech of value to us. Hence, why they steal from us and not vice versa. Everyone knows that. This is their pathetic little way of trying to play catch up.

China = DISGUSTING THIEF

"China doesn't have any tech of value to us"

 

Q: How do you know?

A: The NSA has to commit industrial espionage to find out.

 

You'll have to do better than that. Finding out what the other side is up to is what spying is all about.

But Germany, France UK, Sweden etc i.e. the friends of the US do have plenty of IP worth stealing. With the NSA probably doing it much more efficiently than the Chinese due to all those lovely back doors in US designed proucts and data protocol holes in US approved international standards.

As they say, with a friend like the US, who needs enemies.

Only White Man invents.

Most ZH readers know this. But I just don't know why I never read this in comments. Or anywhere. I must be on the wrong page.

I am sure the US has people who are mature, capable and uncorrupted ... and who would be very good for helping stabilize and nuture a growing world of various people.

Unfortunately these people do not seem to be the ones running the country. The people running the country appear immature, petulant and corrupted.

I believe it is wrong for the world to give up on a country simply because the people running it are bad.

China commits 80% of the IP theft that takes place in the US every year, totaling almost $250 billion in damages.

How about ZH takes off its BRICS-cheerleader hat for a moment and address the glaring hypocrisy in China's statement that the U.S. is a "disgusting thief?"

I have had my suspicions for awhile but ZH is probably a BRICS propaganda network. All the stories align with BRICS geo-political strategy, and curiously there never seems to be anything bad to say about Russia or China here on ZH. Anyone notice that?

BPN  Bricks propaganda network.  It has a nice ring to it.  I think it will work, comrade.

Yes indeed, comrade.

Our English-language state-run news services are really effective tools for NOT brainwashing Americans. Hahaha.

Just because the USPO is technically incompetent and grants bogus patents does not mean that the rest of the world has to honor those bogus patents.

ZH commenters appear to have above average critical thinking and independent research skills which make the consistently low-IQ sound-bite US propaganda so hilarious. I seriously doubt that any of us (current US citizens) enjoy being on the retarded, aggressive scumbag side of world affairs. However, the ability of the US to meddle with and terrorize other countries is finally coming to an end.

The "Just Us" vultures know they are in the "end game" and are carving out the last juicy bits of the rotting USA carcass and jumping ship (corporate inversion, renouncing citizenship, etc...) as fast as they can. Cry and whine all you want because the BRICS appear to "get the job done" while US government asshats seem to be stuck in the "Epic Fail" - blame everyone else position.

Regardless of the presstitutes and propaganda spin, the US is operated by losers who think they are winners.

The BRICS are led by winners.
