What A Difference A Week Makes In International Diplomacy

Tyler Durden's picture




 

It is often said that a picture paints a thousand words, so here are 3000 words on the state of international diplomacy.

Last week's APEC Summit... Putin between China's Xi and Brunei's Hassanal Bolkiah with Obama positioned with the wives...

 

This week's G-20 Meeting... Obama front-and-center between China's Xi and Brazil's Rousseff (just in front of Britain's Cameron) with Putin almost out of shot

Source: BusinessWeek

Note that there is one constant: China is always in the middle.

When Tony 'Hey' Abbott got elected I wasn't worried. I figured it was only a matter of time. He'd throttle himself trying to do his own tie like a big boy, or drown in the shower, or maybe even just wander off. Sadly none of these things have happened. And so the world got to hear Tonester whine about not being able to get a $7 payment up, but also boast that had managed to get the Coalition's best mates paid by ditching the carbon tax. I mean WE all know he's an ineffective, talentless wanker in the employ of big mining, but we also figured he'd want to keep that our secret. Like Warney's flipper, the best surfing spots, or the truth about drop-bears.  Secret's out now. Tony's meat on a hook, even Alan Jones is coming after him :) When you get the right wing radio nutjobs offside, and you're one of them, you're toast.

I really try to be open minded when looking at politics but some things are so damned hard to do. The one thing that continually sticks in my throat is this "shutting down the government" theme and how we can have both the house and senate passing bills to be sent to the president and yet one man, the president of the United States, can veto them and yet it is the republican's fault. It always has been. This is understandably how the democrats would always see it but the public's impression of reality is almost solely created by the press. We even see the republicans fully accepting this by stating they will not now and maybe never send anything to Obama that he would veto if it would potentially shut down the spending. It just seems incredible that this can stand, that the press can do this endlessly and never get called on it and having done so for so long that the republicans themselves have rationalized it.

Man ain't that the truth.

Happened to stumble across Meet the Depressed this morning. Bobby Jindal interview with Chuck Todd. So Todd says, I'm paraphrasing here, "If Obama signs an Executive Order on immigration do you support republicans shutting down the government again?"

His answer was priceless, again paraphrasing, "If Obama chooses to shut down the government by signing an Executive Order countermanding existing immigration law agreed to by Congress & the Executive branch..."

Todd interrupts: "Wait, you're twisting my words!"

It was like a breath of fresh air ;-)

If the developed nations can get this climate change religion really going, it is going to make the British days of colonialism look like a teddy bear's picnic! 

Once the green bank is set up the developed nations tax their local morons who actually think global warming is real (and can be stopped with taxes). They use this tax to give grants to the green bank. Then, they mandate that the poor countries also must invest into stopping global warming. But the poor countries battle to put one rock on top of another, so they must borrow the money from the green bank with interest, then pay the developed nations to engineer and build the green energy projects. 

It's like the East India Company on MASSIVE steroids. The real beauty will be when (they are already doing it) the developed nations do another big investment into nuclear energy, and tell the poor countries that they can only have solar panels and whirly gigs. Colonialism is about to be turned up a notch!

No. He means over the Ukraine as Ukraine MIGs shot MH17 out of the sky AS WELL as shooting down that Iranian Passenger Jet.

 

And the USA backed the killing of civilians...as they did when they were complicit with the Saudis and Israel in taking out the World Trade Center in 2001.

 

But the loss of life listed in those previously listed events pales in comparison to this prolonged atrocity committed by the United States. 

 

Madeline Albright, former US Secretary of State under Slick Willie Clinton gleefully said, on National Television that our direct slaughter of ONE HALF MILLION IRAQI CHILDREN DURING THE DECADE OF THE 1990s WAS WORTH IT. Most were under FIVE YEAR OLD WHEN THEY WERE KILLED.

 

If that is not a War Crime then I do not lnow what is.

 

Of course the former USSR has been guilty of atrocities also.

 

He is just a psychopath lacking any moral decency as he backs the atrocities of the USA backed UKRANIAN GOVERNMENT..

Your reply is interesting. When replying to 'VIEDOKLIS_LV', please use the formal 'U.S. State Department' header, and refer to the name 'Victoria Nuland' (the fucking Nazi 'fuck the E.U.' bitch). Note carefully the AVATAR...

All the Russians have is the fact that they are the world's largest exporter nation of Natural Gas, and the second-largest exporter of Oil. THAT, and they like to sell their old unfinished technology (like that Chinese aircraft carrier). And they figured out that oil is ABIOTIC in the 1970's (KOLA SG 'superdeep' wells). AND, they can make liqour from potatoes. AND, they span 14 timezones out of 24. AND, they have most of the world's 'rare earths'.

The 'HUMAN DEVELOPMENT INDEX' is apparently that set of statistics which is used by HUMAN RESOURCE 'officers' to quantify the value of that which they deem 'worthy'.

If you compare Russia to Germany then Russia is way behind. But what about the other EU nations such as Greece? The Greeks don't have much technology to export either and unlike the Russians they don't have a top notch arms industry (a very handy export earner) or vast reserves of timber and minerals (not just gas/oil).

Plus Russia mines more gold than the entire EU and unlike the Germans they have their gold on their soil.

Uai!

This is a bad trait?

A guy who values family unity, man marry a woman and having children is a bad thing?

Where are Western values?

In Russia!

This business of homosexuality is wrong, everyone knows but is afraid to speak.

It's like criticizing Jewish, soon you're branded a Nazi mercilessly, fucking useless to argue that Israelis are even worse than the Nazis did.

hehe.

whether you think something is wrong or not doesn't matter - if you don't like it, then don't  do it.

trying to force your ideas on someone else is the problem - other people are under no obligation to follow your ideas.

people who try to force their ideas on others are agressors, and the enemy of civilized society.

Lame. 

You said "if you don't like it, don't do it." LMAO!

Tell that to the bakery that didn't want to decorate a gay wedding cake but was forced by government Nazis to do it. Tell that to parents who were shocked hear from their lower school kids how they are being taught how anal sex is just wonderful and normal and an act of love.  

Liberals and most homosexuals do NOT believe in tolerance.  They simply will NOT tolerate your values.  This is not a plea to live and let live.   This is a new world order, 1984-style systematic dismantling of traditional gender roles and family structure.

And before you rush to the reply button to see how fast you can type out the word homophobe, you should know I have a gay cousin that is my age.  He has always been gay.  But he doesn't go around talking to 6 year-olds about anal sex, and he'd gladly bake his own damn cakes.

The thing everyone forgets about Russia is that they hit the reset button in 1998 when they defaulted. That's why their debt to GDP is so low.

It's also why no one in the Eurozone is allowed to default. The TPTB want to drag on the misery in the West and Japan for as long as they possibly can.

True, but 1998 was a long time ago and look at how much debt the west has piled on since 1998.

FanTAStic point.  Russia really did an interesting job of showing the money-changers who was boss.  Defaulting on debt is certainly within the "national" perogative, consequences be damned.

This is all very much fucked up. OK, I might score some downvotes here, but anyhow.. Let's jump from Z to A and from Y to B.. Coming from Europe. Many people here, meaning Europe, still have in their mind, a clear reminder of who ever collaborated during WW2. Even stories from their families. Quite a nasty discussion / situation. I cannot help to see the exact parallel emerging right now, ie. Putin/East vs West. This is not by any means an effort to compare both events. I try to say, some people will observe it as such: "Whoever likes the Eastern gameplay, label him accordingly, whoever chooses to become debt slave, that then would be the good guy, right?" Man, people really need to know they cannot fight mathematics and they need to understand that it's over. Hate to say it, especially on ZH thread, but not enough "truth" finds its way to the common people / sheeple. ZH provides excellent info. Excellent. Yet, it all remains a total mess. And I would very much applaud the  - whoever you might be guy - to just blow it all up, meaning, exposing it to everyone, via means, not a single person can avoid. I just cannot identify the medium. There are guys out there who are risking their lives for exposing the truth. Heroes they are. HEROES. And they'll all find their right place in the history books, because they did it for the cause. Watch the strikes in Europe... "The beginning". This is gonna go insane. Whoever is in politics, finance. Good luck!

Yes, the G20 photo was photoshopped (original HERE) and the silly-time APEC photo is presented over and over here as the official APEC photo, when in fact the official photo has the US president at the host's right hand side (HERE).

He's standing by thr door to get out early and avoid the zillions of groupies, like us at zh,  waiting for him outside. 

 

I was connected to rock and roll in NY in the 70's (Ramones) and i know how annoying groupies can be.
