Putin Unexpectedly Calls Obama: What Did They Talk About?

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Nearly a year since the last phone call between Obama and Putin, most of which happened at the request of the US president to provide sound-ops for the US media as part of the US "pacifist" intervention in the Ukraine civil war instigated by the US State Department, earlier today in an unexpected development, it was Putin who made an impromptu phone call to Obama.

This is what the Kremlin stated was the official purpose of Putin's phone call:

Vladimir Putin had a telephone conversation with President of the United States of America Barack Obama.

 

In particular, the two leaders discussed the Ukrainian crisis and the fulfilment of the Minsk Agreements. The Presidents agreed that US Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland and Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Grigory Karasin will be in contact to discuss implementation of these agreements.

Significant attention was given during the discussion to a set of issues pertaining to fighting terrorism, particularly the spread of influence by the “Islamic State” group in the Middle East. Vladimir Putin and Barack Obama agreed to instruct Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and US Secretary of State John Kerry to hold a meeting to discuss this issue.

 

In addition, the presidents of Russia and the US had an extensive discussion of current issues in bilateral relations. They also engaged in a detailed exchange of opinions concerning the situation in Syria and touched on settling the issue of the Iranian nuclear programme.

So why really did Putin call Obama?

The underlying reason may well have to do with what we discussed three weeks ago in "The Noose Around Syria's Assad Tightens" a post which we left off with two rhetorical questions: i) what is the maximum pain level for Russia, which has the greatest vested in interest in preserving the Assad regime in place, and when does Putin finally get involved, and ii) how.

Perhaps Putin gave an answer on i) or ii), or both, to Obama in the phone call. Curiously, speaking of US support for ISIS as a front to topple Assad, just a few hours before Putin's phone call, the WSJ reported an even more outlandish conspiracy theory:

In a tent city under a highway overpass in Baghdad, refugees from Iraq’s Sunni province of Anbar were unanimous about whom to blame for their misery.

 

“I hold Americans responsible for destroying Anbar,” said former policeman Wassem Khaled, whose home was taken over by Islamic State, or ISIS, after the Iraqi army fled from Anbar’s provincial capital of Ramadi last month.

 

We all know that America is providing ISIS with weapons and food, and that it is because of American backing that they have become so strong,” added Abbas Hashem, a 50-year-old who also escaped from Ramadi and now lives in the makeshift Baghdad camp that is only occasionally supplied with water.

 

Such conspiracy theories about America’s support for Islamic State are outlandish, no doubt. But they are so widespread that they now represent a political reality with real-world consequences—making it harder for the U.S. and allies to cobble together Iraqi forces that could regain the country’s Sunni heartland from Islamic State’s murderous rule one day.

Outlandish, sure. But when is the last time the US supported a local murderous insurgency just to achieve some ulterior regime-change model. We ask, of course, rhetorically.

So with that in mind, could the real conversation between Putin and Obama have been a simple quid-pro-quo of the sort: you let us keep Assad, and we won't bail out Greece jointly with China and plant a Russian naval base in Piraeus, right next to the brand new Chinese military base, smack in the middle of a NATO country, leading to the biggest diplomatic headache for a US administration since deciding how to pass of a vial full of innocuous white powder as a weapon of mass destruction and a pretext to invade Iraq in the middle of the UN assembly.

Given the depths of the relationship, I am wondering if Putin and Obama are really relevant as a two who can accomplish anything together. Obama has no control over the NATO command, the pentagon, the CIA, the Neoconservative congress, the Israeli Lobby and Tel Aviv. Obama can say what he likes to Putin, but the facts are made by what NATO does, what US CIA supplies to Kiev, what arms NATO brings up to Russia's border. Obama is a minor player, a puppet for the Deep State. Putin does indeed wield real power, but not nearly as much as the simple minded Americans think. Russia actually does have a deomocracy and a Parliament and many various parties. In fact, Putin is locked in a political stuggle with several different elements.

A phone call is nice I guess. But I give their abilit to do anything a very low probability. People need to understand the Deep State in America and how little real power a president has. Congress is a mirror for the Deep State, they act as agents of the Deep State, passing the laws the Deep State wants. Russia used to have a deep state during Soviet Times, but as of today, they Deep State is fairly weak and at odds with each other. Putin is the element that holds them together. But he is in a deeply split political Parliament and has a Central Bank he can hardly control.

He could have called Obama to say the OSCE monitors are reporting a big build-up of troops in the Donetsk area in violation of Minsk and if Poroshenko doesn't pull them back we will be forced, under a declaration of war (or not), to remove their threat to the people of Donbass.

The beginning of this round of problems isn't February 2014. Or December 2013.  No, June 2013, when Edward Snowden landed in Russia was the starting point.  The only players who know what Snowden got away with are Snowden and members of the FSB. Not even the NSA knew.

After Snowden, Russia was beset with the Arctic Sunrise, the ill treatment of their Ambassador to The Hague, and the West's lectures on the importance of same-sex marriages.

Then the illegitimate coup.  there were elections and referendums. Crimea belonged to Russia and Ukraine belonged to the West.  All the West's Horses and all the West's men tried to put Crimea back together again.  Russia created the Donbass buffer zone to prevent a direct bombardment and invasion of Crimea. 

 

When Russia, or any country, achieves a masterstroke like the arrival of Edward Snowden with laptop full of secrets, and conventional or nuclear war is not an option to punish the theft, the injured state is reduced to little mean acts like manhandling Russia's deputy Ambassador and ordering Greenpeace to attempt to take over a Russian drilling platform and go to jail in Murmansk for it.

The aggressor really should be prepared to take these small return swats for quite a while,  until enough time passes and the injured nation forgets how serious the injury was.

 Putin has broken Obama's serve.

Today's phone call to Obama is probably an ultimatum about the size of NATO's troops on Russia's borders or Poroshenko's aggressive behavior after Minsk.

It could have to do with the ISS.  Or perhaps that Russia and China will deposit $28bil into the Greek banking system next week.

Maybe we'll find out.  Maybe we won't

Putin could not possibly back off of Greece.  I do not think Obama or the west controls ISIS any longer .Its a snowball effect caused by a catastrophic world collapse .  My best guess is that he told Obama that he is going to support Greece and that if Obama and the west escalates the Ukrainian situation and violates the Minsk agreement he  will attack and take over Kiev.  He  warned Washington that NATO is going to collapse with the Grexit and he warn Obama  to not try to push the Ukraine situation alon

To the auther of this story; a small point I know but,

Why did you you refer to Vladimir Putin soley by name, but Barack Obama by his job title as well, is that meant as a slight to Mr. Putin, or do you think your readers have to have the full job description of Mr. Obama because they do not know him, or what he does, or is there another reason?

Putin - Hey Bo, remember when you said you needed more time after you got re-elected?

Obama - Yes and now that I have unlimited global power from this TPP treaty, how can I hook you up?

The US may be supporting them indirectly through Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is one of the largest financial supporters of Sunni terrrorists in the region. So, yes, we do support them by tacitly looking the other way when our "allies" do it. It's part of a larger war against Shiite's in the area.

It was just a one word conversation that being checkmate.

He spoke with the Pope recently as well.  Perhaps he is offering a last olive branch to "Just Us".  

If so, perhaps he and his staff already see checkmate of the west.  Western checkmate may have a high probability of western oligarchs ordering their political minons to false flag / first strike while resting comfortably in their bunkers.

Since this is a game where all parties would be better off not playing to the end, offering a last olive branch makes sense.

Vladimir called to refuse Obongo's homo-advances! He is not a homo or Western libtard, so he called libtard ape to curse his degenerate, wicked, vile Western nature!

Putin has no fear of Obama, and knows he can probably navigate through a conversation without losing any advantage.  Without a telepropter or a speech writer, Obama just becomes a regular inexperienced junior senator again.

"Putin unexpectedly calls Obama: What did they talk about?"

 

P: "Hey Barry, I heard Angie's making fun of you with Matteo and Alexis at another thread at ZH."

O: "Really?"

P: "Yeah, here ... http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-06-26/how-europe-tackles-its-debt-crisis-caption-contest#comment-6236955 "

O: "Oh yeah? Let me get my dawgs to blackmail that stormtrooper again."

Putin's recent words from a chat, he does not seem very happy: "All is a big game to control the world. And at the end of the day. All friends 

They have taken us as slaves unhappy. They deceive, control our mind to not protest. They force us to seek ways that are out of law, lead us to misery, taking everything because we fought. Create chaos and destruction. Only interested in slaves. The big lie"  But he also posted photos of himself with AK47 with the words: "Are you with me?" And then pictures of Kissinger, Rothschilds, Soros, Rockefeller and Dimon and said that he will send them some roses and something else with the roses: pretty Russian missiles.
