CNN Anchor Demands Americans "Stop Swooning Over Putin"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

We’ll just put this bluntly: when you, as a country, do something incredibly stupid from a foreign policy perspective, you open the door for your global critics and adversaries to i) call you out on it publicly, and ii) use your gross incompetence and general disregard for anything that even approximates common sense, to their geopolitical advantage. 

And make no mistake, in Syria, Washington, Riyadh, and Doha did something incredibly stupid.

They financed, armed, and trained a hodgepodge of Sunni extremists in Syria in an attempt to destabilize a regime that was deemed to be unfriendly to the interests of the West and its regional allies. 

Not to put too fine a point on it, but from the perspective of human suffering, the results have been simply horrific: hundreds of thousands dead and millions displaced.

From a reputational perspective, the results have been equally catastrophic. Not only did the US, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar have a hand in creating the group that ultimately morphed into what we never tire of characterizing as an insane band of white basketball shoe-wearing, black flag-waving, sword-wielding desert bandits bent on establishing a medieval caliphate, but subsequent efforts to arm and train “moderate” rebels were wildly unsuccessful, and the entire effort culminated in the embarrassing admission that the Pentagon’s latest “program” - designed to field 5,400 fighters by the end of the year - had only managed to produce “four or five” soldiers at a cost to the US taxpayer of $41 million.

Finally, the US just threw up its hands and resorted to paradropping hundreds of tons of ammo into the middle of nowhere and hoping the “right” people pick it up.

So one could be forgiven for being slightly enamored with the Russians at this juncture because in one extraordinarily elegant geopolitical chess move, Vladimir Putin has all at once i) exposed the fact that perhaps the US has ulterior motives for wanting to (gasp) keep ISIS around, ii) marked a triumphant return for Russia to the world stage, iii) strengthened Moscow’s relationship with Tehran ahead of the latter’s re-emergence as a force in the world of oil exporters, and iv) effectively restored Bashar al-Assad on the way to establishing a major Russian presence in the Mid-East. 

And that’s in the space of, oh, let’s just call it three weeks. 

This has been nothing short of a humiliation for Washington and just as Beijing simply instructed people not to sell when the SHCOMP rout embarrassed the Communist Party, the US wants you to know that it’s enough already with the Putin worship. Here’s CNN’s Fareed Zakaria: demanding that you to “Stop swooning over Putin”:

From a WaPo op-ed:

Vladimir Putin has the United States’ foreign policy establishment swooning.One columnist admires the “decisiveness” that has put him “in the driver’s seat” in the Middle East. A veteran diplomat notes gravely, “It’s the lowest ebb since World War II for U.S. influence and engagement in the region.” A sober-minded pundit declares, “Not since the end of the Cold War a quarter-century ago has Russia been as assertive or Washington as acquiescent.”

 

It’s true that it has been a quarter-century since Moscow has been so interventionist outside its borders. The last time it made these kinds of moves, in the late 1970s and 1980s, it invaded Afghanistan and interfered in several other countries as well. Back then, commentators similarly hailed those actions as signs that Moscow was winning the Cold War. How did that work out for the Soviet Union?

And now that we’ve given you a chance to thoroughly deride the American media for the anti-Putin line, we will once again prove that we are in fact fair and balanced. Here's what Zakaria gets right: 

Washington deposed Saddam Hussein’s regime in Iraq (Syria’s next-door neighbor, with many of the same tribes and sectarian divides). It did far more in Iraq than anyone is asking for in Syria, putting170,000 soldiers on the ground at the peak and spending nearly $2 trillion. And yet, a humanitarian catastrophe has ensued — with roughly 4 millioncivilians displaced and at least 150,000 killed. Washington deposed Moammar Gaddafi’s regime in Libya but chose to leave nation-building to the locals. The result has been what the New Yorker calls “a battle-worn wasteland.” In Yemen, the United States supported regime change and new elections. The result: a civil war that is tearing the country apart.

Of course he then skips directly to this:

Those who are so righteous and certain that this next intervention would save lives should at least pause and ponder the humanitarian consequences of the last three.

To which we say: Fareed, you seem to have forgotten that it wasn't Russia who trained and armed the groups who plunged Syria into civil war, it was the US and its regional allies.

You might want to mention that next time before you go getting too "righteous and certain."

Like’em or not, but you’ve got to admire how well Russia and Iran have planned the “anti-ISIS” offensive.

It started WAY BEFORE the recent Quds Commander Qasem Soleimani’s visit to the Kremlin.

About a year ago, right after ISIS (supported by Saudi Arabia and Qatar) “appeared” in Iraq and Syria, Iran returned the favor by stirring-up and supporting the Shia uprisings in Bahrain and Yemen, on SA’s northern and southern borders.

Russia, at the same time, had started infiltrating ALL ANTI-ASSAD GROUPS with the Chechen fighters. Many Chechens have joined different “terrisss” groups, including ISIS, and are as ruthless and evil as they come. However, some of them are “sleepers” loyal to Putin who have been activated a few weeks ago with the start of the Russian air offensive.

This is how Russia knows precisely which building, barn, or shithouse to bomb and that’s why the airstrikes are so effective.

Was greater planetary threat since one years ago precisely than riding Tunguska meteor al-Qaeda ebola infected.

One day Farred Zakharia, CNN, networks American television news, BBC, Deutsche Welle, NYT, Guardian, and other great apes told no more of Khorasan.

Khorasan disappeared? Disappeared.

One day greatest threat and next one day a memory and a memory fades rapidly.

Everything you wrote is 100% correct.

I live in Seattle and the city was full of "No Iraq War" signs when Bush was president.

People had these in the windows of their houses and back windows of their cars.

There were groups of protesters in one of the city parks almost every time I went there.

As soon as Obama got elected, all the signs were gone and protests were stopped.

Hypocrites of the worst kind.

Have you ever run into some guy at a party who by his own statements proves his provincialism? Zacharia is just like that. He's painful to listen to, yet you know it is pointless to try to correct him as his world-view is trapped in a kalidescopic tunnel-vision that he'll never relenquish. You akwardly ease away, feeling embarrassed for him, as you think to yourself, "You really just don't get it, do you Fareed?"

I have a niece who is a self righteious teacher (doing many things I approve of) but has a mind that is totally foreign to me. She comes up and argues some point that is aboslutely naive, braindead, progressive-liberal and obama worshipping. Her grandfather, my step dad, comes in and states a fact, she says "Why would you say such a thing, Grandpa?"

I come in, "Because he's had direct observation, interaction and personal history to make such a statement."

Her response, "Don't patronize me."

Stepdad has had a lot of interaction with government over the years, so have I.

Intern indeed. Make that a sub-intern. In one broadcast he managed to destroy whatever credabity he had. Research your story and find that: 1) England was ready to come to terms with Hitler but Jewish bankers quickly ended that, usering in WW2. 2) The USSA backed Iran and even deposed the leader in the 50's because he was pro-Iran. This full-retard policy resulted in the last Shah fleeing to the West who welcomed hi with open arms. 

I would like to see the Nobel folks revoke the Peace Prize given to Obama on the grounds or war mongering .... mabe this would help THEM salvage whatever reputation they have left.

The same guy who was OBL's (Col. Tim Osman) primary handler, under Directive 166, also was the architect of the General Agreement on Cooperation (1990), his signature witnessed by Valdimir Putin himself. Yeah, they were both in the same room.

Putin was also one those GRU officers, being paid handsomely for guarding the Soviet Union rocket forces' rocket fuel. Making sure no enterprising general would utilize it to start WW3. There is also the matter of the $10 billion to Gorbachev and the $30 billion coming to Putin, for the RF that you are going to have study a bit more yourself to figure that one out ..

Congressmen James Traficant on the Jewish lobby´s power in the U.S.

"But I believe that Israel has a powerful stranglehold on the American government. They control both members of the House, the House and the Senate. They have us involved in wars in which we have little or no interest.

Our children are coming back in body bags. Our nation is bankrupt over these wars. And if you open your mouth, you get targeted. And if they don't beat you at the poll, they'll put you in prison.

They're controlling much of our Foreign policy. They're influencing much of our domestic policy.
Wolfowitz (Jew) as undersecretary of defense manipulated President Bush number two back into Iraq. They've pushed definitely, definitely to try to get Bush before he left to move into Iran.

We're conducting the expansionist policy of Israel and everybody's afraid to say it. They control much of the media, they control much of the commerce of the country, and they control powerfully both bodies of the Congress. They own the Congress.

You see, I think America comes first. And we have a one-sided foreign policy in the Mideast, and we've alienated Arabs who have no way of fighting. So, what they've done -- and I predicted this on the House floor -- is they would export violence to America. And they have. They have no other way to fight.

Greta, I'm saying this. America is in danger if America doesn't take back their government without foreign influence, interference."

Problem is Zakaria and Obummer both work for the TRIBE.

I too tire of the putin worship, but this guy is an idiot. He seems to have it in his head that the US is, if not always in the right, they at least have good intentions. This is not the case, not even close. Personally, I think the best thing for that region is for everyone, Russia and US included, to just leave it alone. Offer to trade, offer to buy their oil, but stop propping up dictatorships, stop overthrowng existing governments, and stop ALL foreign aid. Let the chips fall where they may. Some argue that because we went in there and fucked all this up, and "invested" so much in lives and treasure, that we have a responsibility to fix it, but this is misguided. If everything we have done up to this point has made things worse, what possible reason is there to believe that doing more will end up helping?

 

As far as putin goes, while I do enjoy watching him make fools of these people, I certainly wouldn't want him ruling over me.

You guys are missing a salient point here...

Yes, oil is definitely part of the equation in the Middle East, but the main undercurrent force is that of the string pullers in Israel.  Their twisted vision of "Ersatz Israel" is a millenial-long "dream" and they will use everything in their power to attain it.  Why do you think they piss their collective pants over the thought that ANY neighboring gentile government MIGHT just attain nuclear weapons and act as a deterrent against their totalitarian aggressions?

In my opinion, THIS is the underlying reason Ziombie America and the rest of the living-dead-West are quagmired in that region.

"As far as putin goes, while I do enjoy watching him make fools of these people, I certainly wouldn't want him ruling over me."  

Well that I can understand, however, it still does not make any sense to me, why Americans accept to be ruled by the likes of Bush, Obama (and their puppetmasters). After all, Putin is simply far more human that they could ever be, contrary to his image as some kind of a "despot" in the West. Here, comparison of Obama and Putin. Which one seems more as a "ruler" and which one seems to be more just a president of the people?

According to Encyclopedia Britannica chess came from India.

That would explain why many cabs have checkers...errrr chess boards on them.

Persians didn't have a clear  understanding of war strategy... I herd Persians had a difficult time with 300 gayreeks at the battle of Thermopylae.

 

Speaking of Greeks.... When are they going to domino the rest of Europe?

All quiet since nobody cares.

Amazing how everybody cared 3 months ago.

Putin and China better hurry up and get all their Shiite done before Barry gets out[ted].

Something tells me Hitlery and her VP Sanders aren't going to putin up wit dat sheet.

All the time the westerm MSM and PTB were focussed on claiming Russia had invaded Ukaine, the Russian military were preparing for the Syria take down. It would take some considerable time to identify hidden weapon store, underground bunkers, command posts, supply routes, training camps etc and to build up a plan of action. Once this was largely complete, there would have been meetings with the relevant governments (Syria, Iran, Iraq) in order to get permission to implement  the plan of action. Then at the right time, implement the prepared plan, inserting a useful offensive force capable of going for known targets from day 0. The icing on the cake, an excuse to use the Kalibrs in combat to clearly indicate to the dumbest western military mind that Russia was not a pushover.

My guess is that now the west is blathering about the 'invasion of Syria' the Russians are studying the same features of the Nazis in Ukraine just in case they have to go in hard there. Maybe they won't as the Ukrops seem to be doing an excellent job of self-destructing themselves.

Guys, 

I'm having trouble here. I honestly can't enjoy anything on TV or movies anymore b/c I see right through the Hollywood BS and Mind control.... What am I to do? People like Alex Jones are even likely plants from the One World Government proponents. What can I enjoy when every person around me doesn't understand my worldview on how the FreeMasons control mass media and entertainment to keep them in a state of perpetual cognitive dissonance?

Every movie that comes out has some one world agenda behind. Everything is post-apocalyptic to prepare your mind for what is to come.... Everything is trending towards favorability with Singularity and getting our minds used to the fact that they want to take our brain strata and put it on a computer chip so they can cheat God and acheive immortality..... Some advice from the wise members of ZH ?

Nothing but a hegemonic neocon apologist.

The point is, Mr. Zacharia, Putin isn't the bad guy the deceitful, lying neocon nuts make him out to be...

Ukraine is but one example of this, and now Syria is another.

He's displaying real leadership we haven't seen since at least Reagan, if not Truman.

When we end our failed postwar global chessboard view of the world, we'll have fewer enemies...

...and less egg on our faces, too.
